What is the current status of the Kaplansky zero-divisor conjecture for group rings?
Let $K$ be a field and $G$ a group. The so called zero-divisor conjecture for group rings asserts that the group ring $K[G]$ is a domain if and only if $G$ is a torsion-free group.
A couple of good r …

Definition of a Grothendieck ring
Let $\mathrm{Var}_k$ denote the category of varieties over a field $k$. Then $K_0(\mathrm{Var}_k)$ is the free abelian group generated by symbols $[X]$ for $X\in \mathrm{Var}_k$, subject to the relati …

Simple Ore extensions
Let $R[x;\sigma,\delta]$ be an Ore extension, where $R$ is an associative and unital ring and $\sigma : R\to R$ is a (not necessarily injective!) ring endomorphism. (In the literature it is often assu …

Non-singular rings which are Rickart
A ring $R$ is said to be a right Rickart ring if the right annihilator of any element in $R$ is of the form $eR$ for some idempotent $e \in R$.
It turns out that a ring $R$ is right Rickart iff every …

Proof a Weyl Algebra isn't isomorphic to a matrix ring over a division ring
This is not an answer to the original question. However, it is related and I think that it is worth mentioning.
Assuming that ring morphisms take identity elements to identity elements, we can show t …

Non-simple and non-unital rings with trivial centres
Let $R$ be an associative and non-unital ring. (Suppose that $R$ is $s$-unital, i.e. for each $x\in R$ there is $u,v\in R$ such that $ux=xv=x$.)
It is not difficult to show that if $R$ is a simple ri …
