Abstract:
Associative rings $R$ and $R'$ are said to be lattice-isomorphic if their subring lattices $L(R)$ and $L(R')$ are isomorphic. An isomorphism of the lattice $L(R)$ onto the lattice $L(R')$ is called a projection (or lattice isomorphism) of the ring $R$ onto the ring $R'$. A ring $R'$ is called a projective image of a ring $R$. Whenever a lattice isomorphism $\varphi$ implies an isomorphism between $R$ and $R^\varphi$,
we say theat the ring $R$ is determined by its subring lattice. The present paper
is a continuation of previous research on lattice isomorphisms of finite rings.
We give a complete description of projective images of prime and semiprime
finite rings. One of the basic results is the theorem on lattice definability of
a matrix ring over an arbitrary Galois ring. Projective images of finite rings
decomposable into direct sums of matrix rings over Galois rings of different
types are described.
Keywords:finite rings, matrix rings, subring lattices, lattice isomorphisms of rings.
