✦ Synopsis
Mackey and Ornstein proved that if R is a semi-simple ring then the ring of row Ž Ž . . and column finite matrices over R RCFM R is a Baer ring for any infinite set ⌫ Ž . ⌫. A ring with identity is a Baer ring if every left equivalent every right annihilator is generated by an idempotent. This result is discussed in Kaplansky's book, ''Rings of Operators.'' This result is of course decades old. Here we prove that the converse is true. The proof is long and we develop techniques which allow Ž . us to obtain results of a more modern flavor about RCFM R , where R is a ⌫ perfect or semi-primary ring. Finally, we obtain good enough results on annihila-Ž . tors in RCFM ޚ to show that this ring is coherent.

I prove that given a finite semigroup or finite associative ring S and a system ⌺ of equations of the form ax s b or xa s b, where a, b g S, x is an unknown, it is algorithmically impossible to decide whether or not ⌺ is solvable over S, that is, Ž whether or not there exists a bigger semigroup or r
