Isomorphisms between endomorphism rings of projective modules

Abstract

Let R and S be arbitrary rings, RM and SN countably generated free modules, and let φ:End(RM)→End(sN) be an isomorphism between the endomorphism rings of M and N. Camillo [3] showed in 1984 that these assumptions imply that R and S are Morita equivalent rings. Indeed, as Bolla pointed out in [2], in this case the isomorphism φ must be induced by some Morita equivalence between R and S. The same holds true if one assumes that RM and SN are, more generally, non-finitely generated free modules.
