Synopsis

The publication of the results in this paper has been delayed, for non-mathematical reasons. However, the author has given lectures on these results in Smolenice [2], Gainesville, Tulane. Riverside (1971), Milan (1972) and in Paris. The main consideration in this paper is the notion of a fragmented ring and its multiplicative semigroup. A fragmented ring is a ring with an identity having a finite set of idempotents, these commuting and therefore being central. In a subsequent paper we shall consider associated ideas in a purely semigroup-theoretic context and, in so doing, point out some differences between general semigroups and those semigroups that are the multiplicative semigroups of rings.
