Suppose $A$ is an Azumaya algebra over a ring $R$ and $\sigma$ is an involution of $A$ extending an order-$2$ automorphism $\lambda:R\to R$. We say $\sigma$ is extraordinary if there does not exist a Brauer-trivial Azumaya algebra…

In this paper we prove that two idempotent rings are Morita equivalent if every corner of one of them is isomorphic to a corner of a matrix ring of the other one. We establish the converse (which is not true in general) for $\sigma$-unital…

We consider the general circumstance of an Azumaya algebra $A$ of degree $n$ over a locally ringed topos $(\mathbf{X}, {\mathcal{O}}_{\mathbf{ X}})$ where the latter carries a (possibly trivial) involution, denoted $\lambda$. This…

We study Morita equivalence and Morita duality for rings with local units. We extend the Auslander's results on the theory of Morita equivalence and the Azumaya-Morita duality theorem to rings with local units. As a consequence, we give a…

Let $(A,\sigma)$ be an Azumaya algebra with orthogonal involution over a ring $R$ with $2\in R^\times$. We show that if $(A,\sigma)$ admits an improper isometry, i.e., an element $a\in A$ with $\sigma(a)a=1$ and $\mathrm{Nrd}_{A/R}(a)=-1$,…

The main theorem (Theorem 4.1) of this paper claims that any ring morphism from an Azumaya algebra of constant rank over a commutative ring to another one of the same constant rank and over a reduced commutative ring induces a ring morphism…

Rings form a bicategory [Rings], with classes of bimodules as horizontal arrows, and bimodule maps as vertical arrows. The notion of Morita equivalence for rings can be translated in terms of bicategories in the following way. Two rings are…

Two Azumaya algebras with involutions are considered over a regular local ring. It is proved that if they are isomorphic over the quotient field, then they are isomorphic too. In particular, if two quadratic spaces over such a ring are…

We develop the basics of Morita theory for super rings. As an application, we produce a more explicit super Morita equivalence in the case of super Azumaya algebras.

Motivated by deformation quantization, we introduced in an earlier work the notion of formal Morita equivalence in the category of $^*$-algebras over a ring $\ring C$ which is the quadratic extension by $\im$ of an ordered ring $\ring R$.…

We develop a technique to show the Morita equivalence of certain subrings of a ring with local units. We then apply this technique to develop conditions that are sufficient to show the Morita equivalence of subalgebras induced by partial…

In this paper we continue our investigation of signatures of hermitian forms over Azumaya algebras with involution over commutative rings. We show that the approach used in an earlier paper for central simple algebras can be extended to…

We prove that if two associative deformations (parameterized by the same complete local ring) are derived Morita equivalent, then they are Morita equivalent (in the classical sense).

We introduce the new notion of general bilinear forms (generalizing sesquilinear forms) and prove that for every ring $R$ (not necessarily commutative, possibly without involution) and every right $R$-module $M$ which is a generator (i.e.…

We prove that two semigroups with local units are Morita equivalent if and only if they have a joint enlargement. This approach to Morita theory provides a natural framework for understanding McAlister's theory of the local structure of…

It seems that Morita invariance is a useful criterion for judging the importance of the classes of ring extensions concerned. Y. Miyashita introduced the notion of Morita equivalence in ring extensions, and he showed that the classes of…

Let $(A,\sigma)$ be a central simple algebra with an orthogonal involution. It is well-known that $O(A,\sigma)$ contains elements of reduced norm $-1$ if and only if the Brauer class of $A$ is trivial. We generalize this statement to…

The classical Morita Theorem for rings established the equivalence of three statements, involving categorical equivalences, isomorphisms between corners of finite matrix rings, and bimodule homomorphisms. A fourth equivalent statement…

$\textbf{Theorem 1.2.}$ For a ring $A$, the following conditions are equivalent. $\textbf{1)}$ $A$ is a right automorphism-invariant right non-singular ring. $\textbf{2)}$ $A$ is a right automorphism-invariant regular ring. $\textbf{3)}$…

We introduce Morita equivalence to the study of Kleene algebras and modules. Classical characterizations of Morita-equivalent semirings such as having equivalent categories of modules and one semiring being a full matrix algebra over the…
