Generalization of CS condition

Let R be an associative ring with identity. An R-module M is called an NCS module if C (M)∩S(M) = {0}, where C (M) and S(M) denote the set of all closed submodules and the set of all small submodules of M, respectively. It is clear that the NCS condition is a generalization of the well-known CS condition. Properties of the NCS conditions of modules and rings are explored in this article. In the end, it is proved that a ring R is right Σ-CS if and only if R is right perfect and right countably Σ-NCS. Recall that a ring R is called right Σ-CS if every direct sum of copies of R_R is a CS module. And a ring R is called right countably Σ-NCS if every direct sum of countable copies of R_R is an NCS module.     

Several Generalizations of the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem with Applications

We say that an R-module M is virtually semisimple if each submodule of M is isomorphic to a direct summand of M. A nonzero indecomposable virtually semisimple module is then called a virtually simple module. We carry out a study of virtually semisimple modules and modules which are direct sums of virtually simple modules . Our study provides several natural generalizations of the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem and an analogous to the classical Krull-Schmidt Theorem. Some applications of these theorems are indicated. For instance, it is shown that the following statements are equivalent for a ring R: (i) Every finitely generated left (right) R-module is virtually semisimple; (ii) Every finitely generated left (right) R-module is a direct sum of virtually simple R-modules; (iii) \(R\cong {\prod }_{i = 1}^{k} M_{n_{i}}(D_{i})\) where k,n ₁,…,n _k ∈ ? and each D _i is a principal ideal V-domain; and (iv) Every nonzero finitely generated left R-module can be written uniquely (up to isomorphism and order of the factors) in the form R m ₁ ⊕… ⊕ R m _k where each R m _i is either a simple R-module or a virtually simple direct summand of R.     

Coherence relative to a weak torsion class

Let R be a ring. A subclass T of left R-modules is called a weak torsion class if it is closed under homomorphic images and extensions. Let T be a weak torsion class of left R-modules and n a positive integer. Then a left R-module M is called T-finitely generated if there exists a finitely generated submodule N such that M/N ∈ T; a left R-module A is called (T,n)-presented if there exists an exact sequence of left R-modules

$$0 \to {K_{n - 1}} \to {F_{n - 1}} \to \cdots \to {F_1} \to {F_0} \to M \to 0$$

such that F₀,..., F_n?1 are finitely generated free and K_n?1 is T-finitely generated; a left R-module M is called (T,n)-injective, if Ext ⁿ _R (A,M) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A; a right R-module M is called (T,n)-flat, if Tor ^R _n (M,A) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A. A ring R is called (T,n)-coherent, if every (T, n+1)-presented module is (n + 1)-presented. Some characterizations and properties of these modules and rings are given.

     

Degenerations of Submodules and Composition Series

Let M and N be modules over an artin algebra such that M degenerates to N. We show that any submodule of M degenerates to a submodule of N. This suggests that a composition series of M will in some sense degenerate to a composition series of N. We then study a subvariety of the module variety, consisting of those representations where all matrices are upper triangular. We show that these representations can be seen as representations of composition series, and that the orbit closures describe the above mentioned degeneration of composition series.     

Dual automorphism-invariant modules over perfect rings

Under study are the dual automorphism-invariant modules and pseudoprojective modules. Some conditions were found under which the dual automorphism-invariant module over a perfect ring is quasiprojective. We also show that if R is a right perfect ring then a pseudoprojective right R-module M is finitely generated if and only if M is a Hopf module.     

Noetherian Rings whose Modules are Prime Serial

A theorem due to Nakayama and Skornyakov states that “a ring R is an Artinian serial ring if and only if all left R-modules are serial” and a theorem due to Warfield state that “a Noetherian ring R is serial if and only if every finitely generated left R-module is serial”. We say that an R-module M is prime uniserial (?-uniserial, for short) if for every pair P, Q of prime submodules of M either \(P\subseteq Q\) or \(Q\subseteq P\), and we say that M is prime serial (?-serial, for short) if it is a direct sum of ?-uniserial modules. Therefore, two interesting natural questions of this sort are: “Which rings have the property that every module is ?-serial?” and “Which rings have the property that every finitely generated module is ?-serial?” Most recently, in our paper, Prime uniserial modules and rings (submitted), we considered these questions in the context of commutative rings. The goal of this paper is to answer these questions in the case R is a Noetherian ring in which all idempotents are central or R is a left Artinian ring.     

Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">SV</Emphasis>-modules

Given an arbitrary quasiprojective right R-module P, we prove that every module in the category σ(P) is weakly regular if and only if every module in σ(M/I(M)) is lifting, where M is a generating object in σ(P). In particular, we describe the rings over which every right module is weakly regular.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis>-Gorenstein injective modules preenvelopes and related dimension

Let R and S be associative rings and _S V _R a semidualizing (S-R)-bimodule. An R-module N is said to be V-Gorenstein injective if there exists a Hom _R (I _V (R),?) and Hom _R (?,I _V (R)) exact exact complex \( \cdots \to {I_1}\xrightarrow{{{d_0}}}{I_0} \to {I^0}\xrightarrow{{{d_0}}}{I^1} \to \cdots \) of V-injective modules I _i and I ⁱ , i ∈ N₀, such that N ? Im(I ₀ → I ⁰). We will call N to be strongly V-Gorenstein injective in case that all modules and homomorphisms in the above exact complex are equal, respectively. It is proved that the class of V-Gorenstein injective modules are closed under extension, direct summand and is a subset of the Auslander class A _V (R) which leads to the fact that V-Gorenstein injective modules admit exact right I _V (R)-resolution. By using these facts, and thinking of the fact that the class of strongly V-Gorenstein injective modules is not closed under direct summand, it is proved that an R-module N is strongly V-Gorenstein injective if and only if N ⊕ E is strongly V-Gorenstein injective for some V-injective module E. Finally, it is proved that an R-module N of finite V-Gorenstein injective injective dimension admits V-Gorenstein injective preenvelope which leads to the fact that, for a natural integer n, Gorenstein V-injective injective dimension of N is bounded to n if and only if \(Ext_{{I_V}\left( R \right)}^{ \geqslant n + 1}\left( {I,N} \right) = 0\) for all modules I with finite I _V (R)-injective dimension.     

On a generalization of semisimple modules

Let R be a ring with identity. A module \(M_R\) is called an r-semisimple module if for any right ideal I of R, MI is a direct summand of \(M_R\) which is a generalization of semisimple and second modules. We investigate when an r-semisimple ring is semisimple and prove that a ring R with the number of nonzero proper ideals \(\le \)4 and \(J(R)=0\) is r-semisimple. Moreover, we prove that R is an r-semisimple ring if and only if it is a direct sum of simple rings and we investigate the structure of module whenever R is an r-semisimple ring.     

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).     

A note on semiprime right Goldie rings

It is shown that a ring R is semiprime right Goldie if and only if R is right nonsingular and every nonsingular right R-module M has a direct decomposition M = I⊕N, where I is injective and N is a reduced module such that N does not contain any extending submodule of infinite Goldie dimension.     

Strongly lifting modules and strongly dual Rickart modules

The concepts of strongly lifting modules and strongly dual Rickart modules are introduced and their properties are studied and relations between them are given in this paper. It is shown that a strongly lifting module has the strongly summand sum property and the generalized Hopfian property, and a ring R is a strongly regular ring if and only if R_R is a strongly dual Rickart module, if and only if aR is a fully invariant direct summand of R_R for every a ∈ R.     

Commutative Rings whose Proper Ideals are Serial

A result of Nakayama and Skornyakov states that a ring R is an Artinian serial ring if and only if every R-module is serial. This motivated us to study commutative rings for which every proper ideal is serial. In this paper, we determine completely the structure of commutative rings R of which every proper ideal is serial. It is shown that every proper ideal of R is serial, if and only if, either R is a serial ring, or R is a local ring with maximal ideal \({\mathcal {M}}\) such that there exist a uniserial module U and a semisimple module T with \({\mathcal {M}}=U\oplus T\). Moreover, in the latter case, every proper ideal of R is isomorphic to \(U^{\prime }\oplus T^{\prime }\), for some \(U^{\prime }\leq U\) and \(T^{\prime }\leq T\). Furthermore, it is shown that every proper ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R is serial, if and only if, either R is a finite direct product of discrete valuation domains and local Artinian principal ideal rings, or R is a local ring with maximal ideal \({\mathcal {M}}\) containing a set of elements {w ₁,…,w _n } such that \({\mathcal {M}}=\bigoplus _{i=1}^{n} Rw_{i}\) with at most one non-simple summand. Moreover, another equivalent condition states that: there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that every proper ideal of R is a direct sum of at most n uniserial R-modules. Finally, we discuss some examples to illustrate our results.     

On Dominions of the Rationals in Nilpotent Groups

The dominion of a subgroup H of a group G in a class M is the set of all a ∈ G that have the same images under every pair of homomorphisms, coinciding on H from G to a group in M. A group H is n-closed in M if for every group G = gr(H, a₁,..., a_n) in M that includes H and is generated modulo H by some n elements, the dominion of H in G (in M) is equal to H. We prove that the additive group of the rationals is 2-closed in every quasivariety of torsion-free nilpotent groups of class at most 3.     

On <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">S</Emphasis>-strong Mori modules

Let A be an integral domain, \(S\subseteq A\) be a multiplicative set and M a w-module as an A-module. In this paper we investigate S-SM-modules. We give an S-version of the result of Wang and McCasland (Commun Algebra 25:1285–1306, 1997) in the case where S is countable. We prove that M is an S-SM-module if and only if every increasing sequence of w-submodules of M is S-stationary if and only if every increasing sequence of S-w-finite w-submodules of M is S-stationary if and only if every increasing sequence of w-finite type submodules of M is S-stationary.     

Complete hypersurfaces with constant laguerre scalar curvature in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let x: M ^n?1 → R ⁿ be an umbilical free hypersurface with non-zero principal curvatures. Two basic invariants of M under the Laguerre transformation group of R ⁿ are Laguerre form C and Laguerre tensor L. In this paper, n > 3) complete hypersurface with vanishing Laguerre form and with constant Laguerre scalar curvature R in R ⁿ , denote the trace-free Laguerre tensor by ?\(\widetilde L = L - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}tr\left( L \right)\) · Id. If \(\widetilde L = L - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}tr\left( L \right)\), then M is Laguerre equivalent to a Laguerre isotropic hypersurface; and if \({\sup _M}\left\| {\widetilde L} \right\| = \frac{{\sqrt {\left( {n - 1} \right)\left( {n - 2} \right)} R}}{{\left( {n - 1} \right)\left( {n - 2} \right)\left( {n - 3} \right)}},\), M is Laguerre equivalent to the hypersurface ?x: H ¹ × S ^n?2 → R ⁿ .     

On J. C. C. Nitsche type inequality for annuli on Riemann surfaces

Assume that (N, ?) and (M, S) are two Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics ? and S. We prove that if there is a harmonic homeomorphism between an annulus A ? N with a conformal modulus Mod(A) and a geodesic annulus A _S (p, ρ₁, ρ₂)?M, then we have ρ₂/ρ₁ ≥ Ψ _S Mod(A)²+ 1, where Ψ _S is a certain positive constant depending on the upper bound of Gaussian curvature of the metric S. An application for the minimal surfaces is given.     

Certain decompositions of matrices over Abelian rings

A ring R is (weakly) nil clean provided that every element in R is the sum of a (weak) idempotent and a nilpotent. We characterize nil and weakly nil matrix rings over abelian rings. Let R be abelian, and let n ∈ ?. We prove that M ⁿ (R) is nil clean if and only if R/J(R) is Boolean and M _n (J(R)) is nil. Furthermore, we prove that R is weakly nil clean if and only if R is periodic; R/J(R) is ?₃, B or ?₃ ⊕ B where B is a Boolean ring, and that M _n (R) is weakly nil clean if and only if M _n (R) is nil clean for all n ≥ 2.
