AbstractIn this paper, we introduce some classes of R-modules that are closely related to the classes of Prüfer, Dedekind and Bezout modules. Let R be a commutative ring with identity and set\mathbb{H}=\bigl{\{}M\mid M\text{ is an }R\text{-module and }\mathrm{Nil}(M)%
\text{ is a divided prime submodule of }M\bigr{\}}.For an R-module {M\in\mathbb{H}}, set {T=(R\setminus Z(R))\cap(R\setminus Z(M))}, {\mathfrak{T}(M)=T^{-1}M} and {P=(\mathrm{Nil}(M):_{R}M)}. In this case, the mapping {\Phi:\mathfrak{T}(M)\to M_{P}} given by {\Phi(x/s)=x/s} is an R-module homomorphism. The restriction of Φ to M is also an R-module homomorphism from M into {M_{P}} given by {\Phi(x)=x/1} for every {x\in M}. A nonnil submodule N of M is said to be Φ-invertible if {\Phi(N)} is an invertible submodule of {\Phi(M)}. Moreover, M is called a Φ-Prüfer module if every finitely generated nonnil submodule of M is Φ-invertible. If every nonnil submodule of M is Φ-invertible, then we say that M is a Φ-Dedekind module. Furthermore, M is said to be a Φ-Bezout module if {\Phi(N)} is a principal ideal of {\Phi(M)} for every finitely generated submodule N of the R-module M. The paper is devoted to the study of the properties of Φ-Prüfer, Φ-Dedekind and Φ-Bezout R-modules.
