We introduce the notions of T-Rickart and strongly T-Rickart modules. We provide several characterizations and investigate properties of each of these concepts. It is shown that R is right Σ-t-extending if and only if every R-module is T-Rickart. Also, every free R-module is T-Rickart if and only if $R=Z₂\left(R_R\right)\oplus R^{\text{'}}$, where R’ is a hereditary right R-module. Examples illustrating the results are presented.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $𝔞$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ an $R$-module and $t$ a non-negative integer. In this paper we show that the class of minimax modules includes the class of $\mathrm{𝒜ℱ}$ modules. The main result is that if the $R$-module ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^t(R/𝔞,M)$ is finite (finitely generated), $H_{𝔞}^i\left(M\right)$ is $𝔞$-cofinite for all $i<t$ and $H_{𝔞}^t\left(M\right)$ is minimax then $H_{𝔞}^t\left(M\right)$ is $𝔞$-cofinite. As a consequence we show that if $M$ and $N$ are finite $R$-modules and $H_{𝔞}^i\left(N\right)$ is minimax for all $i<t$ then the set of associated prime ideals of the generalized local cohomology...

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ a right $R$-module. $M$ is called $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented if every submodule $N$ of $M$ with $\frac{M}{N}$ finitely generated has a supplement that is a direct summand of $M$. In this paper various properties of the $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules are given. It is shown that (1) Arbitrary direct sum of $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules is $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented. (2) A ring $R$ is semiperfect if and only if every free $R$-module is $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented. In addition, if $M$ has the...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity and $I$ an ideal of $R$. It is shown that, if $M$ is a non-zero minimax $R$-module such that $dim\mathrm{Supp}{H}_I^i\left(M\right)\le 1$ for all $i$, then the $R$-module $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is $I$-cominimax for all $i$. In fact, $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is $I$-cofinite for all $i\ge 1$. Also, we prove that for a weakly Laskerian $R$-module $M$, if $R$ is local and $t$ is a non-negative integer such that $dim\mathrm{Supp}{H}_I^i\left(M\right)\le 2$ for all $i<t$, then ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^j(R/I,H_I^i\left(M\right))$ and ${\mathrm{Hom}}_R(R/I,H_I^t\left(M\right))$ are weakly Laskerian for all $i<t$ and all $j\ge 0$. As a consequence, the set of associated primes of $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is finite for all $i\ge 0$, whenever...

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a complete Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a nonzero Artinian $R$-module. In this paper it is shown that if $𝔭$ is a prime ideal of $R$ such that $dimR/𝔭=1$ and $\left(0{:}_M𝔭\right)$ is not finitely generated and for each $i\ge 2$ the $R$-module ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(M,R/𝔭)$ is of finite length, then the $R$-module ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^1(M,R/𝔭)$ is not of finite length. Using this result, it is shown that for all finitely generated $R$-modules $N$ with $Supp\left(N\right)\subseteq V\left(I\right)$ and for all integers $i\ge 0$, the $R$-modules ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(N,M)$ are of finite length, if and only if, for all finitely generated $R$-modules...

Using geometrical methods, Huisgen-Zimmermann showed that if M is a module with simple top, then M has no proper degeneration $M{<}_{deg}N$ such that ${}^{t}M{/}^{t+1}M{\simeq }^{t}N{/}^{t+1}N$ for all t. Given a module M with square-free top and a projective cover P, she showed that $di{m}_{k}Hom(M,M)=di{m}_{k}Hom(P,M)$ if and only if M has no proper degeneration $M{<}_{deg}N$ where M/M ≃ N/N. We prove here these results in a more general form, for hom-order instead of degeneration-order, and we prove them algebraically. The results of Huisgen-Zimmermann follow as consequences from...

We investigate the category $\text{mod}\Lambda$ of finite length modules over the ring $\Lambda =A{\otimes }_k\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a V-ring, i.e. a ring for which every simple module is injective, $k$ a subfield of its centre and $A$ an elementary $k$-algebra. Each simple module $E_j$ gives rise to a quasiprogenerator $P_j=A\otimes E_j$. By a result of K. Fuller, $P_j$ induces a category equivalence from which we deduce that $\text{mod}\Lambda \simeq {\coprod }_{j}badhbox{P}_j$. As a consequence we can (1) construct for each elementary $k$-algebra $A$ over a finite field $k$ a nonartinian noetherian ring $\Lambda$ such that $\text{mod}A\simeq \text{mod}\Lambda$,...
