It is now known (3) that if is a regular rank ring, then the rank function can be extended to the matrix ring in such a way that R(a) = R(a ꕕ n) ; here, a is an arbitrary element of is the n × n diagonal matrix with a for each entry on the diagonal, and R denotes rank in and also in . It is also known (2) that every regular rank ring has a rankmetric completion which is again a regular rank ring.
