Extract

It is claimed in [3], proposition 4 that if a Morita context (R, V, W, S) is such that WVW = W and S/WV is flat as a right S-module, then Vω = 0, ω ∈ W, implies ω = 0. The proof given for this uses proposition 5 of Azumaya[l] in which rings have unity and so is only applicable when the ring S has a unity. Thus proposition 4 in [3] should be amended so that the additional hypothesis that S has a unity is imposed for statement (4) to be equivalent to the first three statements. It is the purpose of this note to give an example to show that the claim in [3] is false in general.
