In this paper, we invoke theory of generalized inverses and minus partial order on regular matrices over a commutative ring to define rank–function for regular matrices and dimension–function for finitely generated projective modules which are direct summands of a free module. Some properties held by the rank of a matrix and the dimension of a vector space over a field are generalized. Also, a generalization of rank-nullity theorem has been established when the matrix given is regular.

We study some applications of the theory of commutative monoids to the monoid [Formula: see text] of all isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective right modules over a (not necessarily commutative) ring R.

Let R be a commutative ring with multiplicative identity and P is a finitely generated projective R-module. If P∗ is the set of R-module homomorphism from P to R, then the tensor product P∗⊗RP can be considered as an R-coalgebra. Furthermore, P and P∗ is a comodule over coalgebra P∗⊗RP. Using the Morita context, this paper give sufficient conditions of clean coalgebra P∗⊗RP and clean P∗⊗RP-comodule P and P∗. These sufficient conditions are determined by the conditions of module P and ring R.

In this paper, we study connections on hermitian modules, and show that metric connections exist on regular hermitian modules; i.e. finitely generated projective modules together with a non-singular hermitian form. In addition, we develop an index calculus for such modules, and provide a characterization in terms of the existence of a pseudo-inverse of the matrix representing the hermitian form with respect to a set of generators. As a first illustration of the above concepts, we find metric connections on the fuzzy sphere. Finally, the framework is applied to a class of noncommutative minimal surfaces, for which there is a natural concept of torsion, and we prove that there exist metric and torsion free connections for every minimal surface in this class.

In [5], DeMeyer extended one consequence of Wedderburn's theorem; that is, if R is a commutative ring with a finite number of maximal ideals (semi-local) and with no idempotents except 0 and 1 or if R is the ring of polynomials in one variable over a perfect field, then there is a unique (up to isomorphism) indecomposable finitely generated projective module over a central separable R-algebra A.

The definition of the determinant of an endomorphism of a free module depends on the following fact: If F is a free R-module of rank n, then the homogeneous component ∧nF, of degree n, of the exterior algebra ∧ F of F is a free R-module of rank one. If a is an endomorphism of F, then a extends to an endomorphism of ∧ F which in ∧nF is therefore multiplication by an element of R. That factor is then defined to be the determinant of α. (A discussion of this theory may be found in [4].)This procedure cannot be applied in general to finitely generated projective modules since, for such modules, it may happen that no homogeneous component of the exterior algebra is free of rank one.

In this paper, the notion of “strongly unit regular element”, for which every reflexive generalized inverse is associated with an inverse complement, is introduced. Noting that every strongly unit regular element is unit regular, some characterizations of unit regular elements are obtained in terms of inverse complements and with the help of minus partial order. Unit generalized inverses of given unit regular element are characterized as sum of reflexive generalized inverses and the generators of its annihilators. Surprisingly, it has been observed that the class of strongly regular elements and unit regular elements are the same. Also, several classes of generalized inverses are characterized in terms of inverse complements.

‎Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity‎, ‎and $n\geq 1$ an integer‎. ‎A proper submodule $N$ of an $R$-module $M$ is called‎ ‎an $n$-prime submodule if whenever $a_1 \cdots a_{n+1}m\in N$ for some non-units $a_1‎, ‎\ldots‎ , ‎a_{n+1}\in R$ and $m\in M$‎, ‎then $m\in N$ or there are $n$ of the $a_i$'s whose product is in $(N:M)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we study $n$-prime submodules as a generalization of prime submodules‎. ‎Among other results‎, ‎it is shown that if $M$ is a finitely generated faithful multiplication module over a Dedekind domain $R$‎, ‎then every $n$-prime submodule of $M$ has the form $m_1\cdots m_t M$ for some maximal ideals $m_1,\ldots,m_t$ of $R$ with $1\leq t\leq n$‎.
