Characterizations of incidence modules
Let be an associative ring and be a left -module. We introduce the concept of the incidence module of a locally finite partially ordered set over . We study the properties of and give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the incidence module to be an IN-module, -module, nil injective module and nonsingular module, respectively. Furthermore, we show that the class of -modules is closed under direct product and upper triangular matrix modules.
