On Frobenius Extensions II

Abstract

In Part I we introduced the notion of 2. Frobenius extensions of a ring, as a generalization of Kasch’s [10] Frobenius extensions and hence of classical Frobenius algebras. We proved, in I, bilinear (or sesqui-linear, rather, to follow Bourbaki’s terminology) form and scalar product characterizations of Frobenius extensions in such extended sense, generalizing Kasch’s and classical case, and then studied homological dimensions in them, generalizing and refining the results in Eilenberg-Nakayama [4] and Hirata [6]. Dual bases were considered in case of quasi-free (2.) Frobenius extensions Also the case of a semi-primary or S-ring ground ring was studied.
