Rings all of whose additive group endomorphisms are left multiplications

Motivated by Cauchy's functional equation f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y), we study in §1 special rings, namely, rings for which every endomorphism f of their additive group is of the form f(x)≡ax. In §2 we generalize to R algebras (R a fixed commutative ring) and give a classification theorem when R is a com...
