Abstract

For any semisimple f-ring A with bounded inversion, we show that the frame of radical ideals of A and the frame of z-ideals of A have isomorphic subfit coreflections. If we assume the Axiom of Choice, then the two coreflections are actually identical. If the f-ring has the property that the sum of two z-ideals is a z-ideal (as in the case of rings of continuous functions), then the epicompletion of the frame of z-ideals is shown to be a dense quotient of the epicompletion of the frame of radical ideals. Baer rings, exchange rings, and normal rings that lie in the class of semisimple f-rings with bounded inversion are shown to have characterizations in terms of frames of z-ideal which are similar to characterizations in terms of frames of radical ideals.
