Sequentially Cohen-Macaulay Modules Under Base Change

ABSTRACT

Assume that ?:(R, ± 𝔪) → (S, ± 𝔫) is a local flat homomorphism between commutative Noetherian local rings R and S. Let M be a finitely generated R-module. We investigate the ascent and descent of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay properties between the R-module M and the S-module M ? _R  S.     

Relative Flatness,Mittag–Leffler Modules,and Endocoherence

Let M _R be a right R-module over a ring R with S = End(M _R ). We study the coherence of the left S-module _S M relative to a hereditary torsion theory for the category of right R-modules. Various results are developed, many extending known results.     

Correspondences of Coclosed Submodules

We establish an order-preserving bijective correspondence between the sets of coclosed elements of some bounded lattices related by suitable Galois connections. As an application, we deduce that if M is a finitely generated quasi-projective left R-module with S = End _R (M) and N is an M-generated left R-module, then there exists an order-preserving bijective correspondence between the sets of coclosed left R-submodules of N and coclosed left S-submodules of Hom _R (M, N).     

A Note on Relative Flatness and Coherence

Let R be a ring and M a fixed right R-module. A new characterization of M-flatness is given by certain linear equations. For a left R-module F such that the canonical map M? _R F → Hom _R (M?, F) is injective, where M? = Hom _R (M, R), the M-flatness of F is characterized via certain matrix subgroups. An example is given to show that R need not be M-coherent even if every left R-module is M-flat. Moreover, some properties of M-coherent rings are discussed.     

Über Die Assoziierten Primideale des Bidualen

Let (R, 𝔪) be a commutative, noetherian, local ring, E the injective hull of the residue field R/𝔪, and M ^○○ = Hom _R (Hom _R (M, E), E) the bidual of an R-module M. We investigate the elements of Ass(M ^○○) as well as those of Coatt(M) = {𝔭 ∈ Spec(R)|𝔭 = Ann _R (Ann _M (𝔭))} and provide criteria for equality in one of the two inclusions Ass(M) ? Ass(M ^○○) ? Coatt(M). If R is a Nagata ring and M a minimax module, i.e., an extension of a finitely generated R-module by an artinian R-module, we show that Ass(M ^○○) = Ass(M) ∪ {𝔭 ∈ Coatt(M)| R/𝔭 is incomplete}.     

Rings with Zassenhaus Families of Ideals

Let R be a ring with identity. We call a family ? of left ideals of R a Zassenhaus family if the only additive endomorphisms of R that leave all members of ? invariant are the left multiplications by elements of R. Moreover, if R is torsion-free and there is some left R-module M such that R ? M ? R?_?? and End _?(M) = R we call R a “Zassenhaus ring”. It is well known that all Zassenhaus rings have Zassenhaus families. We will give examples to show that the converse does not hold even for torsion-free rings of finite rank.     

Properties of Modules and Rings Relative to Some Matrices

Let R be a ring and  _β×α(R) (?   _β×α(R)) the set of all β × α full (row finite) matrices over R where α and β ≥ 1 are two cardinal numbers. A left R-module M is said to be “injective relative” to a matrix A ? ?   _β×α(R) if every R-homomorphism from R ^(β) A to M extends to one from R ^(α) to M. It is proved that M is injective relative to A if and only if it is A-pure in every module which contains M as a submodule. A right R-module N is called flat relative to a matrix A ?  _β×α(R) if the canonical map μ: N? R ^(β) A → N ^α is a monomorphism. This extends the notion of (m, n)-flat modules so that n-projectivity, finitely projectivity, and τ-flatness can be redefined in terms of flatness relative to certain matrices. R is called left coherent relative to a matrix A ?  _β×α(R) if R ^(β) A is a left R-ML module. Some results on τ-coherent rings and (m, n)-coherent rings are extended.     

On ADS Modules and Rings

A right module M over a ring R is said to be ADS if for every decomposition M = S ⊕ T and every complement T′ of S, we have M = S ⊕ T′. In this article, we study and provide several new characterizations of this new class of modules. We prove that M is semisimple if and only if every module in σ[M] is ADS. SC and SI rings also characterized by the ADS notion. A ring R is right SC-ring if and only if every 2-generated singular R-module is ADS.     

Annihilator Ideal-Based Zero-Divisor Graphs Over Multiplication Modules

For a commutative ring R with identity, an ideal-based zero-divisor graph, denoted by Γ _I (R), is the graph whose vertices are {x ∈ R?I | xy ∈ I for some y ∈ R?I}, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy ∈ I. In this article, we investigate an annihilator ideal-based zero-divisor graph by replacing the ideal I with the annihilator ideal Ann(M) for a multiplication R-module M. Based on the above-mentioned definition, we examine some properties of an R-module over a von Neumann regular ring, and the cardinality of an R-module associated with Γ _Ann(M)(R).     

On Divisible and Torsionfree Modules

A ring R is called left P-coherent in case each principal left ideal of R is finitely presented. A left R-module M (resp. right R-module N) is called D-injective (resp. D-flat) if Ext¹(G, M) = 0 (resp. Tor₁(N, G) = 0) for every divisible left R-module G. It is shown that every left R-module over a left P-coherent ring R has a divisible cover; a left R-module M is D-injective if and only if M is the kernel of a divisible precover A → B with A injective; a finitely presented right R-module L over a left P-coherent ring R is D-flat if and only if L is the cokernel of a torsionfree preenvelope K → F with F flat. We also study the divisible and torsionfree dimensions of modules and rings. As applications, some new characterizations of von Neumann regular rings and PP rings are given.     

Simple-Direct-Projective Modules

In this paper, we introduce and study the dual notion of simple-direct-injective modules. Namely, a right R-module M is called simple-direct-projective if, whenever A and B are submodules of M with B simple and M/A ? B ?^⊕M, then A ?^⊕M. Several characterizations of simple-direct-projective modules are provided and used to describe some well-known classes of rings. For example, it is shown that a ring R is artinian and serial with J²(R) = 0 if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R-module is quasi-projective if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R -module is a D3-module. It is also shown that a ring R is uniserial with J²(R) = 0 if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R-module is a C3-module if and only if every simple-direct-injective right R -module is a D3-module.     

Mod-Retractable Rings

A right module M over a ring R is said to be retractable if Hom _R (M, N) ≠ 0 for each nonzero submodule N of M. We show that M ? _R RG is a retractable RG-module if and only if M _R is retractable for every finite group G. The ring R is (finitely) mod-retractable if every (finitely generated) right R-module is retractable. Some comparisons between max rings, semiartinian rings, perfect rings, noetherian rings, nonsingular rings, and mod-retractable rings are investigated. In particular, we prove ring-theoretical criteria of right mod-retractability for classes of all commutative, left perfect, and right noetherian rings.     

Characterization of Quasi-Coherent Modules that are Module Schemes

Let R be a commutative ring with unit, and let E be an R-module. We say the functor of R-modules E, defined by E(B) = E ? _R B, is a quasi-coherent R-module, and its dual E* is an R-module scheme. Both types of R-module functors are essential for the development of the theory of the linear representations of an affine R-group. We prove that a quasi-coherent R-module E is an R-module scheme if and only if E is a projective R-module of finite type, and, as a consequence, we also characterize finitely generated projective R-modules.     

Relative Projective Modules and Relative Injective Modules

Let R be a ring, and n and d fixed non-negative integers. An R-module M is called (n, d)-injective if Ext ^d+1 _R (P, M) = 0 for any n-presented R-module P. M is said to be (n, d)-projective if Ext¹ _R (M, N) = 0 for any (n, d)-injective R-module N. We use these concepts to characterize n-coherent rings and (n, d)-rings. Some known results are extended.     

Some Examples in the Theory of Factorization in Integral Domains

Let R be a UFD, S a subring of R and P be a nonzero commom ideal of R and S such that (i) R/P is a torsion-free S/P-module, (ii) if x,y ? S\P and c ? R with y = cx then c ? S. In this note we study the factorization properties of such subrings and thereby obtain some examples.     

D3-Modules

A right R-module M is called a D3-module, if M ₁ and M ₂ are direct summands of M with M = M ₁ + M ₂, then M ₁ ∩ M ₂ is a direct summand of M. Following the work of Bass on projective covers, we introduce the notion of D3-covers and provide new characterizations of several well-known classes of rings in terms of D3-modules and D3-covers.     

Coherent Rings and Gorenstein FP-Injective Modules

In this article, Gorenstein FP-injective modules are introduced and investigated. A left R-module M is called Gorenstein FP-injective if there is an exact sequence … → E ₁ → E ₀ → E ⁰ → E ¹ → … of FP-injective left R-modules with M = ker(E ⁰ → E ¹) such that Hom _R (P, ?) leaves the sequence exact whenever P is a finitely presented left R-module with pd _R (P) < ∞. Some properties of Gorenstein FP-injective modules are obtained. Several well-known classes of rings are characterized in terms of Gorenstein FP-injective modules.     

On finitely generated module whose first nonzero fitting ideal is maximal

Let R be a Noetherian ring and M be a finitely generated R-module. Let I(M) be the first nonzero Fitting ideal of M. The main result of this paper asserts that when I(M) = Q is a regular maximal ideal of R, then M?R∕Q⊕P, for some projective R-module P of constant rank if and only if T(M)?QM. As a consequence, it is shown that if M is an Artinian R-module and I(M) = Q is a regular maximal ideal of R, then M?R∕Q.
