SBI ring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In algebra, an SBI ring is a ring R (with identity) such that every idempotent of R modulo the Jacobson radical can be lifted to R. The abbreviation SBI was introduced by Irving Kaplansky and stands for "suitable for building idempotent elements".[1]
