right primitive ideal

A two-sided ideal $ P $ of an associative ring $ R $ such that the quotient ring $ R / P $ is a (right) primitive ring. Analogously, by using left primitive rings, one can define left primitive ideals. The set $ \mathfrak{P} $ of all primitive ideals of a ring, endowed with some topology, is useful in the study of various classes of rings. Usually, $ \mathfrak{P} $ is topologized using the following closure relation: $$ \forall A \subseteq \mathfrak{P}: \qquad \operatorname{Cl}(A) \stackrel{\text{df}}{=} \left\{ Q \in \mathfrak{P} ~ \middle| ~ Q \supseteq \bigcap_{P \in A} P \right\}. $$ The set of all primitive ideals of a ring endowed with this topology is called the structure space of this ring.
