Projection invariant extending rings

Abstract

A ring [Formula: see text] is said to be right [Formula: see text]-extending if every projection invariant right ideal of [Formula: see text] is essential in a direct summand of [Formula: see text]. In this article, we investigate the transfer of the [Formula: see text]-extending condition between a ring [Formula: see text] and its various ring extensions. More specifically, we characterize the right [Formula: see text]-extending generalized triangular matrix rings; and we show that if [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-extending, then so is [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an overring of [Formula: see text] which is an essential extension of [Formula: see text], an [Formula: see text] upper triangular matrix ring of [Formula: see text], a column finite or column and row finite matrix ring over [Formula: see text], or a certain type of trivial extension of [Formula: see text].
