The topology defined by all
finite codimensional right ideals has interesting properties in the case of the free
algebra and the group ring of a free group. Its open ideals are precisely the finitely
generated essential ones. Finitely generated right ideals are closed and the Leavitt
numbers of the associated localization are 1 and n − 1. The proofs are, for the most
part, applications of Schreier’s method.
