Ring properties which can be checked on sufficiently many Ore localizations
Let $R$ be a non-commutative Ore domain, and let $R[S_i^{-1}]$ be a finite set of Ore localizations. The absence of a geometric theory means there is no obvious candidate for when this set of localiz …

Idempotents in Rings of Differential Operators
Here's a cute partial result, classifying idempotents of order 1.
Let $\delta$ be an idempotent differential operator of order 1. Then there is a unique decomposition $R\simeq A\oplus M$, with $A$ a …

Can a module be an extension in two really different ways?
I believe this is a counter example. Let $R=\mathbb{C}[x]$, and consider finite-dimensional modules (ie, f.d. vector spaces equipped with a distinguished endomorphism). For convenience, I will iden …

Pulling out factors in a Noetherian Domain
Let $R$ be a Noetherian domain (not-necessarily commutative), and let $S$ be a Noetherian subring of $R$. An element $r\in R$ is left $S$-irreducible if, for any $s\in S$ and $r' \in R$ with $sr'=r$, …

Idempotents in Rings of Differential Operators
Differential Operators on General Commutative Rings
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let R be a commutative k-algebra. Then a (Grothendieck) differential operator on …

Does the image of a differential operator always contain an ideal?
Let $\delta$ denote a non-zero complex algebraic differential operator in a single variable x. That is, it can be written as a sum
$$ \delta = \sum_i f_i\partial_x^i$$
where there $f_i$ are complex p …

Depth Zero Ideals in the Homogenized Weyl Algebra
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the $n$th Weyl algebra $ \mathcal{D} :=k[x_1,...,x_n,\partial_1,...,\partial_n] $, where $\partial_ix_i-x_i\partial_i=1$.
Let $\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}$ be its Rees algebra, whi …

Proof a Weyl Algebra isn't isomorphic to a matrix ring over a division ring
A different proof would be to show that a Weyl algebra is not semisimple, that is, that it is not a direct sum of simple submodules as a left module over itself. However, note that there is an infini …

What is the "right" definition of a ring?
Much like abelian groups and groups, commutative rings and non-commutative rings have different motivations in my mind.
As people have said, non-commutative rings are naturally endomorphisms of abeli …
