examples of semiprimitive rings
Examples of semiprimitive rings:
The integers :
Since is commutative, any left ideal
is two-sided. So the maximal left ideals of are the maximal ideals
of , which are the ideals for prime.So ,as there are infinitely many primes.
A matrix ring over a division ring :
The ring is simple, so the only proper ideal is . Thus .
A polynomial ring over an integral domain :
Take with .Then , since is an ideal, and .By one of the alternate characterizations of the Jacobson radical, is a unit.But .So is not a unit, and by this contradiction
we see that .
