Abstract

For an ideal I of a nonassociative algebra A, the π-closure of I is defined by \(\overline{I} = {\rm Ann}({\rm Ann} (I))\), where Ann(I) denotes the annihilator of I, i.e., the largest ideal J of A such that IJ = JI = 0. An algebra A is said to be π-complemented if for every π-closed ideal U of A there exists a π-closed ideal V of A such that A = U ⊕ V. For instance, the centrally closed semiprime ring, and the AW -algebras (or more generally, boundedly centrally closed C -algebras) are π-complemented algebras. In this paper we develop a structure theory for π-complemented algebras by using and revisiting some results of the structure theory for pseudocomplemented lattices.
