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 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 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.

An [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is called strongly [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text] (equivalently, direct projective) module for every positive integer [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider the class of quasi-projective [Formula: see text]-modules, the class of strongly [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]-modules and the class of [Formula: see text]-modules. We first show that these classes are distinct, which gives a negative answer to the question raised by Li–Chen–Kourki. We also give structural characterizations of strongly [Formula: see text] modules for finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain. In addition, we characterize some rings such as Artinian semisimple rings, hereditary rings, semihereditary rings and perfect rings in terms of strongly [Formula: see text] modules.

It is shown that rings in which the projective cover and injective hull of cyclic modules are isomorphic are equivalent to uniserial rings. Further, it is shown that rings for which the top and bottom of finitely generated modules are isomorphic also are equivalent to uniserial rings.

AbstractWe study direct-sum decompositions of torsion-free, finitely generated modules over a (commutative) Bass ring R through the factorization theory of the corresponding monoid T(R). Results of Levy–Wiegand and Levy–Odenthal together with a study of the local case yield an explicit description of T(R). The monoid is typically neither factorial nor cancellative. Nevertheless, we construct a transfer homomorphism to a monoid of graph agglomerations—a natural class of monoids serving as combinatorial models for the factorization theory of T(R). As a consequence, the monoid T(R) is transfer Krull of finite type and several finiteness results on arithmetical invariants apply. We also establish results on the elasticity of T(R) and characterize when T(R) is half-factorial. (Factoriality, that is, torsion-free Krull–Remak–Schmidt–Azumaya, is characterized by a theorem of Levy–Odenthal.) The monoids of graph agglomerations introduced here are also of independent interest.

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 R be a ring and n be a positive integer. Then R is called a left n-C2-ring (strongly left C2-ring) if every n-generated (finitely generated) proper right ideal of R has nonzero left annihilator. We discuss some n-C2 and strongly C2 extensions, such as trivial extensions, formal triangular matrix rings, group rings and [Formula: see text][D, C].

A ring R is said to be right serial, if it is a direct sum of right ideals which are uniserial. A ring that is right serial need not be left serial. Right artinian, right serial ring naturally arise in the study of artinian rings satisfying certain conditions. For example, if an artinian ring R is such that all finitely generated indecomposable right R-modules are uniform or all finitely generated indecomposable left R-modules are local, then R is right serial. Such rings have been studied by many authors including Ivanov, Singh and Bleehed, and Tachikawa. In this paper, a universal construction of a class of indecomposable, non-local, basic, right artinian, right serial rings is given. The construction depends on a right artinian, right serial ring generating system X, which gives rise to a tensor ring T(L). It is proved that any basic right artinian, right serial ring is a homomorphic image of one such T(L).
