Abstract

Levy [2] has examined semiprime rings which are irredundant subdirect products of prime rings. In this note we look at the role of inessential prime ideals and see how every semiprime ring is a subdirect product of (i) a semiprime ring which is an irredundant subdirect product of prime rings, and (ii) a semiprime (nonprime) ring, all of whose prime ideals are essential. This leads to a direct sum decomposition of maximal left quotient rings of semiprime rings with left singular ideal zero.
