On Quasi-Frobenius Rings

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Trends in Mathematics ((TM))

Abstract

There are three outstanding conjectures about quasi-Frobenius rings: The Faith conjecture that every left perfect, right selfinjective ring is quasi-Frobenius; The FGF-conjecture that every ring for which each finitely generated right module embeds in a free module is quasi-Frobenius; and The Faith-Menal conjecture that every right noetherian ring in which all right ideals are annihilators is quasi-Frobenius. In this paper we survey recent work on these conjectures and provide some new results on the subject.
