Abstract

If RR is a semiartinian Von Neumann regular ring, then the set \PrimR\Prim_{R} of primitive ideals of RR, ordered by inclusion, is an artinian poset in which all maximal chains have a greatest element. Moreover, if \PrimR\Prim_{R} has no infinite antichains, then the lattice \BL2(R)\BL_{2}(R) of all ideals of RR is anti-isomorphic to the lattice of all upper subsets of \PrimR\Prim_{R}. Since the assignment UrR(U)U\mapsto r_R(U) defines a bijection from any set \SimpR\Simp_R of representatives of simple right RR-modules to \PrimR\Prim_{R}, a natural partial order is induced in \SimpR\Simp_R, under which the maximal elements are precisely those simple right RR-modules which are finite dimensional over the respective endomorphism division rings; these are always RR-injective. Given any artinian poset II with at least two elements and having a finite cofinal subset, a lower subset I\sbsII'\sbs I and a field DD, we present a construction which produces a semiartinian and unit-regular DD-algebra DID_I having the following features: (a) \SimpDI\Simp_{D_I} is order isomorphic to II; (b) the assignment H\SimpDI/HH\mapsto\Simp_{D_I/H} realizes an anti-isomorphism from the lattice \BL2(DI)\BL_{2}(D_I) to the lattice of all upper subsets of \SimpDI\Simp_{D_I}; (c) a non-maximal element of \SimpDI\Simp_{D_I} is injective if and only if it corresponds to an element of II', thus DID_I is a right VV-ring if and only if I=II' = I; (d) DID_I is a right \emph{and} left VV-ring if and only if II is an antichain; (e) if II has finite dual Krull length, then DID_I is (right and left) hereditary; (f) if II is at most countable and I=\vuI' = \vu, then DID_I is a countably dimensional DD-algebra.
