examples of semiprimitive rings
Examples of semiprimitive rings:
The integers :
Since is commutative, any left ideal is two-sided. So the maximal left ideals of are the maximal ideals of , which are the ideals for prime.
So ,
as there are infinitely many primes.
A matrix ring over a division ring :
The ring is simple, so the only proper ideal is . Thus .
A polynomial ring over an integral domain :
Take with .
Then , since is an ideal, and .
By one of the alternate characterizations of the Jacobson radical,
is a unit.
But .
So is not a unit, and by this contradiction we see that .
