Goldie extending elements in modular lattices
The concept of a Goldie extending module is generalized to a Goldie extending element in a lattice. An element of a lattice with is said to be a Goldie extending element if and only if for every there exists a direct summand of such that is essential in both and . Some properties of such elements are obtained in the context of modular lattices. We give a necessary condition for the direct sum of Goldie extending elements to be Goldie extending. Some characterizations of a decomposition...
