When automorphism-coinvariant modules are quasi-projective

In this paper we provide conditions under which automorphism-coinvariant modules over a right perfect ring are quasi-projective.     

Gorenstein injective envelopes and covers over two sided noetherian rings

We prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules is both enveloping and covering over a two sided noetherian ring such that the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat. In the second part of the paper we consider the connection between the Gorenstein injective modules and the strongly cotorsion modules. We prove that when the ring R is commutative noetherian of finite Krull dimension, the class of Gorenstein injective modules coincides with that of strongly cotorsion modules if and only if the ring R is in fact Gorenstein.     

McCoy modules and related modules over commutative rings

Let M be a left R-module. Then M is a McCoy (resp., dual McCoy) module if for nonzero f(X)∈R[X] and m(X)∈M[X], f(X)m(X) = 0 implies there exists a nonzero r∈R (resp., m∈M) with rm(X) = 0 (resp., f(X)m = 0). We show that for R commutative every R-module is dual McCoy, but give an example of a non-McCoy module. A number of other results concerning (dual) McCoy modules as well as arithmetical, Gaussian, and Armendariz modules are given.     

Representability of actions in the category of (Pre)crossed modules in Leibniz algebras

We investigate the representability of actions in the category of (pre)crossed modules in Leibniz algebras. For this, we construct an actor of a (pre)cat¹-Leibniz algebra and then by using the natural equivalence of the categories of (pre)cat¹-Leibniz algebras and that of (pre)crossed modules, we construct the split extension classifier of the corresponding (pre)crossed module.     

On the inheritance of the strongly π-extending property

In this article, we focus on modules with the property that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a fully invariant direct summand. In contrast to π-extending condition, it is shown that the former property is inherited by direct summands and Morita invariant. An application of our results yields that the endomorphism ring of a free module enjoys the property. Moreover, we characterize generalized triangular matrix rings with the aforementioned property and apply to somewhat special cases.     

Corrigendum to “New algebraic properties of an amalgamated algebra along an ideal”

At some point, after publication, we realized that Proposition 4.1(2) and Theorem 4.4 in [2 D’Anna, M., Finocchiaro, C. A., Fontana, M. (2016). New algebraic properties of an amalgamated algebra along an ideal. Commun. Algebra 44(5):1836–1851.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] hold under the assumption (not explicitly declared) that B = f(A)+J. Furthermore, we provide here the exact value for the embedding dimension of A?^fJ, also when B≠f(A)+J, under the hypothesis that J is finitely generated as an ideal of the ring f(A)+J.     

Torsion simple modules over the quantum spatial ageing algebra

Various classes of simple torsion modules are classified over the quantum spatial ageing algebra (this is a Noetherian algebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 4). Explicit constructions of these modules are given and for each module its annihilator is found.
