When every pure ideal is projective

摘要

In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every pure ideal is projective. We refer to rings with this property as PIP-rings. Some properties and examples of PIP-rings are given. When R is a PIP-ring, some new homological dimensions for complexes are given. As applications, we give some new characterizations of von Neumann regular rings, F-rings and semisimple Artinian rings.
