Abstract
An idempotent e of an algebra R is left semicentral if Re = eRe. If 0 and 1 are the only left semicentral idempotents in R, then R is called semicentral reduced. Recent results on generalized triangular matrix algebras and semicentral reduced algebras are surveyed. New results are provided for endomorphism algebras of modules and for semicentral reduced algebras. In particular, semicentral reduced rings which are right FPF, right nonsingular, or left perfect are described.
