Isomorphism of a Ring to the Endomorphism Ring of an Abelian Group

This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions under which isomorphism of endomorphism rings of additive groups of arbitrary associative rings with 1 implies isomorphism of these rings. For a certain class of Abelian groups, we present a criterion which shows when isomorphism of their endomorphism rings implies isomorphism of these groups. We demonstrate necessary and sufficient conditions under which an arbitrary ring is the endomorphism ring of an Abelian group. This solves Problem 84 in L. Fuchs’ “Infinite Abelian Groups.”__________Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 231–234, 2003.     

Abelian Groups with Annihilator Ideals of Endomorphism Rings

We describe the periodic groups whose endomorphism rings satisfy the annihilator condition for the principal left ideals generated by nilpotent elements. We prove that torsion-free reduced separable, vector, and algebraically compact groups have endomorphism rings with the annihilator condition for the principal left (right) ideals generated by nilpotent elements if and only if these rings are commutative. We show that the almost injective groups (in the sense of Harada) are injective, i.e. divisible.     

Rickart Modules

The concept of right Rickart rings (or right p.p. rings) has been extensively studied in the literature. In this article, we study the notion of Rickart modules in the general module theoretic setting by utilizing the endomorphism ring of a module. We provide several characterizations of Rickart modules and study their properties. It is shown that the class of rings R for which every right R-module is Rickart is precisely that of semisimple artinian rings, while the class of rings R for which every free R-module is Rickart is precisely that of right hereditary rings. Connections between a Rickart module and its endomorphism ring are studied. A characterization of precisely when the endomorphism ring of a Rickart module will be a right Rickart ring is provided. We prove that a Rickart module with no infinite set of nonzero orthogonal idempotents in its endomorphism ring is precisely a Baer module. We show that a finitely generated module over a principal ideal domain (PID) is Rickart exactly if it is either semisimple or torsion-free. Examples which delineate the concepts and results are provided.     

On Purity and Quasiequality of Abelian Groups

We study the Cohn purity in an abelian group regarded as a left module over its endomorphism ring. We prove that if a finite rank torsion-free abelian group G is quasiequal to a direct sum in which all summands are purely simple modules over their endomorphism rings then the module _E(G) G is purely semisimple. This theorem makes it possible to construct abelian groups of any finite rank which are purely semisimple over their endomorphism rings and it reduces the problem of endopure semisimplicity of abelian groups to the same problem in the class of strongly indecomposable abelian groups.     

The Krull-Schmidt Theorem in the Case Two

We study what happens if, in the Krull-Schmidt Theorem, instead of considering modules whose endomorphism rings have one maximal ideal, we consider modules whose endomorphism rings have two maximal ideals. If a ring has exactly two maximal right ideals, then the two maximal right ideals are necessarily two-sided. We call such a ring of type 2. The behavior of direct sums of finitely many modules whose endomorphism rings have type 2 is completely described by a graph whose connected components are either complete graphs or complete bipartite graphs. The vertices of the graphs are ideals in a suitable full subcategory of Mod-R. The edges are isomorphism classes of modules. The complete bipartite graphs give rise to a behavior described by a Weak Krull-Schmidt Theorem. Such a behavior had been previously studied for the classes of uniserial modules, biuniform modules, cyclically presented modules over a local ring, kernels of morphisms between indecomposable injective modules, and couniformly presented modules. All these modules have endomorphism rings that are either local or of type 2. Here we present a general theory that includes all these cases.     

Dualities between Almost Completely Decomposable Groups and their Endomorphism Rings

We prove that endomorphism rings of nearly isomorphic, almost completely decomposable groups of ring type are also nearly isomorphic as additive structures. On this basis, acd groups can be considered in a dual connection with their endomorphism rings. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 13, Algebra, 2004.     

Nil-clean matrix rings

We characterize the nil-clean matrix rings over fields. As a by product, we obtain a complete characterization of the finite rank Abelian groups with nil-clean endomorphism ring and the Abelian groups with strongly nil-clean endomorphism ring, respectively.     

Local Morphisms and Modules with a Semilocal Endomorphism Ring

We study local morphisms in the setting of general noncommutative rings. In particular, we apply local morphisms to study endomorphism rings of modules. We use our constructions to determine classes of modules with semilocal endomorphism rings. For instance, we prove that every finitely presented right module over a semilocal ring has a semilocal endomorphism ring.Alberto Facchini was partially supported by Gruppo Nazionale Strutture Algebriche e Geometriche e loro Applicazioni of Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica, Italy, and by Università di Padova (Progetto di Ateneo CDPA048343 “Decomposition and tilting theory in modules, derived and cluster categories”).Dolors Herbera was partially supported by the DGI and the European Regional Development Fund, jointly, through Project BFM2002-01390, and by the Comissionat per Universitats i Recerca of the Generalitat de Catalunya.     

Caractérisation de certaines classes d'anneaux par des propriétés des endomorphismes de leurs modules

The aim of this paper is to study some classes of rings whose all modules have endomorphism rings with properties “similar” to those of the endomorphism rings of vector spaces.     

Modules with a“nice”endomorphism ring and a new characterization of semisimple modules and rings

In this work we introduce some classes of modules whose endomorphism rings have some of the properties of the endomorphism rings of vector spaces. Then we apply these notions to obtain new characterizations of semisimple rings and modules.     

On semilocal rings

We give several characterizations of semilocal rings and deduce that rationally closed subrings of semisimple artinian rings are semilocal, that artinian modules have semilocal endomorphism rings, and that artinian modules cancel from direct sums. Dedicated to the memory of Pere Menal     

Cluster structures from 2-Calabi–Yau categories with loops

We generalise the notion of cluster structures from the work of Buan–Iyama–Reiten–Scott to include situations where the endomorphism rings of the clusters may have loops. We show that in a Hom-finite 2-Calabi–Yau category, the set of maximal rigid objects satisfies these axioms whenever there are no 2-cycles in the quivers of their endomorphism rings. We apply this result to the cluster category of a tube, and show that this category forms a good model for the combinatorics of a type B cluster algebra.     

Torsion-complete and algebraically compact groups with compact endomorphism rings

We give a complete characterization of torsion-complete and algebraically compact abelian groups whose endomorphism rings admit a compact ring topology.     

Anti-isomorphisms of graded endomorphism rings of graded modules close to free ones

We obtain criteria that answer the question of when an anti-isomorphism of graded endomorphism rings of the strict gr-generators is induced by a graded Morita anti-equivalence or a graded anti-semilinear isomorphism.     

On Pierce Problem for Reduced <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Groups

One of the problems in the study of Abelian groups and their endomorphism rings is the problem of constructing an appropriate structural theory. The structural theorems obtained for Abelian groups and their endomorphism rings allowto reduce the study of complex objects to simpler ones. A radical is one of the tools possessing this property. In this paper, we describe the Jacobson radical of the endomorphism rings of reduced p-groups from some class, which is a solution to the Pierce problem for this class of groups.

Homogeneous maps of Abelian groups

In this paper we study Abelian groups whose homogeneous maps to other Abelian groups are homomorphisms. We consider these groups as modules over the ring of integers and over their endomorphism rings. We also study related issues.
