Characterizations of Semi-Perfect and Perfect Modules.
Let M be a left module over a ring R. M is called a Zelmanowitz-regular module if for each x ∈ M there exists a homomorphism F: M → R such that f(x) = x. Let Q be a left R-module and h: Q → M a homomorphism. We call h locally split if for every x ∈ M there exists a homomorphism g: M → Q such that h(g(x)) = x. M is called locally projective if every epimorphism onto M is locally split. We prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) M is Zelmanowitz-regular. (2)...
We first prove that every countably presented module is a pure epimorphic image of a countably generated pure-projective module, and by using this we prove that if every countably generated pure-projective module is pure-injective then every module is pure-injective, while if in any countably generated pure-projective module every countably generated pure-projective pure submodule is a direct summand then every module is pure-projective.
