Let N be an ideal of a ring A. We say that idempotents modulo N can be lifted provided that for every a of A such that a2-a ∈ N there exists an element e2=e ∈ A such that e-a ∈ N. The technique of lifting idempotents is considered to be a fundamental tool in the classical theory of nonsemiprimitive Artinian rings (refer [2; p. 72]).
