Rings $R$ such that every [regular] square matrix with entries in $R$ is equivalent to an upper triangular matrix

Let $\text{M}_n(R)$ be the ring of $n$-by-$n$ matrices with entries in a commutative unital ring $R$. Theorem III in C.R. Yohe, Triangular and Diagonal Forms for Matrices over Commutative ...

Curious anti-commutative ring

Has anyone seen the ring $\Lambda[x_0, x_1, x_2, \ldots]/(x_i x_j - (i+1) x_0 x_{i+j})$ in some natural context? Here $\Lambda[x_0, x_1, x_2, \ldots]$ is the (graded-)commutative algebra (either over ...

Book or survey on Dedekind-finite rings

I'm seeking a book or a survey providing an overview, as rich as possible, of the literature on Dedekind-finite (or von Neumann-finite) rings (let me recall that a unital ring $R$ is Dedekind-finite ...

Existence of infinitely many pairwise non-associate atoms in a ring of polynomials in $k$ variables over a Dedekind-finite unital ring

The following comes as a by-product of a more abstract result, and I'm essentially looking for a reference to it (or to something more general than it). Corollary. Let $R$ be a non-trivial Dedekind-...
