On existence of unit in semicompact rings and topological rings with finiteness conditions
A. V. Khokhlov
Abstract:
We study quasi-unitary topological rings and modules (
$m\in Rm$ $\forall m\in {}_RM$) and multiplicative stabilizers of their subsets. We give the definition of semicompact rings. The proved statements imply, in particular, that left quasi-unitariness of a separable ring
$R$ is equvivalent to existence of its left unit, if
$R$ has one of the following properties: 1)
$R$ is (semi-)compact, 2)
$R$ is left linearly compact, 3)
$R$ is countably semicompact (countably left linearly compact) and has a dense countably generated right ideal, 4)
$R$ is precompact and has a left stable neighborhood of zero, 5)
$R$ has a dense finitely generated right ideal (e. g.
$R$ satisfies the maximum condition for closed right ideals), 6) the module
${}_RR$ is topologically finitely generated and
${}^{\circ}\!R=0$.
