Abstract

We introduce in this paper the concept of left 𝑊 𝑀 𝐶 2 rings and concern ourselves with rings containing an injective maximal left ideal. Some known results for left idempotent reflexive rings and left 𝐻 𝐼 rings can be extended to left 𝑊 𝑀 𝐶 2 rings. As applications, we are able to give some new characterizations of regular left self-injective rings with nonzero socle and extend some known results on strongly regular rings.
