Rings of Invariant Module Type and Automorphism-Invariant Modules
A module is called automorphism-invariant if it is invariant under any
automorphism of its injective hull. In [Algebras for which every indecomposable
right module is invariant in its injective envelope, Pacific J. Math., vol. 31,
no. 3 (1969), 655-658] Dickson and Fuller had shown that if is a
finite-dimensional algebra over a field with more than two elements
then an indecomposable automorphism-invariant right -module must be
quasi-injective. In this paper we show that this result fails to hold if
is a field with two elements. Dickson and Fuller had further shown
that if is a finite-dimensional algebra over a field with more
than two elements, then is of right invariant module type if and only if
every indecomposable right -module is automorphism-invariant. We extend the
result of Dickson and Fuller to any right artinian ring. A ring is said to
be of right automorphism-invariant type (in short, RAI-type) if every finitely
generated indecomposable right -module is automorphism-invariant. In this
paper we completely characterize an indecomposable right artinian ring of
RAI-type.Comment: To appear in Contemporary Mathematics, Amer. Math. So
Dilute stuffing in the pyrochlore iridate
The pyrochlore EuIrO has recently attracted significant attention
as a candidate Weyl semimetal. The previous reports on this compound
unanimously show a thermally induced metal to insulator (MI) transition,
concomitant with antiferromagnetic (AFM) long-range ordering of the Ir-moments
below T120 K. However, there are contradictory reports
concerning the slope ddT of the resistivity plots () in the
"metallic" state above the metal-insulator (MI) transition, and the value of
in the insulating state, both of which show significant sample
dependence. Here, we explore this issue by investigating six different
EuIrO samples with slightly varying Eu:Ir ratio. High-resolution
synchrotron powder diffraction are done to probe minor variations in the cell
parameters of the various EuIrO samples investigated here. Specific
heat (C) and magnetic susceptibility of all the samples showed long-range
antiferromagnetic ordering upon cooling below T120 K. The
transitions are, however, found to be smeared out for the off-stoichiometric
samples. We show that the sign of ddT above the metal-insulator (MI)
transition is highly sensitive to the unit cell length, which, in turn, depends
on the level of Eu-stuffing at the Ir-site. Samples with composition close to
the ideal stoichiometry (Eu : Ir 1) showed a change of sign of ddT
from negative to positive upon cooling below a certain temperature T
T. With increasing Eu-stuffing T decreased until a negative
ddT persisted without any sign change down to T.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
Tag-modules with complement submodules H
The concept of a QTAG-module MR
was given by Singh [8]. The structure theory of such
modules has been developed on similar lines as that of torsion abelian groups. If a module MR is such
that M⊕M
is a QTAG-module, it is called a strongly TAG-module. This in turn leads to the concept of a
primary TAG-module and its periodicity. In the present paper some decomposition theorems for those
primary TAG-modules in which all h-neat submodules are h-pure are proved. Unlike torsion abelian
groups, there exist primary TAG-modules of infinite periodicities. Such modules are studied in the last
section. The results proved in this paper indicate that the structure theory of primary TAG-modules of
infinite periodicity is not very similar to that oftorsion abelian groups
Anomalous lattice contraction and emergent electronic phases in Bi-doped EuIrO
We study the pyrochlore series (EuBi)IrO for . We show that for small , the lattice undergoes an anomalous
contraction but the all-in/all-out and metal-to-insulator transitions remain
robust, and the resistivity approaches a dependence at low-T, suggesting
proximity to the Weyl semimetallic phase, as previously predicted
theoretically. At the boundary between EuIrO and BiIrO
a qualitatively different ground state emerges, which is characterized by its
unusual metallic behavior and absence of magnetic ordering at least down to
K.Comment: 5 Pages, 4 figure
