Invertibility of all left multiplication maps in non-unital rings
Another example. Let $R=\mathbb{C}$ as an additive group, with multiplication
$$(w,z)\mapsto\overline{wz}.$$

On the socle of rings
The example given by Mariano in comments (or rather, its opposite ring) is a counterexample if "socle" means "right socle". I think the following example works for both the right and left socle.
Let …

Direct product of rings
Barbara Osofsky proves this is not possible (assuming the Axiom of Choice, I think) in "Noninjective cyclic modules", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 19 (1968), 1383-1384.

Countable Maximal Ideals
Eric's result for commutative rings, that an example must have the ring no bigger than the continuum and the maximal ideal infinitely generated, extends to left ideals for non-commutative rings, assum …

Tensor decomposition under derived equivalence
Not in general.
For an easy example, let $C$ and $D$ be derived equivalent algebras. Then $A=C\times C$ and $B=C\times D$ are derived equivalent, and $A=C\otimes_K(K\times K)$ has a tensor decompositi …

Finite Dimensional Simple nonunital associative Algebras
I suspect there's a simpler argument that doesn't involve adjoining a unit, but ...
Adjoin a unit to get a unital algebra $B=K\oplus A$.
Since $B$ is a finite dimensional algebra, the Jacobson radic …

Can you test flatness on $FP_3$-modules?
Answering my own question in comments:
Let $k$ be a field, and $A=k\oplus V$, where $V$ is an infinite-dimensional square-zero ideal. Then I think $A$ has no non-projective $FP_3$-modules (using your …

Under what assumptions can endomorphisms of $M/IM$ be realized as a subquotient of endomorph...
Let $A=\mathbb{C}[x,y]$, $I=(x,y)$, and $M$ the $3$-dimensional $A$-module $(x,y)/(x^2,y^2)$ (with basis $\{x,y,xy\}$).
Then $M/IM$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of two copies of $\mathbb{C}=A/I$, so …

Modules "projective in a subcategory"
More generally, the following is true:
Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra ($k$ a field), $M$ a finite-dimensional indecomposable (right) $A$-module, and $S$ the category of coproducts of cop …

Bass' stable range for Bezout rings
In "Rings of continuous functions in which every finitely generated ideal is principal" by L. Gillman and M. Henriksen (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 82 (1956), 366-391 link), Example 3.4 is of a topologica …

$D(A) \otimes D(A)= A$?
If $A\cong D(A)^{\otimes i}$as $A$-bimodules, for some $i\geq1$, then $-\otimes_AD(A)$ is a self-equivalence of the module category, and so takes projectives to projectives. But it takes $A$ to $A\oti …

When for every module $M$, $|E(M)| = |M|$
If $R$ is a finite-dimensional algebra (of dimension $d$, say) over a field $k$, and $M$ is a left $R$-module, then
$$\dim(M)\leq\dim\left(E(M)\right)\leq d.\dim(M),$$
and so if $k$ is infinite then $ …

Dual of a module
As @S.Carnahan shows. this is not true.
Perhaps the statement you want is that the dual of $M[p^n]$ is $X/p^nX$?
Take the exact sequence
$$0\to M[p^n] \to M \to M \to M/p^nM \to 0,$$
where the mid …

For a monoid with zero $M$, how many additive operations on $M$ can there be making $M$ a ring?
I think the answer to (2) is yes (which also answers (1) and (4), of course).
First, note that $R=\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ and $S=\mathbb{F}_2[x]/(x^2)$ have isomorphic multiplicative monoids (via the …

Where is my mistake in calculating duals?
If $C$ is a right module then $C^*$ is a left module.
In Landrock, $\text{soc}(R)$ is the right socle. As he proves, it is a two-sided ideal, but it may not be semisimple as a left module (it is not …
