This is a type of cancellation law that works eg, for finitely generated projective modules over a “finite” self-injective regular ring. It turns out that for finitely generated projective modules over regular rings this cancellation law holds precisely when the ring is unit regular [definitions follow). A related problem is the transitivity of perspectivity on L (R). We show that transitivity holds on a two by two matrix ring over R if and only if R is unit regular. An example of Bergman’s is included to show that transitivity on L (R) itself is not sufficient for unit regularity. Along the way, we obtain the following result for arbitrary complemented lattices:
