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 />
are
