In this note, we characterize quasi-Frobenius rings by a weakened form of the usual condition, that every ideal is an annihilator ideal.We then apply this result to pure rings in the sense of Cohn and to dominant rings, a concept arising in the study of ring epimorphisms. All rings considered have a unit element.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
