Summary:
Let $G$ be a multiplicative monoid. If $RG$ is a non-singular ring such that the class of all non-singular $RG$-modules is a cover class, then the class of all non-singular $R$-modules is a cover class. These two conditions are equivalent whenever $G$ is a well-ordered cancellative monoid such that for all elements $g,h\in G$ with $g < h$ there is $l\in G$ such that $lg = h$. For a totally ordered cancellative monoid the equalities $Z(RG) = Z(R)G$ and $\sigma (RG) = \sigma (R)G$ hold, $\sigma$ being Goldie’s torsion theory.
