Left quotient rings of alternative rings

In this paper we develop a Fountain-Gould-like Goldie theory for alternative rings. We characterize alternative rings which are Fountain-Gould left orders in semiprime alternative rings coinciding with their socle, and those which are Fountain-Gould left orders in semiprime artininian alternative rings.
