When Products of Self-Small Modules are Self-Small

A module M is called “self-small” if the functor Hom(M, ?) commutes with direct sums of copies of M. The main goal of the present article is to construct a non-self-small product of self-small modules without nonzero homomorphisms between distinct ones and to correct an error in a claim about products of self-small modules published by Arnold and Murley in a fundamental article on this topic. The second part of the article is devoted to the study of endomorphism rings of self-small modules.

Artinian Rings Characterized by Direct Sums of CS Modules

Abstract

In this note, we show that the following are equivalent for a ring R for which the socle or the injective hull of R _R is finitely generated: (i) The direct sum of any two CS right R-modules is again CS; (ii) R is right Artinian and every uniform right R-module has composition length at most two. Next we give partial answers to a question of Huynh whether a right countably Σ-CS ring which either is semilocal or has finite Goldie dimension is right Σ-CS. We give characterizations, in terms of radicals, of when such rings are right Σ-CS. In particular, for the semilocal case, Huynh's question is reduced to whether rad(Z ₂(R _R )) is Σ-CS or Noetherian, where Z ₂(R _R ) is the second singular right ideal of R. Our results yield new characterizations of QF-rings.     

Modules satisfying the weak Nakayama property

Let R$R$ be a commutative ring with identity. We will say that an R$R$-module M$M$ satisfies the weak Nakayama property, if IM=M$IM=M$, where I$I$ is an ideal of R$R$, implies that for any x∈M$x\in M$ there exists a∈I$a\in I$ such that (a−1)x=0$(a-1)x=0$. In this paper, we will study modules satisfying the weak Nakayama property. It is proved that if R$R$ is a local ring, then R$R$ is a Max ring if and only if J(R)$J\left(R\right)$, the Jacobson radical of R$R$, is T$T$-nilpotent if and only if every R$R$-module satisfies the weak Nakayama property.     

Modules Whose Endomorphism Rings are Division Rings

The well-known Schur's Lemma states that the endomorphism ring of a simple module is a division ring. But the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study modules whose endomorphism rings are division rings. We first reduce our consideration to the case of faithful modules with this property. Using the existence of such modules, we obtain results on a new notion which generalizes that of primitive rings. When R is a full or triangular matrix ring over a commutative ring, a structure theorem is proved for an R-module M such that End _R (M) is a division ring. A number of examples are given to illustrate our results and to motivate further study on this topic.     

Endomorphism Rings of Regular Modules over Wild Hereditary Algebras

Let X be an indecomposable regular module over a connected wild hereditary path-algebra. The main result is a factorization property for maps in the radical of End _H (X) and an upper bound for its degree of nilpotency. The bound is sharp if X has elementary quasi-top. In this, case the socle of End _H (X) can also be characterized.     

Flat Modules over Group Rings of Finite Groups

Let k be a commutative ring of coefficients and G be a finite group. Does there exist a flat k G-module which is projective as a k-module but not as a k G-module? We relate this question to the question of existence of a k-module which is flat and periodic but not projective. For either question to have a positive answer, it is at least necessary to have |k| ≥ ?_ω. There can be no such example if k is Noetherian of finite Krull dimension, or if k is perfect.     

Amenability and Linear Cellular Automata Over Semisimple Modules of Finite Length

Let M be a semisimple left module of finite length over a ring R and let G be an amenable group. We show that an R-linear cellular automaton τ:M^G → M^G is surjective if and only if it is pre-injective.     

$PS$-Injective Modules, $PS$-Flat Modules and $PS$-Coherent Rings

A left ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is small in case for every proper left ideal $K$ of $R, K +I≠R$. A ring $R$ is called left $PS$-coherent if every principally small left ideal $Ra$ is finitely presented. We develop, in this paper, $PS$-coherent rings as a generalization of $P$-coherent rings and $J$-coherent rings. To characterize $PS$-coherent rings, we first introduce $PS$-injective and $PS$-flat modules, and discuss the relation between them over some spacial rings. Some properties of left $PS$-coherent rings are also studied.

Almost-Flat Modules

We present general properties for almost-flat modules and we prove that a self-small right module is almost flat as a left module over its endomorphism ring if and only if the class of g-static modules is closed under the kernels.     

Zip模(英文)

A ring R is called right zip provided that if the annihilator τR（X） of a subset X of R is zero, then τR（Y） = 0 for some finite subset Y C X. Such rings have been studied in literature. For a right R-module M, we introduce the notion of a zip module, which is a generalization of the right zip ring. A number of properties of this sort of modules are established, and the equivalent conditions of the right zip ring R are given. Moreover, the zip properties of matrices and polynomials over a module M are studied.     

Modules over serial rings

This paper continues the study of Noetherian serial rings. General theorems describing the structure of such rings are proved. In particular, some results concerning π-projective and π-injective modules over serial rings are obtained. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 65, No. 6, pp. 880–892 June, 1999.     

IFP-Flat Modules and IFP-Injective Modules

In this article, we introduce the concept of IFP-flat (resp., IFP-injective) modules as nontrivial generalization of flat (resp., injective) modules. We investigate the properties of these modules in various ways. For example, we show that the class of IFP-flat (resp., IFP-injective) modules is closed under direct products and direct sums. Therefore, the direct product of flat modules is not flat in general; however, the direct product of flat modules is IFP-flat over any ring. We prove that (^⊥??, ??) is a complete cotorsion theory and (??, ??^⊥) is a perfect cotorsion theory, where ?? stands for the class of all IFP-injective left R-modules, and ?? denotes the class of all IFP-flat right R-modules.     

Generalization of Regular Modules

We study generalizations of regular modules by Ramamurthy and Mabuchi. These are also generalizations of fully right idempotent and fully left idempotent rings, respectively. We also define and study the properties of *-weakly regular modules, a generalization of fully idempotent rings.     

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.

On the Loewy length of the center of a block with elementary abelian defect groups

Let G be a finite group and k an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. In this paper we investigate the Loewy structure of centers of indecomposable group algebras kG, for groups G with a normal elementary abelian Sylow p-subgroup. Furthermore, we show a reduction result for the case that a normal abelian Sylow p-subgroup is acted upon by a subgroup of its automorphism group; this is fundamental in providing generic formulae for the Loewy lengths considered.     

Simple-Baer Rings and Minannihilator Modules

Let R be a ring. M is said to be a minannihilator left R-module if r _M l _R (I) = IM for any simple right ideal I of R. A right R-module N is called simple-flat if Nl _R (I) = l _N (I) for any simple right ideal I of R. R is said to be a left simple-Baer (resp., left simple-coherent) ring if the left annihilator of every simple right ideal is a direct summand of _R R (resp., finitely generated). We first obtain some properties of minannihilator and simple-flat modules. Then we characterize simple-coherent rings, simple-Baer rings, and universally mininjective rings using minannihilator and simple-flat modules.
