Principally quasi-injective modules

An R-module M is called principally quasi-injective if each R-hornomorphism from a principal submodule of M to M can be extended to an endomorphism of M. Many properties of principally injective rings and quasi-injective modules are extended to these modules. As one application, we show that, for a finite-dimensional quasi-injective module M in which every maximal uniform submodule is fully invariant, there is a bijection between the set of indecomposable summands of M and the maximal left ideals of the endomorphism ring of M

Throughout this paper all rings R are associative with unity, and all modules are unital. We denote the Jacobson radical, the socle and the singular submodule of a module M by J(M), soc(M) and Z(M), respectively, and we write J(M) = J. The notation N ?^ess M means that N is an essential submodule of M.
