   Format: MarkdownItexCould you clarify "the maximum number of direct summands of left (or right) ideals" of a ring? Some qualification seems to be missing. I guess you mean non-zero ideals? And you mean a direct sum of them that is still a sub-module of the ring itself?

   Format: MarkdownItexSorry, I was not around. Thanks for the question. The direct sum is the internal direct sum, hence a submodule by definition. To quote Goodearl, the Goldie rank is $n$ (the ring) "contains a direct sum of $n$ nonzero submodules but no direct sum of $n + 1$ nonzero submodules." The definition is also used for modules, not only for the ring. Noetherianess is clearly sufficient to have a finite number. For submodules to use this definition one assumes a finite rank, that is its [[injective envelope]] is a direct sum of a finite direct sum of indecomposables.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks. I think that's equivalent to what I guessed. Will make a brief entry for "[[internal direct sum]]" to make this precise.
