Proposition 1 033.<br />

'equiva len t..<br />

For any r<strong>in</strong>g R,<br />

the follow<strong>in</strong>g conditions are<br />

(a) All right R-modules are semisimple<br />

( b) All left R-modules are semisimple<br />

( c) RR<br />

is semisimple<br />

(d) RR is semisirnple<br />

Def<strong>in</strong>ition 1 0 34 .<br />

A r<strong>in</strong>g satisfy<strong>in</strong>g the conditions of Proposition 1033<br />

is callpd a<br />

semisimple r<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Def<strong>in</strong>ition 1.35.<br />

A module A is Art<strong>in</strong>ian provided A satisfies the<br />

descend<strong>in</strong>g cha<strong>in</strong> condition (DCC) on submodules, i.e.,<br />

there does not exist a properly descend<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite cha<strong>in</strong><br />

of 5ubmodules of A.<br />

A r<strong>in</strong>g R is called right (left) Art<strong>in</strong>ian<br />

if and only if the right R-module RR (left R-module RR) is<br />

Art<strong>in</strong>ian.<br />

If both conditions hold, R is called an Art<strong>in</strong>ian<br />

r<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Remark 1 036.<br />

As <strong>in</strong> the case of Noetherian structures it is easy to<br />

observe that-A is Art<strong>in</strong>ian if and only if Ala and 8<br />
