Extension and amalgamation in rings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
It is proved that if a ring R has the extension property in containing ringSi, then the amalgam [R; Si,] is strongly embeddable. Using a result of P. M. Cohn, a necessary and sufficient condition for a ring to be an amalgamation base is then given. It is also shown that R is a level subring of a ring S if and only if S/R is flat. From this, a classical result of P. M. Cohn on flat amalgams is proved.
