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.     

On L-R Smash Products of Hopf Algebras

Let H be a Hopf algebra and A an H-bimodule algebra. This article investigates homological dimensions and Gorenstein dimensions of L-R smash products A?H. Several well-known results are generalized. Moreover, we explore the stability of Gorenstein projective (flat) precovers and Gorenstein injective preenvelopes between the category of left A-modules and the category of left A?H-modules.     

Some Aspects of Strongly P-projective Modules and Homological Dimensions

A left R-module M is called strongly P-projective if Extⁱ(M, P) = 0 for all projective left R-modules P and all i ≥ 1. In this article, we first discuss properties of strongly P-projective modules. Then we introduce and study the strongly P-projective dimensions of modules and rings. The relations between the strongly P-projective dimension and other homological dimensions are also investigated.     

Gorenstein Homological Dimension with Respect to a Semidualizing Module and a Generalization of a Theorem of Bass

Let C be a semidualizing module for a commutative ring R. In this paper, we study the resulting modules of finite G _C -projective dimension in Bass class, showing that they admit G _C -projective precover. Over local ring, we prove that dim _R (M) ≤ 𝒢? _C  ? id _R (M) for any nonzero finitely generated R-module M, which generalizes a result due to Bass.     

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.     

On Gorenstein FP-Injective and Gorenstein Flat Complexes

In this article, the concept of Gorenstein FP-injective modules and some related known results are generalized to Gorenstein FP-injective complexes. Moreover, some new characterizations of Gorenstein flat complexes are given. It is also proved that every complex has a Gorenstein flat preenvelope over coherent rings with finite self-FP-injective dimension.     

Σ-Extending Modules, Σ-Lifting Modules,and Proper Classes

We introduce generalizations of extending modules and lifting modules relative to proper classes of short exact sequences of modules, and we characterize modules for which any direct sums of copies of them are such relative extending modules or relative lifting modules.
