On semigroup algebras and semisimple semilattice sums of rings
Mark L. Teply · Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society · 1981
Let P be a semilattice. In (5), a ring T is called a supplementary semilattice sum of subringsTα (α∈P) if the following conditions hold: TαTβ⊆Tαβ for all α,β∈P, and for each α∈P. Thus, as an abelian group, T is a direct sum of the additive subgroups Tα (α∈P), and the multiplicative structure of T is strongly influenced by the semilattice P. Properties of these rings have been studied extensively in (2), (3), (5), and (6).
