Abstract

A radical $ \alpha $ in the universal class of all associative rings is called matric-extensible if for all natural numbers n and all rings A, A $ \in $ $ \alpha $ if and only if Mn (A) $ \in $ $ \alpha $, where Mn (A) denotes the n×n matrix ring with entries from A. We show that there are no coatoms, that is, maximal elements in the lattice of all matric-extensible radicals of associative rings.
