On noncommutative piecewise Noetherian rings

We extend the definition of a piecewise Noetherian ring to the noncommutative case, and investigate various properties of such rings. In particular, we show that a ring with Krull dimension is piecewise Noetherian. Certain fully bounded piecewise Noetherian rings have Gabriel dimension and exhibit the Gabriel correspondence between prime ideals and indecomposable injective modules.     

Gorenstein Injective and Gorenstein Flat Resolution of Modules Over Gorenstein Rings

Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. There are several characterizations of Gorenstein rings in terms of classical homological dimensions of their modules. In this paper, we use Gorenstein dimensions (Gorenstein injective and Gorenstein flat dimension) to describe Gorenstein rings. Moreover a characterization of Gorenstein injective (resp. Gorenstein flat) modules over Gorenstein rings is given in terms of their Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein injective) resolutions.     

Restricted Homological Dimensions of Complexes

We define and study the notions of restricted Tor-dimension and Ext-dimension for unbounded complexes of left modules over associative rings. We show that, for a right (respectively, left) homologically bounded complex, our definition agrees with the small restricted flat (respectively, injective) dimension defined by Christensen et al. Furthermore, we show that the restricted Tor-dimension defined in this paper is a refinement of the Gorenstein flat dimension of an unbounded complex in some sense. In addition, we give some results concerning restricted homological dimensions under a base change over commutative Noetherian rings.     

Locally Stable Grothendieck Categories: Applications

We introduce for any Grothendieck category the notion of stable localizing subcategory, as a localizing subcategory that can be written as an intersection of localizing subcategories defined by indecomposable injectives. A Grothendieck category in which every localizing subcategory is stable is called a locally stable category. As a main result we give a characterization of these categories in terms of the local stability of a localizing subcategory and its quotient category. The locally coirreducible categories (in particular, the categories with Gabriel dimension) and the locally noetherian categories are examples of locally stable categories. We also present some applications to the category of modules over a left fully bounded noetherian ring, to the category of comodules over a coalgebra and to the category of modules over graded rings.     

A characterization of modules locally of finite injective dimension

In this note, we characterize finite modules locally of finite injective dimension over commutative Noetherian rings in terms of vanishing of Ext modules.

     

Injectivity of Direct Sums

It is a well-known result that the direct sum of any family of injective modules over a Noetherian ring is injective. Conversely, if A is a ring with the property that the direct sum of any family of injective modules is injective H. Bass [1] has shown that A is Noetherian. The object of the present paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the direct sum of a given family of modules over an arbitrary ring to be injective.     

Noetherian rings with almost injective simple modules

We characterize right Noetherian rings over which all simple modules are almost injective. It is proved that R is such a ring, if and only if, the complements of semisimple submodules of every R-module M are direct summands of M, if and only if, R is a finite direct sum of right ideals I_r, where I_r is either a Noetherian V-module with zero socle, or a simple module, or an injective module of length 2. A commutative Noetherian ring for which all simple modules are almost injective is precisely a finite direct product of rings R_i, where R_i is either a field or a quasi-Frobenius ring of length 2. We show that for commutative rings whose all simple modules are almost injective, the properties of Kasch, (semi)perfect, semilocal, quasi-Frobenius, Artinian, and Noetherian coincide.

Conjugacy of idempotents in jordan pairs

The injectives in the category of associative rings and homomorphisms with accessible images are investigated.It is shown that every such ring has an identity and is a direct sum of finitely many indecomposable injectives.The indecomposable injectives are shown to be simple when they are algebras over fields other than Z_p and in the remaining characteristic p case to have only three ideals.A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for certain finite direct sums of indecomposable injectives to be injective.     

Injective modules and semistar operations

We approach the problem of classifying injective modules over an integral domain, by considering the class of semistar Noetherian domains. When working with such domains, one has to focus on semistar ideals: as a consequence for modules, we restrict our study to the class of injective hulls of co-semistar modules, those in which the annihilator ideal of each nonzero element is semistar. We obtain a complete classification of this class, by describing its elements as injective hulls of uniquely determined direct sums of indecomposable injective modules; if moreover, we consider stable semistar operations, then we can further improve this result, obtaining a natural generalization of the classical Noetherian case. Our approach provides a unified treatment of results on injective modules over various kinds of domains obtained by Matlis, Cailleau, Beck, Fuchs and Kim–Kim–Park.

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.     

Relative syzygies and grade of modules

Recently, Takahashi established a new approximation theory for finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian rings, which unifies the spherical approximation theorem due to Auslander and Bridger and the Cohen-Macaulay approximation theorem due to Auslander and Buchweitz. In this paper we generalize these results to much more general case over non-commutative rings. As an application, we establish a relation between the injective dimension of a generalized tilting module ω and the finitistic dimension with respect to ω.     

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).     

Strong Krull primes and flat modules

There are several theorems describing the intricate relationship between flatness and associated primes over commutative Noetherian rings. However, associated primes are known to act badly over non-Noetherian rings, so one needs a suitable replacement. In this paper, we show that the behavior of strong Krull primes most closely resembles that of associated primes over a Noetherian ring. We prove an analogue of a theorem of Epstein and Yao characterizing flat modules in terms of associated primes by replacing them with strong Krull primes. Also, we partly generalize a classical equational theorem regarding flat base change and associated primes in Noetherian rings. That is, when associated primes are replaced by strong Krull primes, we show containment in general and equality in many special cases. One application is of interest over any Noetherian ring of prime characteristic. We also give numerous examples to show that our results fail if other popular generalizations of associated primes are used in place of strong Krull primes.     

On the artinianness of the local homology modules

In [9] a local homology theory for Artinian modules over commutative rings, which is dual to the local cohomology theory for Noetherian modules, introduced and in [1] the main result of [9] extended. In this note we prove that the local homology modules of an Artinian module over a commutative ring (with identity) are Artinian.     

The Krull-Schmidt Theorem in the Case Two

We study what happens if, in the Krull-Schmidt Theorem, instead of considering modules whose endomorphism rings have one maximal ideal, we consider modules whose endomorphism rings have two maximal ideals. If a ring has exactly two maximal right ideals, then the two maximal right ideals are necessarily two-sided. We call such a ring of type 2. The behavior of direct sums of finitely many modules whose endomorphism rings have type 2 is completely described by a graph whose connected components are either complete graphs or complete bipartite graphs. The vertices of the graphs are ideals in a suitable full subcategory of Mod-R. The edges are isomorphism classes of modules. The complete bipartite graphs give rise to a behavior described by a Weak Krull-Schmidt Theorem. Such a behavior had been previously studied for the classes of uniserial modules, biuniform modules, cyclically presented modules over a local ring, kernels of morphisms between indecomposable injective modules, and couniformly presented modules. All these modules have endomorphism rings that are either local or of type 2. Here we present a general theory that includes all these cases.     

Direct sums of injective semimodules and direct products of projective semimodules over semirings

We prove that if the direct sum of a family of semimodules over a semiring S is an injective semimodule or if the direct product of a family of semimodules over S is a projective semimodule, then the cardinality of the subfamily consisting of all semimodules which are not modules is strictly less than the cardinality of S. As a consequence, we obtain semiring analogs of well-known characterizations of classical semisimple, quasi-Frobenius, and one-sided Noetherian rings.     

A generalization of right pci rings

By a well-known result of Osofsky [6, Theorem] a ring R is semisimple (i.e. R is right artinian and the Jacobson radical of R is zero) if and only if every cyclic right R-module is injective. Starting from this, a larger class of rings has been introduced and investigated, namely the class of right PCI rings. A ring R is called right PCI if every proper cyclic right R- module is injective (proper here means not being isomorphic to RR). By [l] and [Z], a right PCI ring is either semisimple or it is a right noetherian, right hereditary simple ring. The latter ring is usually called a right PCI domain. In this paper we consider the similar question in studying rings whose cyclic right modules satisfy some decomposition property. The starting point is a theorem recently proved in 13, Theorem 1.1): A ring R is right artinian if and only if every cyclic right R- module is a direct sum of an injective module and a finitely cogenerated module.
