Separable functors and firm modules

Abstract

We develop a theory of separable ring extensions and separable functors for nonunital rings in the setting of firm modules. We prove nonunital analogues of classical results on functorial separability and semisimplicity, and apply these results to obtain a locally unital version of Maschke's theorem for group rings.
