Matrix and triangular localization over an Ore domain

ID: matrix-and-triangular-localization-over-an-ore-domain

Let be a domain satisfying both Ore conditions, with quotient division ring . A matrix over is regular exactly when it is invertible over : a kernel vector of a singular matrix can have its denominators cleared to give a nonzero annihilator over . An upper triangular matrix is regular exactly when all diagonal entries are nonzero. Each finite list of entries of a matrix over has a common left denominator . Thus it is a fraction with denominator , proving the displayed classical localizations. The triangular localization retains its strictly upper triangular nilpotent ideal; it is not a semisimple matrix ring.
