A prominent question in the study of modules over an integral domain has been: “When is the torsion submodule t(A) of a module A a direct summand of A?” A module is said to split when its torsion module is a direct summand. Clearly, every cyclic module over an integral domain splits. Interesting splitting problems have been explored by Kaplansky [14; 15], Rotman [20], Chase [4], and others.Recently, many concepts of torsion have been proposed for modules over arbitrary associative rings with identity. Two of the most important of these concepts are Goldie's torsion theory (see [1; 12; 22]) and the simple torsion theory (see [5; 6; 8; 9; 23], and their references).

Let R be a ring, M a right R-module and a hereditary torsion theory in Mod-R with associated torsion functor τ for the ring R. Then M is called τ-supplemented when for every submodule N of M there exists a direct summand K of M such that K ≤ N and N/K is τ-torsion module. In [4], M is called almost τ-torsion if every proper submodule of M is τ-torsion. We present here some properties of these classes of modules and look for answers to the following questions posed by the referee of the paper [4]: (1) Let a module M = M′ ⊕ M″ be a direct sum of a semisimple module M′ and τ-supplemented module M″. Is M τ-supplemented? (2) Can one find a non-stable hereditary torsion theory τ and τ-supplemented modules M′ and M″ such that M′ ⊕ M″ is not τ-supplemented? (3) Can one find a stable hereditary torsion theory τ and a τ-supplemented module M such that M/N is not τ-supplemented for some submodule N of M? (4) Let τ be a non-stable hereditary torsion theory and the module M be a finite direct sum of almost τ-torsion submodules. Is M τ-supplemented? (5) Do you know an example of a torsion theory τ and a τ-supplemented module M with τ-torsion submodule τ(M) such that M/τ(M) is not semisimple?

We introduce the notion of t-Rickart modules as a generalization of t-Baer modules. Dual t-Rickart modules are also defined. Both of these are generalizations of continuous modules. Every direct summand of a t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) module inherits the property. Some equivalent conditions to being t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) are given. In particular, we show that a module M is t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) if and only if M is a direct sum of a Z2-torsion module and a nonsingular Rickart (resp., dual Rickart) module. It is proved that for a ring R, every R-module is dual t-Rickart if and only if R is right t-semisimple, while every R-module is t-Rickart if and only if R is right Σ-t-extending. Other types of rings are characterized by certain classes of t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) modules.

AbstractLet N be a direct summand of a module which is a direct sum of modules of torsion-free rank one over a discrete valuation ring. Then there is a torsion module T such that N⊕T is also a direct sum of modules of torsion-free rank one.

Let Λ be a ring and σ a kernel functor (left exact preradical) on the category of left Λ-modules. A left Λ-module M is called σ-semi-simple if whenever N is a submodule of M with M/Nσ-torsion, N is a direct summand of M. In Section 1 we consider alternative characterizations and properties of σ-semi-simplicity for modules. In Section 2 conditions equivalent to the σ-semi-simplicity of the ring are obtained. Section 3 is devoted to the condition, which frequently arises in Section 2, that every σ-torsion module be semisimple.

For a hereditary torsion theory τ, a moduleAis called τ-completedly decomposable if it is a direct sum of modules that are the τ-injective hull of each of their non-zero submodules. We give a positive answer in several cases to the following generalised Matlis' problem: Is every direct summand of a τ-completely decomposable module still τ-completely decomposable? Secondly, for a commutative Noetherian ringRthat is not a domain, we determine those torsion theories with the property that every τ-injective module is an essential extension of a (τ-injective) τ-completely decomposable module.

When we consider modules A over a ring R which is not a commutative integral domain, the usual torsion theory becomes somewhat inadequate, since zero-divisors of R are disregarded and since the torsion elements of A do not in general form a submodule. In this paper we shall try to remedy such defects by modifying the fundamental notions such as torsion modules, divisible modules, etc.

Let [Formula: see text]be a finite direct sum of modules. We prove: (i) If Mi is radical Mj-projective for all j > i and each Mi is H-supplemented, then M is H-supplemented. (ii) If all the Mi are relatively projective and N is H-supplemented, then each Mi is H-supplemented. Let ρ be the preradical for a cohereditary torsion theory. Let M be a module such that ρ (M) has a unique coclosure and every direct summand of ρ (M) has a coclosure in M. Then M is H-supplemented if and only if there exists a decomposition M=M1⊕M2 such that M2 ⊆ ρ(M), ρ(M)/M2 ≪ M/M2, and M1, M2 are H-supplemented.

This chapter proves several more results about weak isomorphisms between Moufang sets arising from quadratic forms and involutory sets. It first fixes a non-trivial anisotropic quadratic space Λ‎ = (K, L, q) before considering two proper anisotropic pseudo-quadratic spaces. It then describes a quaternion division algebra and its standard involution, a second quaternion division algebra and its standard involution, and an involutory set with a quaternion division algebra and its standard involution. It concludes with one more small observation regarding a pointed anisotropic quadratic space and shows that there is a unique multiplication on L that turns L into an integral domain with a multiplicative identity.

<em>Ring of integers under the addition and multiplication as integral domain can be imbedded to the field of rational numbers. In this paper we make&nbsp; a construction such that any integral domain can be&nbsp; a field of quotient. The construction contains three steps. First, we define element of field F from elements of integral domain D. Secondly, we show that the binary operations in fare well-defined. Finally, we prove that </em><em>&nbsp;</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>D </em><em>&reg;</em><em> </em><em>F is an isomorphisma. In this case, the polynomial ring F[x] as the integral domain can be imbedded to the field of quotient.</em>
