1 Introduction

In [1], Nicholson and Sánchez Campós introduced and studied left morphic rings, which were extensively studied in the literatures[2-7]. An elementain a ringRis called left morphic ifR/Ra≅l(a). A ringRis called left morphic in case every element inRis left morphic. Right morphic rings are defined analogously. It is well known thatais left morphic in a ringRif and only if there exists someb∈Rsuch thatRa=l(b) andRb=l(a). In [2], the authors investigate when the trivial extensionR∝Mof a ringRand a bimoduleMoverRis (left) morphic. In this paper, we introduce a new extension ring of a ringR-subring-extension, and investigate the relation between the morphic property ofRand its subring-extension.

ProofFor anya∈C, we have (a,0)∈Sis left morphic. Then there exists (b,c)∈Ssuch thatlS(a,0)=S(b,c) andlS(b,c)=S(a,0). We can easily to verify thatlC(a)=CbandlC(b)=Ca. ThusCis a left morphic ring.

Analogously, for anyy∈R, we have (0,y)∈Sis left morphic. Then there exists (x,t)∈Ssuch thatlS(0,y)=S(x,t) andlS(x,t)=S(0,y). It is clear thatRy⊆lR(x+t) andR(x+t)⊆lR(y). Next, letm∈lR(x+t). It follows that (0,m)∈lS(x,t), and so (0,m)∈S(0,y). Immediately we getm∈Ry, whenceRy=lR(x+t). And letn∈lR(y), we derive (0,n)∈lS(0,y)=S(x,t), say (0,n)=(h,r)(x,t) for some (h,r)∈S. Then 0=hxandn=ht+r(x+t). Son=h(x+t)+r(x+t)=(h+r)(x+t)∈S(x+t). HenceR(x+t)=lR(y). The proof is complete.

The following example shows that the converse of Corollary 1 is not true.

Proposition2LetRbe a ring, and leta∈R. Then the following are equivalent:

(1)a∈Ris left morphic.

(1)⟹(2) Sincea∈Ris left morphic, then there existsb∈Rsuch thatlR(a)=RbandlR(b)=Ra. It can be verified thatlS(a,0)=S(b,0) andlS(b,0)=S(a,0).

(2)⟹(1) If (a,0)∈Sis left morphic, it follows thatlS(a,0)=S(b,c) andlS(b,c)=S(a,0) for some (b,c)∈S. It is easy to verify thatlR(a)=RbandlR(b)=Ra, as required.

Lemma1LetRbearing anda,b∈R,u∈U(R). Then the following are equivalent:

ProofBy [7, Lemma 3].

ProofSinceeis an idempotent inR, then (0,e) is an idempotent inS, and so (0,e)∈Sis left morphic. We know (0,eu)=(0,e)(u,0) and (0,ue)=(u,0)(0,e) where (u,0)∈U(S), so (0,eu) and (0,ue) are both left morphic inS.

Lemma2If eachCiis a subring of the ringRi, fori=1,2,…,n, then

4) Ifa≠0 andb≠-a, then we claim (a,b)∈Sis invertible. In fact, (a,b)(a-1,-(a+b)-1ba-1)=(a-1,-a-1b(a+b)-1)(a,b)=(1,0). This implies (a,b) is morphic inS, as required.

a) If allaij=0, butblm≠0 for somelandm. Again, by a series of elementary operations,xlmcan be moved to the (1,1)-entry, and all entries in the first row and the first column, except the (1,1)-entry, can be reduced to 0.

b) If allaij=-bij≠0. We can also take proper elementary operations, such that all entries in the first row and the first column, except the (1,1)-entry can be reduced to 0.

c) If there are bothaij=0 andalm=-blm≠0 for somei,j,landm. First, we movexij=(aij,bij)=(0,bij) to the (1,1)-entry, and by a series of elementary operations, we can change all the (1,k)-entries and (k,1)-entries fork>1 which have the formation (0,b1k) and (0,bk1) to 0. Second, movexlm=(alm,blm)=(alm,-alm) to the (1,1)-entry, then we can change all the (1,k)-entries and (k,1)-entries fork>1 which have the formation (a1k,-a1k) and (ak1,-ak1) to 0.

Hence,Xcan be reduced to

Corollary4IfRis a semisimple ring, thenRis strongly morphic.

For further study, we end this article by several problems.
