Embeddings in matrix rings

Shimshon A. Amitsur

Vol. 36 (1971), No. 1, 21–29
Abstract

For a fixed integer n 1, and a given ring R there exists a homomorphism ρ;R Mn(K),K a commutative ring such that every homomorphism of R into an n × n matrix ring Mn(H) over a commutative ring can be factored through ρ by a homomorphism induced by a mapping η : K H. The ring K is uniquely determined up to isomorphisms. Further properties of K are given.
