We prove that a ring [Formula: see text] has a module [Formula: see text] whose domain of projectivity consists of only some injective modules if and only if [Formula: see text] is a right noetherian right [Formula: see text]-ring. Also, we consider modules which are projective relative only to a subclass of max modules. Such modules are called max-poor modules. In a recent paper Holston et al. showed that every ring has a p-poor module (that is a module whose projectivity domain consists precisely of the semisimple modules). So every ring has a max-poor module. The structure of all max-poor abelian groups is completely determined. Examples of rings having a max-poor module which is neither projective nor p-poor are provided. We prove that the class of max-poor [Formula: see text]-modules is closed under direct summands if and only if [Formula: see text] is a right Bass ring. A ring [Formula: see text] is said to have no right max-p-middle class if every right [Formula: see text]-module is either projective or max-poor. It is shown that if a commutative noetherian ring [Formula: see text] has no right max-p-middle class, then [Formula: see text] is the ring direct sum of a semisimple ring [Formula: see text] and a ring [Formula: see text] which is either zero or an artinian ring or a one-dimensional local noetherian integral domain such that the quotient field [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] has a proper [Formula: see text]-submodule which is not complete in its [Formula: see text]-topology. Then we show that a commutative noetherian hereditary ring [Formula: see text] has no right max-p-middle class if and only if [Formula: see text] is a semisimple ring.

AbstractLet R be a commutative Noetherian integral domain with field of fractions Q. Generalizing a forty-year-old theorem of E. Matlis, we prove that the R-module Q/R (or Q) has Krull dimension if and only if R is semilocal and one-dimensional. Moreover, if X is an injective module over a commutative Noetherian ring such that X has Krull dimension, then the Krull dimension of X is at most 1.

A module is uniserial in case its submodules are linearly ordered by inclusion. A ring R is left (right) serial if it is a direct sum of uniserial left (right) R-modules. A ring R is serial if it is both left and right serial. It is well known that for artinian rings the property of being serial is equivalent to the finitely generated modules being a direct sum of uniserial modules [8]. Results along this line have been generalized to more arbitrary rings [6], [13].This article is concerned with investigating rings whose indecomposable injective modules are uniserial. The following question is considered which was first posed in [4]. If an artinian ring R has all indecomposable injective modules uniserial, does this imply that R is serial? The answer is yes if R is a finite dimensional algebra over a field. In this paper it is shown, provided R modulo its radical is commutative, that R has every left indecomposable injective uniserial implies that R is right serial.

AbstractA module M is said to be weakly N-projective if it has a projective cover π: P(M) ↠M and for each homomorphism : P(M) → N there exists an epimorphism σ:P(M) ↠M such that (kerσ) = 0, equivalently there exists a homomorphism :M ↠N such that σ= . A module M is said to be weakly projective if it is weakly N-projective for all finitely generated modules N. Weakly N-injective and weakly injective modules are defined dually. In this paper we study rings over which every weakly injective right R-module is weakly projective. We also study those rings over which every weakly projective right module is weakly injective. Among other results, we show that for a ring R the following conditions are equivalent:(1) R is a left perfect and every weakly projective right R-module is weakly injective.(2) R is a direct sum of matrix rings over local QF-rings.(3) R is a QF-ring such that for any indecomposable projective right module eR and for any right ideal I, soc(eR/eI) = (eR/eJ)n for some positive integer n.(4) R is right artinian ring and every weakly injective right R-module is weakly projective.(5) Every weakly projective right R-module is weakly injective and every weakly injective right R-module is weakly projective.

A (commutative integral) domain R is said to be valuative if, for each nonzero element u in the quotient field of R, at least one of R ⊆ R[u] and R ⊆ R[u-1] has no proper intermediate rings. Such domains are closely related to valuation domains. If R is a valuative domain, then R has at most three maximal ideals, and at most two if R is not integrally closed. Also, if R is valuative, the set of nonmaximal prime ideals of R is linearly ordered, at most one maximal ideal of R does not contain each nonmaximal prime of R, and RP is a valuation domain for each prime P except for at most one maximal ideal. Any integrally closed valuative domain is a Bézout domain. Valuation domains are characterized as the quasilocal integrally closed valuative domains. Each one-dimensional Prüfer domain with at most three maximal ideals is valuative.

Two obvious classes of quasi-injective modules are those of semisimples and injectives. In this paper, we study rings with no quasi-injective modules other than semisimples and injectives. We prove that such rings fall into three classes of rings, namely, (i) QI-rings, (ii) rings with no middle class, or (iii) rings that decompose into a direct product of a semisimple Artinian ring and a strongly prime ring. Thus, we restrict our attention to only strongly prime rings and consider hereditary Noetherian prime rings to shed some light on this mysterious case. In particular, we prove that among these rings, QIS-rings which are not of type (i) or (ii) above are precisely those hereditary Noetherian prime rings which are idealizer rings from non-simple QI-overrings.

Let [Formula: see text] be an integral domain with quotient field [Formula: see text]. Call an overring [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] a subring of [Formula: see text] containing [Formula: see text] as a subring. A family [Formula: see text] of overrings of [Formula: see text] is called a defining family of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text]. Call an overring [Formula: see text] a sublocalization of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] has a defining family consisting of rings of fractions of [Formula: see text]. Sublocalizations and their intersections exhibit interesting examples of semistar or star operations [D. D. Anderson, Star operations induced by overrings, Comm. Algebra 16 (1988) 2535–2553]. We show as a consequence of our work that domains that are locally finite intersections of Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication (respectively, Mori) sublocalizations turn out to be Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication domains (PvMDs) (respectively, Mori); in particular, for the Mori domain case, we reobtain a special case of Théorème 1 of [J. Querré, Intersections d’anneaux intègers, J. Algebra 43 (1976) 55–60] and Proposition 3.2 of [N. Dessagnes, Intersections d’anneaux de Mori — exemples, Port. Math. 44 (1987) 379–392]. We also show that, more than the finite character of the defining family, it is the finite character of the star operation induced by the defining family that causes the interesting results. As a particular case of this theory, we provide a purely algebraic approach for characterizing P vMDs as a subclass of the class of essential domains (see also Theorem 2.4 of [C. A. Finocchiaro and F. Tartarone, On a topological characterization of Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication domains among essential domains, preprint (2014), arXiv:1410.4037]).

UDC 512.5 Let R be a ring and let Ω R be the set of maximal right ideals of R . An R -module M is called an sd-Rickart module if for every nonzero endomorphism f of M , ℑ f is a fully invariant direct summand of M . We obtain a characterization for an arbitrary direct sum of sd-Rickart modules to be sd-Rickart. We also obtain a decomposition of an sd-Rickart R -module M , provided R is a commutative noetherian ring and A s s ( M ) ∩ Ω R is a finite set. In addition, we introduce and study ageneralization of sd-Rickart modules.

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.

AbstractA module is uniserial if its lattice of submodules is linearly ordered, and a ring R is left serial if R is a direct sum of uniserial left ideals. The following problem is considered. Suppose the injective hull of each simple left R-module is uniserial. When does this imply that the indecomposable injective left R-modules are uniserial? An affirmative answer is known when R is commutative and when R is Artinian. The following result is proved.Let R be a left serial ring and suppose that for each primitive idempotent e, eRe has indecomposable injective left modules uniserial. The following conditions are equivalent. (a) The injective hull of each simple left R-module is uniserial. (b) Every indecomposable injective left R-module is univerial. (c) Every finitely generated left R-module is serial.The rest of the paper is devoted to a study of some non-Artinian serial rings which serve to illustrate this theorem.

If D is an integral domain with quotient field K, the group of divisibility G(D) of D is the partially ordered group of non-zero principal fractional ideals with aD ≦ bD if and only if aD contains bD. If K* denotes the multiplicative group of K and U(D) the group of units of D, then G(D) is order isomorphic to K*/U(D), where aU(D) ≦ bU(D) if and only if b/a ∊ D.
