Completely simple endomorphism rings of modules

It is proved that if Ap is a countable elementary abelian p-group, then: (i) The ring End (Ap) does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (ii) Under (CH) the simple ring End (Ap)/I, where I is the ideal of End (Ap) consisting of all endomorphisms with finite images, does not admit a...

Description
Summary:It is proved that if Ap is a countable elementary abelian p-group, then: (i) The ring End (Ap) does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (ii) Under (CH) the simple ring End (Ap)/I, where I is the ideal of End (Ap) consisting of all endomorphisms with finite images, does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (iii) The finite topology on End (Ap) is the only second metrizable ring topology on it. Moreover, a characterization of completely simple endomorphism rings of modules over commutative rings is obtained.
