A note on three artinian rings

A module over an artinian ring is uniserial if it has a unique composition series, and an artinian ring is serial if each of its indecomposable projective modules is uniserial. Fuller [4, Theorem 5.4] showed that an artinian ring R is serial if and only if each of left indecomposable projective and injective R-modules is uniserial. The following question was raised in 4, p.134: Is an artinian ring R necessarily serial if each of its indecomposable injective modules is uniserial? Example 1 in this note answers this question in the negative     

Regular semiartinian rings

We study the structure of rings over which every right module is an essential extension of a semisimple module by an injective one. A ring R is called a right max-ring if every nonzero right R-module has a maximal submodule. We describe normal regular semiartinian rings whose endomorphism ring of the minimal injective cogenerator is a max-ring.     

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.     

Quasi Co-Hopfian Modules and Applications

We carry out an extensive study of modules M _R with the property that M/f(M) is singular for all injective endomorphisms f of M. Such modules called “quasi co-Hopfian”, generalize co-Hopfian modules. It is shown that a ring R is semisimple if and only if every quasi co-Hopfian R-module is co-Hopfian. Every module contains a unique largest fully invariant quasi co-Hopfian submodule. This submodule is determined for some modules including the semisimple ones. Over right nonsingular rings several equivalent conditions to being quasi co-Hopfian are given. Modules with all submodules quasi co-Hopfian are called “completely quasi co-Hopfian” (cqcH). Over right nonsingular rings and over certain right Noetherian rings, it is proved that every finite reduced rank module is cqcH. For a right nonsingular ring which is right semi-Artinian (resp. right FBN) the class of cqcH modules is the same as the class of finite reduced rank modules if and only if there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of nonsingular R-modules which are simple (resp. indecomposable injective).

Rugged modules: The opposite of flatness

Relative notions of flatness are introduced as a mean to gauge the extent of the flatness of any given module. Every module is thus endowed with a flatness domain and, for every ring, the collection of flatness domains of all of its modules is a lattice with respect to class inclusion. This lattice, the flatness profile of the ring, allows us, in particular, to focus on modules which have a smallest flatness domain (namely, one consisting of all regular modules.) We establish that such modules exist over arbitrary rings and we call them Rugged Modules. Rings all of whose (cyclic) modules are rugged are shown to be precisely the von Neumann regular rings. We consider rings without a flatness middle class (i.e., rings for which modules must be either flat or rugged.) We obtain that, over a right Noetherian ring every left module is rugged or flat if and only if every right module is poor or injective if and only if R = S×T, where S is semisimple Artinian and T is either Morita equivalent to a right PCI-domain, or T is right Artinian whose Jacobson radical properly contains no nonzero ideals. Character modules serve to bridge results about flatness and injectivity profiles; in particular, connections between rugged and poor modules are explored. If R is a ring whose regular left modules are semisimple, then a right module M is rugged if and only if its character left module M⁺ is poor. Rugged Abelian groups are fully characterized and shown to coincide precisely with injectively poor and projectively poor Abelian groups. Also, in order to get a feel for the class of rugged modules over an arbitrary ring, we consider the homological ubiquity of rugged modules in the category of all modules in terms of the feasibility of rugged precovers and covers for arbitrary modules.     

Supplement Submodules of Injective Modules

An R-module M is called almost injective if M is a supplement submodule of every module which contains M. The module M is called F-almost injective if every factor module of M is almost injective. It is shown that a ring R is a right H-ring if and only if R is right perfect and every almost injective module is injective. We prove that a ring R is semisimple if and only if the R-module R _R is F-almost injective.     

On a class of non-noetherian V-ring

Right V-rings R with infinitely generated right socle SOC(R_R) such that R/SOC(R_R) is a division ring are characterized as those non-noetherian rings over which a cyclic right module is either non-singular or injective. Furthermore, it is shown that a non-noetherian, right V-ring S is Morita-equivalent to a ring of this type iff all singular simple right S-modules are isomorphic and every direct sum of uniform modules with an injective module over S is extending.     

On Some Artinian QF-3 Rings

Carl Faith in 2003 introduced and investigated an interesting class of rings over which every cyclic right module has Σ-injective injective hull (abbr., right CSI-rings) [5 Faith , C. ( 2003 ). When cyclic modules have Σ-injective hulls . Comm. Algebra 13 : 4161 – 4173 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. Inspired by this we investigate rings over which every cyclic right R-module has a projective Σ-injective injective hull. We show that a ring R satisfies this condition if and only if R is right artinian, the injective hull of R _R is projective and every simple right R-module is embedded in R _R . We also characterize right artinian rings in terms of injective faithful right ideals and right CSI-rings.     

Preinjective modules and finite representation type of artinian rings

Let R be a left artinian ring such that every finitely presented right .ft-module is of finite endolength. It is shown that the cardinality of the set of isomorphism classes of preinjective right R-modules is less than or equal to the cardinality of the set of isomorphism classes of preprojective left R-modules, and R is of finite representation type if and only if these cardinal numbers are finite and equal to each other. As a consequence, we deduce a theorem, due to Herzog [17], asserting that a left pure semisimple ring R is of finite representation type if and only if the number of non-isomorphic preinjective right R-modules is the same as the number of non-isomorphic preprojective left .R-modules. Further applications are also given to provide new criteria for artinian rings with self-duality and artinian Pi-rings to be of finite representation type, which imply in particular the validity of the pure semisimple conjecture for these classes of rings.     

ON SOME PROPERTIES OF IF RINGS

Abstract

We show that left IF rings (rings such that every injective left module is flat) have certain regular-like properties. For instance, we prove that every left IF reduced ring is strongly regular. We also give characterizations of (left and right) IF rings. In particular, we show that a ring R is IF if and only if every finitely generated left (and right) ideal is the annihilator of a finite subset of R.

RD-Flatness and RD-Injectivity

It is proven that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are Σ-RD- injective is the product of a pure semisimple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each Artinian (respectively simple) module is RD-injective, is given. These rescan be obtained by using the properties of RD-flat modules and RD-coflat modules which are respectively the RD-relativization of flat modules and fp-injective modules. It is also shown that a commutative ring is perfect if and only if each RD-flat module is RD-projective.

On the exactness of flat resolvents

Let R be a left coherent ring, FP — idRR the FP — injective dimension of RR and wD(R) the weak global dimension of R. It is shown that 1) FP -idRR < n ( n > 0) if and only if every flat resolvent 0 → M → F° → F¹... of a finitely presented right R—module M is exact at F'(i > n?1) if and only if every nth F -cosyzygy of a finitely presented right R — module has a flat preenvelope which is a monomorphism; 2) wD(R) < n (n > 1) if and only if every (n?l)th F-cosyzygy of a finitely presented right R—module has a flat preenvelope which is an epimorphism; 3) wD(R) 0) if and only if every nth F — cosyzygy of a finitely presented right R — module is flat. In particular, left FC rings and left semihereditary rings are characterized     

Rings whose cyclic modules are lifting and ⊕-supplemented

It is proved that a semiperfect module is lifting if and only if it has a projective cover preserving direct summands. Three corollaries are obtained: (1) every cyclic module over a ring R is lifting if and only if every cyclic R-module has a projective cover preserving direct summands; (2) a ring R is artinian serial with Jacobson radical square-zero if and only if every (2-generated) R-module has a projective cover preserving direct summands; (3) a ring R is a right (semi-)perfect ring if and only if (cyclic) lifting R-module has a projective cover preserving direct summands, if and only if every (cyclic) R-module having a projective cover preserving direct summands is lifting. It is also proved that every cyclic module over a ring R is ⊕-supplemented if and only if every cyclic R-module is a direct sum of local modules. Consequently, a ring R is artinian serial if and only if every left and right R-module is a direct sum of local modules.     

When Cyclic Modules Have Σ-Injective Hulls

Abstract

A theorem of Cartan-Eilenberg (Cartan, H., Eilenberg, S. (1956). Homological Algebra. Princeton: Princeton University Press, pp. 390.) states that a ring Ris right Noetherian iff every injective right module is Σ-incentive. The purpose of this paper is to study rings with the property, called right CSI, that, all cyclic right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls, i.e., injective hulls of cyclic right R-modules are Σ-injective. In this case, all finitely generated right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls, and this implies that Ris right Noetherian for a lengthy list of rings, most notably, for Rcommutative, or when Rhas at most finitely many simple right R-modules, e.g., when Ris semilocal. Whether all right CSIrings are Noetherian is an open question. However, if in addition, R/rad Ris either right Kasch or von Neuman regular (=VNR), or if all countably generated (sermisimple) right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls then the answer is affirmative. (See Theorem A.) We also prove the dual theorems for Δ-injective modules.
