    Proof: Why a = axa When A is a Ring & Jac(A)=0

    Let A be a ring. If every finitely generated right ideal is genreated by an idempotent then Jac(A) =0. Here Jac(A) means jacobson radical. Proof: Let a be in Jac(A) and pick an idempotent element e such that Ae = Aa, thus a = ae and e=xa for x in A. Hence a =axa so a(1-xa)=0. Since...
