Decomposition of injective modules relative to a torsion theory

IfR is a right noetherian ring, the decomposition of an injective module, as a direct sum of uniform submodules, is well known. Also, this property characterises this kind of ring. M. L. Teply obtains this result for torsion-free injective modules. The decomposition of injective modules relative to a torsion theory has been studied by S. Mohamed, S. Singh, K. Masaike and T. Horigone. In this paper our aim is to determine those rings satisfying that every torsion-freeτ-injective module is a direct sum ofτ-uniformτ-injective submodules and also to determine those rings with the same property for everyτ-injective module.     

Extending modules relative to a torsion theory

An R-module M is said to be an extending module if every closed submodule of M is a direct summand. In this paper we introduce and investigate the concept of a type 2 τ-extending module, where τ is a hereditary torsion theory on Mod-R. An R-module M is called type 2 τ-extending if every type 2 τ-closed submodule of M is a direct summand of M. If τ _I is the torsion theory on Mod-R corresponding to an idempotent ideal I of R and M is a type 2 τ _I -extending R-module, then the question of whether or not M/MI is an extending R/I-module is investigated. In particular, for the Goldie torsion theory τ _G we give an example of a module that is type 2 τ _G -extending but not extending.     

Semiartinian modules relative to a torsion theory

In the first section we generalize the concept of the socle of a module by replacing simples with τ-simple modules for a hereditary torsion theory τ. The second section is concerned with the τ-Loewy series, and finally these general results are applied in the section 3 to the notions of τ-semiartinian rings and modules.     

The structure of injective covers of special modules

In this paper, we prove that the injective cover of theR-moduleE(R/B)/R/B for a prime ideal B ofR is the direct sum of copies ofE(R/B) for prime ideals D ⊃ B, and if B is maximal, the injective cover is a finite sum of copies ofE(R/B). For a finitely generatedR-moduleM withn generators andG an injectiveR-module, we argue that the natural mapG ⁿ →G ⁿ/Hom _R (M, G) is an injective precover if Ext _R ¹ (M, R) = 0, and that the converse holds ifG is an injective cogenerator ofR. Consequently, for a maximal ideal R ofR, depth_R R ≧ 2 if and only if the natural mapE(R/R) →E(R/R)/R/R is an injective cover and depth_R R > 0.     

On the structure of indecomposable injective modules 1

For a ring R, the following two conditions are equivalent:.

(1) If E is an indecomposable injective right R-module, then End E_R is a field (not necesarily commutative).

(2) Every co-irreducible rigtht ideal is critical.

Since (2) has been characterized ideal-theoretically, this amounts to an ideal-theoretical characterization of (1). These rings come up to the study of (QI) rings in which every quasi-injective module is injective.     

On simple singular gp - injective modules

We investigate von Neumann regularity of rings whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. It is proved that a ring; R is strongly regular iff R is a weakly right duo ring whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. And it is also shown that R is either a strongly right bounded ring or a zero insertive ring in which every simple singular right R-module is GP-injective are reduced weakly regular rings. Several known results are unified and extended.
