ON GENERALIZED EPI-PROJECTIVE MODULES

A module M is said to be generalized N-projective (or N-dual ojective) if, for any epimorphism g : N &#8594; X and any homomorphism f : M &#8594; X, there exist decompositions M = M1 &#8853; M2, N = N1 &#8853; N2, a homomorphism h1 : M1 &#8594; N1 and an epimorphism h2 : N2 &#8594; M2 such that g &#9702; h1 = f|M1 and f &#9702; h2 = g|N2 . This relative projectivity is very useful for the study on direct sums of lifting modules (cf. [5], [7]). In the definition, it should be noted that we may often consider the case when f to be an epimorphism. By this reason, in this paper we define relative (strongly) generalized epi-projective modules and show several results on this generalized epi-projectivity. We apply our results to the known problem when finite direct sums M1&#8853;· · ·&#8853;Mn of lifting modules Mi (i = 1, · · · , n) is lifting.</p

ON MONO-INJECTIVE MODULES AND MONO-OJECTIVE MODULES

In [5] and [6], we have introduced a couple of relative generalized epi-projectivities and given several properties of these projectivities. In this paper, we consider relative generalized injectivities that are dual to these relative projectivities and apply them to the study of direct sums of extending modules. Firstly we prove that for an extending module N, a module M is N-injective if and only if M is mono-Ninjective and essentially N-injective. Then we define a mono-ojectivity that plays an important role in the study of direct sums of extending modules. The structure of (mono-)ojectivity is complicated and hence it is difficult to determine whether these injectivities are inherited by finite direct sums and direct summands even in the case where each module is quasi-continuous. Finally we give several characterizations of these injectivities and find necessary and sufficient conditions for the direct sums of extending modules to be extending

On some radicals and proper classes associated to simple modules

For a unitary right module $M$, there are two known partitions of simple modules in the category $\sigma[M]$: the first one divides them into $M$-injective modules and $M$-small modules, while the second one divides them into $M$-projective modules and $M$-singular modules. We study inclusions between the first two and the last two classes of simple modules in terms of some associated radicals and proper classes

Absolute co-supplement and absolute co-coclosed modules

A module M is called an absolute co-coclosed (absolute co-supplement) module if whenever M ≅ T/X the submodule X of T is a coclosed (supplement) submodule of T. Rings for which all modules are absolute co-coclosed (absolute co-supplement) are precisely determined. We also investigate the rings whose (finitely generated) absolute co-supplement modules are projective. We show that a commutative domain R is a Dedekind domain if and only if every submodule of an absolute co-supplement R-module is absolute co-supplement. We also prove that the class Coclosed of all short exact sequences 0→A→B→C→0 such that A is a coclosed submodule of B is a proper class and every extension of an absolute co-coclosed module by an absolute co-coclosed module is absolute co-coclosed.Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turke

Some rings for which the cosingular submodule of every module is a direct summand

The submodule Z(M) = ∩{N | M/N is small in its injective hull} was introduced by Talebi and Vanaja in 2002. A ring R is said to have property (P ) if Z(M) is a direct summand of M for every R-module M . It is shown that a commutative perfect ring R has (P ) if and only if R is semisimple. An example is given to show that this characterization is not true for noncommutative rings. We prove that if R is a commutative ring such that the class {M ∈ Mod−R | ZR(M) = 0} is closed under factor modules, then R has (P ) if and only if the ring R is von Neumann regular
