On coseparable and 𝔪-coseparable modules

A right R-module M is virtually extending (or CIS) if every complement submodule of M is isomorphic to a direct summand of M, and M is called a virtually C2-module if every complement submodule of M which is isomorphic to a direct summand of M is itself a direct summand. The class of virtually extending modules (respectively, virtually C2-modules) is a strict and simultaneous generalization of extending modules (respectively, unifies extending modules and C2-modules): M is a semisimple module if and only if M is virtually semisimple and C2, and M is an extending module if and only if M is virtually extending and virtually C2. Furthermore, every virtually simple right R-module is injective if and only if R is a right V-ring and the class of virtually simple right R-modules coincides with the class of simple right R-modules. Among other results, we show that (1) if all cyclic sub-factors of a cyclic weakly co-Hopfian right R-module M are virtually extending, then M is a finite direct sum of uniform submodules; (2) every distributive virtually extending module over any Noetherian ring is a direct sum of uniform submodules; (3) over a right Noetherian ring, every virtually extending module satisfies the Schröder-Bernstein property; (4) being virtually extending (VC2) is a Morita invariant property; (4) if is a VC2-module where denotes the injective hull, then M is injective.

A module M is called (cofinitely) Rad-⊕-supplemented if every (cofinite) submodule of M has a Rad-supplement that is a direct summand of M. We prove that if M is a coatomic cofinitely Rad-⊕-supplemented module, then M is an irredundant sum of local direct summands. We show that the classes of cofinitely Rad-⊕-supplemented modules and Rad-⊕-supplemented modules are closed under finite direct sums. We also show that every direct summand of a weak duo (cofinitely) Rad-⊕-supplemented module is (cofinitely) Rad-⊕-supplemented.

Harada (cf. 1983) introduced the lifting property for maximal submodules and the extending property for simple submodules, and Oshiro (cf. 1983b) definitely introduced lifting modules and extending modules. Since then, the method and results in their works urged not only the study on (quasi-)discrete and (quasi-)continuous modules but also the one on themselves. The reader is referred to Mohamed and Müller (1990) and Dung et al. (1994) for the research on lifting modules and extending modules. In this article, we study the following fundamental open problems: When is a direct sum ⨁IMi of lifting (extending) modules {Mi}I lifting (extending)? These problems are unsolved even in the case that the index set I is finite. Now, the purpose of this article is to study the problem concerned with finite direct sums of lifting modules.

The question of whether all projective modules (or all finitely generated projective modules) over a given ring are free or extended is solved positively only for relatively small class of rings. In 1976, a significant progress was achieved in this area of research: D. Quillen and A. A. Suslin simultaneously and independently of one another proved that all projective modules over algebras of polynomials over fields are free modules, which was a solution to the well-known J.-P. Serre’s problem. Later similar results were obtained by various researchers for projectivemodules over ringsmore general then algebras of polynomials over fields. For example, V. A. Artamonov solved this problem for rings of quantum polynomials. The current state of this line of research is described in detail in the survey paper [1] containing an extensive list of references. Inmany cases, it is possible to prove that all projectivemodules of sufficiently large ranks over a given ring are free (or extended), but for projectivemodules of small ranks (for example, of rank one) this result does not hold. In this paper, we discuss problems of more special character: The problem of finding in an explicit form isomorphisms between a given projective module and a free (or extended) module, and, for an explicitly given projective module, the problem of efficient determination whether it is a free (or extended) module. By definition, a finitely generated projective module is a direct summand of a free module. Therefore, the most general way to define such a module is to indicate the idempotent matrix corresponding to the projection onto the direct summand. We show that, for modules over graded rings, the fact that a module is extended can be established if the sequence of powers of nonzero homogeneous components of the given idempotent matrix is known (Theorem 1), or under condition that certain blocks of positive homogeneous components of the same matrix vanish (Theorem 2). In the above described cases, there is a method of explicit constructing of the desired isomorphism. Statements of such kind are derived as consequences of the results of [2], where the author considered a situation which is so general that one can take as an “algebra” for which the results of [2] are valid not only linear multioperator algebras but modules over a certain class of rings. In this paper, we use the basic constructions, definitions, and notation from [2]. We make only insignificant changes in notation in order that it correspond to the generally adopted notation in the theory of rings and modules. So, the notation f1 used in [2] (for a polynomial, it corresponds to the homogeneous component of the first degree) is changed here by f0 since it corresponds to the zero component of the grading of the ring. Correspondingly, the other indices are also shifted by one.

In this paper, we introduce and study the properties of chain conditions on M-cyclic submodules defined as M-Noetherian and M-Artinian modules and rings. We prove that the property of being iso-M-Noetherian (iso-M-Artinian) is inherited by submodules, quotient modules, and finite sums as well as finite direct sums. Finally, we prove the Hilbert basis theorem for iso-M-Noetherian (iso-M-Artinian) and verify that the property of modules of being M-Noetherian (M-Artinian) and iso-M-Noetherian (iso-M-Artinian) are Morita invariant.

On the Schröder–Bernstein property for modules

Poor modules with no proper poor direct summands

In 1968–1969, A. V. Jategaonkar published his famous constructions of left but not right noetherian rings that provided counterexamples to several important conjectures of that era. These examples, and others like them, seemed to indicate that, in general, the task of completely understanding the structure of indecomposable injective modules over one-sided noetherian rings was hopeless. In this paper I show how to deduce by natural methods, directly from the known description of these rings and their properties, explicit computational descriptions of the indecomposable injective left modules over Jategaonkar's rings. I use these explicit descriptions to answer some simple structural questions about the indecomposables. The structure of indecomposable injective modules over a commutative noetherian ring has been well understood since the work of Matlis[10] in the 1950's. There is a natural correspondence between the indecomposable injectives and the localizations of the ring, and the structure of ...

Let R be a commutative ring with unity. Let W be an R-module, for K≤F, where F is a submodule of W and K is said to be R-annihilator coessential submodule of F in W (briefly R-a-coessential) if (denoted by K F in W). An R-module W is called strongly hollow -R-annihilator -lifting module (briefly, strongly hollow-R-a-lifting), if for every submodule F of W with hollow, there exists a fully invariant direct summand K of W such that K F in W. An R - module W is called strongly R - annihilator - ( hollow - lifting ) module ( briefly strongly R - a - ( hollow - lifting ) module ), if for every submodule F of W with R - a - hollow, there exists a fully invariant direct summand K of W such that K F in W.

This note investigates torsion-free abelian groups G of finite rank which embed, as subgroups of finite index, in a finite direct sum C of subgroups of the additive group of rational numbers. Specifically, we examine the relationship between G and C when the index of G in C is minimal. Some properties of Warfield duality are developed and used (in the case that G is locally free) to relate our results to earlier ones by Burkhardt and Lady.

Let N be a normal subgroup of a group G. An N-module Q is called G-stable provided that Q is equivalent to the twist Q g of Q by g, for every g ∈ G. If the action of N on Q extends to an action of G on Q, then Q is obviously G-stable, but the converse need not hold. A famous conjecture in the modular representation theory of reductive algebraic groups G asserts that the (obviously G-stable) projective indecomposable modules (PIMs) Q for the Frobenius kernels G r (r ≥ 1) of G have a G-module structure. It is sometimes just as useful (for a general module Q) to know that a finite direct sum Q ⊕ n of Q has a compatible G-module structure. In this paper, this property is called numerical stability. In recent work (Parshall and Scott, Adv Math 226:2065–2088, 2011), the authors established numerical stability in the special case of PIMs. We provide in this paper a more general context for that result, working in the context of k-group schemes and a suitable version of G-stability, called strong G-stability. Among our results here is the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a compatible G-module structure on a strongly G-stable N-module, in the form of a cohomological obstruction which must be trivial precisely when the G-module structure exists. Our main result is achieved by giving an approach to killing the obstruction by tensoring with certain finite dimensional G/N-modules.

This paper investigates self-small abelian groups of finite torsion-free rank. We obtain a new characterization of infinite self-small groups. In addition, self-small groups of torsion-free rank 1 and their finite direct sums are discussed.
