Given a ring R and an injective ring endomorphism α: R → R, not necessarily surjective, it is possible to define a minimal overring A(R, α) of R to which extends as an automorphism. The ring A(R, α) was first studied by D. A. Jordan in his paper [5], where he also introduces the central objects of this paper—the closed left ideals of R. As can be seen from Theorem 4.7 of [5], the left ideal structure of A(R, α) depends very strongly on the closed left ideals of R, and our aim here is to show that each maximal left ideal of a left Artinian ring is closed.
