AbstractWe show that the endomorphism rings of kernels ker ϕ of non-injective morphisms ϕ between indecomposable injective modules are either local or have two maximal ideals, the module ker ϕ is determined up to isomorphism by two invariants called monogeny class and upper part, and a weak form of the Krull–Schmidt theorem holds for direct sums of these kernels. We prove with an example that our pathological decompositions actually take place. We show that a direct sum ofnkernels of morphisms between injective indecomposable modules can have exactlyn! pairwise non-isomorphic direct-sum decompositions into kernels of morphisms of the same type. IfERis an injective indecomposable module andSis its endomorphism ring, the duality Hom(−,ER) transforms kernels of morphismsER→ERinto cyclically presented left modules over the local ringS, sending the monogeny class into the epigeny class and the upper part into the lower part.

It is well known that if a module M is expressible as a direct sum of modules with local endomorphism rings, then such a decomposition is essentially unique. That is, if M = ⊕i∊IMi = ⊕j∊JNj then there is a bijection f: I → J such that Mi is isomorphic to Nf(i) for all i∊I (see [1]). On the other hand, a nonprincipal ideal in a Dedekind domain provides an example where such a theorem fails in the absence of the local hypothesis. Group algebras of certain groups over rings R of algebraic integers is another such example, where even the rank as R-modules of indecomposable summands of a module is not uniquely determined (see [2]). Both of these examples yield modules which are expressible as direct sums of two indecomposable modules in distinct ways. In this note we construct a family of rings which show that the number of summands in a representation of a module M as a direct sum of indecomposable modules is also not unique unless one has additional hypotheses.

In this paper we show that a direct decomposition of modulesM⊕N, withNhomologically independent to the injective hull ofM, is a CS-module if and only ifNis injective relative toMand both ofMandNare CS-modules. As an application, we prove that a direct sum of a non-singular semisimple module and a quasi-continuous module with zero socle is quasi-continuous. This result is known for quasi-injective modules. But when we confine ourselves to CS-modules we need no conditions on their socles. Then we investigate direct sums of CS-modules which are pairwise relatively inective. We show that every finite direct sum of such modules is a CS-module. This result is known for quasi-continuous modules. For the case of infinite direct sums, one has to add an extra condition. Finally, we briefly discuss modules in which every two direct summands are relatively inective.

AbstractDedekind domains, Artinian serial rings and right uniserial rings share the following property: Every cyclic right module is a direct sum of uniform modules. We first prove the following improvement of the well-known Osofsky-Smith theorem: A cyclic module with every cyclic subfactor a direct sum of extending modules has finite Goldie dimension. So, rings with the above-mentioned property are precisely rings of the title. Furthermore, a ring R is right q.f.d. (cyclics with finite Goldie dimension) if proper cyclic (≇ RR) right R-modules are direct sums of extending modules. R is right serial with all prime ideals maximal and ∩n ∈ ℕJn = Jm for some m ∈ ℕ if cyclic right R-modules are direct sums of quasi-injective modules. A right non-singular ring with the latter property is right Artinian. Thus, hereditary Artinian serial rings are precisely one-sided non-singular rings whose right and left cyclic modules are direct sums of quasi-injectives.

In this work, we investigate conditions under which unions of ascending chains of modules which are isomorphic to direct sums of ideals of an integral domain are again isomorphic to direct sums of ideals. We obtain generalizations of the Pontryagin-Hill theorems for modules which are direct sums of ideals of h-local Prüfer domains. Particularly, we prove that a torsion-free module over a Dedekind domain with a countable number of maximal ideals is isomorphic to a direct sum of ideals if it is the union of a countable ascending chain of pure submodules which are isomorphic to direct sums of ideals.

In this paper, we study modules whose endomorphism rings are right Rickart (or right p.p.) rings, which we call R-endoRickart modules. We provide some characterizations of R-endoRickart modules. Some classes of rings are characterized in terms of R-endoRickart modules. We prove that an R-endoRickart module with no innite set of nonzero orthogonal idempotents in its endomorphism ring is precisely an endoBaer module. We show that a direct summand of an R-endoRickart modules inherits the property, while a direct sum of R-endoRickart modules does not. Necessary and sucient conditions for a nite direct sum of R-endoRickart modules to be an R-endoRickart module are provided.

The main object of this paper is to study when infective noetherian modules are artinian. This question was first raised by J. Fisher and an example of an injective noetherian module which is not artinian is given in [9]. However, it is shown in [4] that over commutative rings, and over hereditary noetherian P.I rings, injective noetherian does imply artinian. By combining results of [6] and [4] it can be shown that the above implication is true over any noetherian P.I ring. It is shown in this paper that injective noetherian modules are artinian over rings finitely generated as modules over their centers, and over semiprime rings of Krull dimension 1. It is also shown that every injective noetherian module over a P.I ring contains a simple submodule. Since any noetherian injective module is a finite direct sum of indecomposable injectives it suffices to study when such injectives are artinian. IfQis an injective indecomposable noetherian module, thenQcontains a non-zero submoduleQ0such that the endomorphism rings ofQ0and all its submodules are skewfields. Over a commutative ring, such aQ0is simple. In the non-commutative case very little can be concluded, and many of the difficulties seem to arise here.

Let [Formula: see text] be a right [Formula: see text]-module with finite exchange property and let [Formula: see text] be its endomorphism ring. In this paper, some sufficient and necessary conditions for [Formula: see text] to be a Hermitian ring are given. Moreover, we investigate Hermitian endomorphism rings of quasi-projective modules by means of completions of diagrams. The dual problems for quasi-injective modules are also studied.

L. Fuchs has posed the problem of identifying those abelian groups that can serve as the additive structure of an injective module over some ring [1, p. 179], and in particular of identifying those abelian groups which are injective as modules over their endomorphism rings [1, p. 112]. Richman and Walker have recently answered the latter question, generalized in a non-trivial way [7], and have shown that the groups in question are of a rather restricted structure.In this paper we consider abelian groups which are quasi-injective over their endomorphism rings. We show that divisible groups are quasi-injective as are direct sums of cyclic p-groups. Quasi-injectivity of certain direct sums (products) is characterized in terms of the summands (factors). In general it seems that the answer to the question of whether or not a group G is quasinjective over its endomorphism ring E depends on how big HomE(H, G) is, with H a fully invariant subgroup of G.

This paper proves that every direct summand N of a direct sum of indecomposable injective submodules of a module is the sum of a direct sum of indecomposable injective submodules and a sum of indecomposable injective submodules of Z2(N).
