On a class of semicommutative modules

Let R be a ring with identity, M a right R-module and S = End _R (M). In this note, we introduce S-semicommutative, S-Baer, S-q.-Baer and S-p.q.-Baer modules. We study the relations between these classes of modules. Also we prove if M is an S-semicommutative module, then M is an S-p.q.-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-p.q.-Baer module, M is an S-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-Baer module, M is an S-q.-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-q.-Baer module.     

Semiregular Modules with Respect to a Fully Invariant Submodule

Abstract

Let M be a left R-module and F a submodule of M for any ring R. We call M F-semiregular if for every x ∈ M, there exists a decomposition M = A ⊕ B such that A is projective, A ≤ Rx and Rx ∩ B ≤ F. This definition extends several notions in the literature. We investigate some equivalent conditions to F-semiregular modules and consider some certain fully invariant submodules such as Z(M), Soc(M), δ(M). We prove, among others, that if M is a finitely generated projective module, then M is quasi-injective if and only if M is Z(M)-semiregular and M ⊕ M is CS. If M is projective Soc(M)-semiregular module, then M is semiregular. We also characterize QF-rings R with J(R)² = 0.     

𝔏-Rickart Modules

It is well known that the Rickart property of rings is not a left-right symmetric property. We extend the notion of the left Rickart property of rings to a general module theoretic setting and define 𝔏-Rickart modules. We study this notion for a right R-module M _R where R is any ring and obtain its basic properties. While it is known that the endomorphism ring of a Rickart module is a right Rickart ring, we show that the endomorphism ring of an 𝔏-Rickart module is not a left Rickart ring in general. If M _R is a finitely generated 𝔏-Rickart module, we prove that End _R (M) is a left Rickart ring. We prove that an 𝔏-Rickart module with no set of infinitely many nonzero orthogonal idempotents in its endomorphism ring is a Baer module. 𝔏-Rickart modules are shown to satisfy a certain kind of nonsingularity which we term “endo-nonsingularity.” Among other results, we prove that M is endo-nonsingular and End _R (M) is a left extending ring iff M is a Baer module and End _R (M) is left cononsingular.     

Strongly Duo Modules and Rings

An R-module M is called strongly duo if Tr(N, M) = N for every N ≤ M _R . Several equivalent conditions to being strongly duo are given. If M _R is strongly duo and reduced, then End _R (M) is a strongly regular ring and the converse is true when R is a Dedekind domain and M _R is torsion. Over certain rings, nonsingular strongly duo modules are precisely regular duo modules. If R is a Dedekind domain, then M _R is strongly duo if and only if either M ≈ R or M _R is torsion and duo. Over a commutative ring, strongly duo modules are precisely pq-injective duo modules and every projective strongly duo module is a multiplication module. A ring R is called right strongly duo if R _R is strongly duo. Strongly regular rings are precisely reduced (right) strongly duo rings. A ring R is Noetherian and all of its factor rings are right strongly duo if and only if R is a serial Artinian right duo ring.     

Null ideals and spanning ranks of matrices,II

Suppose R is an integral domain and A ∈ M _{n × n}(R) \{O}. If D is a spanning rank partner of A, then precisely one of the following three relationships holds: N _A = N _D N _A = XN _D or XN _A = N _D. Here X is an indeterminate and N _A(N _D) denotes the null ideal of A(D) in R[X]. There are easy examples of A and D for which N _A = N _D and N _A = XN _D. In this paper, we give an example where XN _A = N _D. We give sharper versions of the theorem for n ≤ 4.     

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.     

Forcing Linearity Numbers for Modules over PID's

Let V be a module over a principal ideal domain. Then V = M N where M is divisible and N has no nonzero divisible submodules. In this paper we determine the forcing linearity number for V when N is a direct sum of cyclic modules. As a consequence, the forcing linearity numbers of several classes of Abelian groups are obtained.     

Degenerations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>[<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>]/(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis><Superscript>r</Superscript>)-Modules Giving Stratification of the Orbits

Let Λ be a finitely generated associative k-algebra where k is an algebraically closed field. For each natural number d, we have the variety of d-dimensional module structures on k^d given by the multiplication of the elements from a generating set of Λ. The general linear group Gl_d(k) acts on this variety by conjugation and the orbits under this action correspond to isomorphism classes of d-dimensional Λ-modules. For two d-dimensional Λ-modules M and N one says that M degenerates to N if the orbit corresponding to N is in the Zariski-closure of the orbit corresponding to M. Now in this situation the stabilizers of the elements in the orbit corresponding to N acts on the orbit corresponding to M. In this paper we characterize degenerations of k[t]/(t^r)-modules with the property that for each y in the orbit corresponding to N, there is an x_y in the orbit corresponding to M such that the orbit corresponding to M is the disjoint union of orbits of the x_y’s under the action of the stabilizer of y where y runs through the orbit corresponding to N.

T-Semisimple Modules and T-Semisimple Rings

We define and investigate t-semisimple modules as a generalization of semisimple modules. A module M is called t-semisimple if every submodule N contains a direct summand K of M such that K is t-essential in N. T-semisimple modules are Morita invariant and they form a strict subclass of t-extending modules. Many equivalent conditions for a module M to be t-semisimple are found. Accordingly, M is t-semisiple, if and only if, M = Z ₂(M) ⊕ S(M) (where Z ₂(M) is the Goldie torsion submodule and S(M) is the sum of nonsingular simple submodules). A ring R is called right t-semisimple if R _R is t-semisimple. Various characterizations of right t-semisimple rings are given. For some types of rings, conditions equivalent to being t-semisimple are found, and this property is investigated in terms of chain conditions.     

Generalization of Nilpotency of Ring Elements to Module Elements

We define nilpotent and strongly nilpotent elements of a module M and show that the set 𝒩 _s (M) of all strongly nilpotent elements of M over a commutative unital ring R coincides with the classical prime radical β _cl (M) the intersection of all classical prime submodules of M.     

ON Δ-GOOD MODULE CATEGORIES ARISING FROM HEREDITARY ALGEBRAS

Let A be a hereditary artin algebra and M a complete exceptional sequence over A. Let F(M) be the subcategory of A-mod consisting of modules with an M-filtration. A quasi-hereditary algebra is called e-quasi-hereditary provided that its Δ-good module category is equivalent to the category F(M) under an exact functor. A characterization of e-quasi-hereditary algebras is given, and a connection between the representation type of F(Δ) and the Tits form associated to it for some e-quasi-hereditary algebras is obtained in this paper.     

On Fully Idempotent Modules

A submodule N of a module M is idempotent if N = Hom(M, N)N. The module M is fully idempotent if every submodule of M is idempotent. We prove that over a commutative ring, cyclic idempotent submodules of any module are direct summands. Counterexamples are given to show that this result is not true in general. It is shown that over commutative Noetherian rings, the fully idempotent modules are precisely the semisimple modules. We also show that the commutative rings over which every module is fully idempotent are exactly the semisimple rings. Idempotent submodules of free modules are characterized.     

On the Countability of Noetherian Dimension of Modules

Abstract

It is shown that a module M has countable Noetherian dimension if and only if the lengths of ascending chains of submodules of M has a countable upper bound. This shows in particular that every submodule of a module with countable Noetherian dimension is countably generated. It is proved that modules with Noetherian dimension over locally Noetherian rings have countable Noetherian dimension. We also observe that ω^ω is a universal upper bound for the lengths of all chains in Artinian modules over commutative rings.     

On Dedekind Modules

In this article the authors give the relation between a finitely-generated torsionfree Dedekind module M over a domain R and prime submodules of the 𝒪(M)-module M and the ring 𝒪(M). They also prove that M is a finitely-generated torsionfree Dedekind module over a domain R if and only if every semi-maximal submodule of R-module M is invertible.     

Pure Submodules of Finite Direct Sums of Co-Purely Indecomposable Modules

A torsion-free module M of finite rank over a discrete valuation ring R with prime p is co-purely indecomposable if M is indecomposable and rank M = 1 + dim _R/pR (M/pM). Co-purely indecomposable modules are duals of pure finite rank submodules of the p-adic completion of R. Pure submodules of cpi-decomposable modules (finite direct sums of co-purely indecomposable modules) are characterized. Included are various examples and properties of these modules.     

Equivalence of quotient Hilbert modules

LetM be a Hilbert module of holomorphic functions over a natural function algebraA(Ω), where Ω ⊆ ℂ ^m is a bounded domain. LetM ₀ ⊆M be the submodule of functions vanishing to orderk on a hypersurfaceZ ⊆ Ω. We describe a method, which in principle may be used, to construct a set of complete unitary invariants for quotient modulesQ =M ⊖M ₀ The invariants are given explicitly in the particular case ofk = 2.
