Our article [10] about group-graded rings and Clifford theory seems to have struck a chord in several mathematicians, to judge by the letters we have received. By far the most interesting of those letters came from K.-H. Ulbrich, who pointed out that some of the material in the opening sections of [10] duplicated parts of his thesis [23]. What is more, his thesis and the resulting paper [24] were only the latest in a series of works on this subject by a number of students of Galois theory, starting with the articles [19] and [20] by Kanzaki and Miyashita, respectively, at the end of the sixties. Thus the Galois-theorists had been using the'strongly G-graded rings' of [10] at least as long as the Clifford-theorists, who also started at the end of the sixties with [7]. In the first section below we shall trace some of the history of this duplicate development and suggest a common name for the objects studied by both groups of mathematicians. In the rest of this note we shall explain how an idea of Miyashita can be used to relate Green's theories of vertices and sources to the present situation. w 1. Names and OriginsThe objects we have all been studying are'group-graded rings with an extra condition'. By a ring 9t we understand an associative ring with identity 1= 1~. We fix a multiplicative group G with identity 1= 1 a. A G-graded ring 91 is then a ring, also called 91, together with a direct sum decomposition:
