Weak-Injective Modules of Weak Dimension at Most One

We consider modules over integral domains R. A main purpose is to show that certain module properties assumed on R-modules of weak dimension ≤1 imply that these properties are shared by all modules in the category of R-modules.

Also we prove several results involving modules of weak dimension ≤1.     

h-Divisible Modules

Abstract

We investigate classes of h-divisible modules over domains and a class of domains over which every module has a divisible envelope.     

Auslander–Bridger Modules

Classically, the Auslander–Bridger transpose finds its best applications in the well-known setting of finitely presented modules over a semiperfect ring. We introduce a class of modules over an arbitrary ring R, which we call Auslander–Bridger modules, with the property that the Auslander–Bridger transpose induces a well-behaved bijection between isomorphism classes of Auslander–Bridger right R-modules and isomorphism classes of Auslander–Bridger left R-modules. Thus we generalize what happens for finitely presented modules over a semiperfect ring. Auslander–Bridger modules are characterized by two invariants (epi-isomorphism class and lower-isomorphism class), which are interchanged by the transpose. Via a suitable duality, we find that kernels of morphisms between injective modules of finite Goldie dimension are also characterized by two invariants (mono-isomorphism class and upper-isomorphism class).     

Injective and Projective Properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>[<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>]-Modules

We study whether the projective and injective properties of left R-modules can be implied to the special kind of left R[x]-modules, especially to the case of inverse polynomial modules and Laurent polynomial modules.     

Second representable modules over commutative rings*

Let R be a commutative ring. We investigate R-modules which can be written as finite sums of second R-submodules (we call them second representable). The class of second representable modules lies between the class of finitely generated semisimple modules and the class of representable modules; moreover, we give examples to show that these inclusions are strict even for Abelian groups. We provide sufficient conditions for an R-module M to be have a (minimal) second presentation, in particular within the class of lifting modules. Moreover, we investigate the class of (main) second attached prime ideals related to a module with such a presentation.     

Modules with the Direct Summand Sum Property

The present work gives some characterizations of R-modules with the direct summand sum property (in short DSSP), that is of those R-modules for which the sum of any two direct summands, so the submodule generated by their union, is a direct summand, too. General results and results concerning certain classes of R-modules (injective or projective) with this property, over several rings, are presented.     

t-Extending Modules and t-Baer Modules

We introduce the notions of “t-extending modules,” and “t-Baer modules,” which are generalizations of extending modules. The second notion is also a generalization of nonsingular Baer modules. We show that a homomorphic image (hence a direct summand) of a t-extending module and a direct summand of a t-Baer module inherits the property. It is shown that a module M is t-extending if and only if M is t-Baer and t-cononsingular. The rings for which every free right module is t-extending are called right Σ-t-extending. The class of right Σ-t-extending rings properly contains the class of right Σ-extending rings. Among other equivalent conditions for such rings, it is shown that a ring R is right Σ-t-extending, if and only if, every right R-module is t-extending, if and only if, every right R-module is t-Baer, if and only if, every nonsingular right R-module is projective. Moreover, it is proved that for a ring R, every free right R-module is t-Baer if and only if Z ₂(R _R ) is a direct summand of R and every submodule of a direct product of nonsingular projective R-modules is projective.     

On Weak Dual Rickart Modules and Dual Baer Modules

We introduce and study the notion of wd-Rickart modules (i.e. modules M such that for every nonzero endomorphism ? of M, the image of ? contains a nonzero direct summand of M). We show that the class of rings R for which every right R-module is wd-Rickart is exactly that of right semi-artinian right V-rings. We prove that a module M is dual Baer if and only if M is wd-Rickart and M has the strong summand sum property. Several structure results for some classes of wd-Rickart modules and dual Baer modules are provided. Some relevant counterexamples are indicated.     

Envelopes and Covers by Modules of Finite FP-Injective Dimensions

Let R be a ring, n a fixed non-negative integer and ? the class of all left R-modules of FP-injective dimensions at most n. It is proved that all left R-modules over a left coherent ring R have ?-preenvelopes and ?-covers. Left (right) ?-resolutions and the left derived functors of Hom are used to study the FP-injective dimensions of modules and rings.     

Cyclically Presented Modules Over Rings of Finite Type

A ring is of finite type if it has only finitely many maximal right ideals, all two-sided. In this article, we give a complete set of invariants for finite direct sums of cyclically presented modules over a ring R of finite type. More generally, our results apply to finite direct sums of direct summands of cyclically presented right R-modules (DCP modules). Using a duality, we obtain as an application a similar set of invariants for kernels of morphisms between finite direct sums of pair-wise non-isomorphic indecomposable injective modules over an arbitrary ring. This application motivates the study of DCP modules.     

Rings Over which the Krull Dimension and the Noetherian Dimension of All Modules Coincide

We denote by 𝒜(R) the class of all Artinian R-modules and by 𝒩(R) the class of all Noetherian R-modules. It is shown that 𝒜(R) ? 𝒩(R) (𝒩(R) ? 𝒜(R)) if and only if 𝒜(R/P) ? 𝒩(R/P) (𝒩(R/P) ? 𝒜(R/P)), for all centrally prime ideals P (i.e., ab ∈ P, a or b in the center of R, then a ∈ P or b ∈ P). Equivalently, if and only if 𝒜(R/P) ? 𝒩(R/P) (𝒩(R/P) ? 𝒜(R/P)) for all normal prime ideals P of R (i.e., ab ∈ P, a, b normalize R, then a ∈ P or b ∈ P). We observe that finitely embedded modules and Artinian modules coincide over Noetherian duo rings. Consequently, 𝒜(R) ? 𝒩(R) implies that 𝒩(R) = 𝒜(R), where R is a duo ring. For a ring R, we prove that 𝒩(R) = 𝒜(R) if and only if the coincidence in the title occurs. Finally, if Q is the quotient field of a discrete valuation domain R, it is shown that Q is the only R-module which is both α-atomic and β-critical for some ordinals α,β ≥ 1 and in fact α = β = 1.     

Modules which are extending relative to module classes

Given a ring Rand a class χ of right R-modules, a right R-module Mcan be an extending module relative to χ in two different ways. Various general properties of such extending modules are given and, in case of specific classes of R-modules, we characterize them.     

Structure of cohomology modules of linear bundles overG/B and weak ordering on the weyl group

We consider the cohomologyG-modules of linear bundles over the flag manifoldG/B over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. We study the structure of submodules of these modules and their homomorphisms. Translated fromMaternaticheskie Zametki, Vol. 62, No. 2, pp. 163–168, August, 1997. Translated by S. K. Lando     

Rings Over Which the Class of Gorenstein Flat Modules is Closed Under Extensions

A ring R is called left “GF-closed”, if the class of all Gorenstein flat left R-modules is closed under extensions. The class of left GF-closed rings includes strictly the one of right coherent rings and the one of rings of finite weak dimension.

In this article, we investigate the Gorenstein flat dimension over left GF-closed rings. Namely, we generalize the fact that the class of all Gorenstein flat left modules is projectively resolving over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Also, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat left modules (then of Gorenstein flat dimension of left modules) over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Finally, using direct products of rings, we show how to construct a left GF-closed ring that is neither right coherent nor of finite weak dimension.     

On the Regularity and Koszulness of Modules Over Local Rings

Koszul modules over Noetherian local rings R were introduced by Herzog and Iyengar and they possess good homological properties, for instance their Poincaré series is rational. It is an interesting problem to characterize classes of Koszul modules. Following the idea traced by Avramov, Iyengar, and Sega, we take advantage of the existence of special filtration on R for proving that large classes of R-modules over Koszul rings are Koszul modules. By using this tool we reprove and extend some results obtained by Fitzgerald.     

Completion of Modules over Serial, Right Noetherian Rings

Linear topology defined on an arbitrary right module over a right Noetherian serial ring R enables one to describe the reduced, pure injective R-modules as modules that are complete in this topology. With the use of the completion of modules, the pure injective envelope of any right R-module is constructed. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Radicals of <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis>-rings and special classes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis>-modules

A special class of lattice-ordered modules is studied. We show that for any special class of l-modules we can define a special class of l-rings. The special radical of an l-ring R can be represented as the intersection of the l-annihilators of l-modules over R belonging to the special class. The prime radical of an l-ring R can be represented as the intersection of the l-annihilators of l-prime l-modules over R.
