Abstract: | A separative ring is one whose finitely generated projective modules satisfy the propertyA⊕A⋟A⊕B⋟B⊕B⇒A⋟B. This condition is shown to provide a key to a number of outstanding cancellation problems for finitely generated projective
modules over exchange rings. It is shown that the class of separative exchange rings is very broad, and, notably, closed under
extensions of ideals by factor rings. That is, if an exchange ringR has an idealI withI andR/I both separative, thenR is separative.

the NSF (USA). The final version of this paper was prepared while he was visiting the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, Institut
d'Estudis Catalans in Barcelona, and he thanks the CRM for its hospitality. |
