For every module $M$ we have a natural monomorphism $$\Psi :\coprod _{i\in I}{\mathrm{H}om}_R(M,A_i)\to {\mathrm{H}om}_R\left(M,\coprod _{i\in I}{A}_i\right)$$ and we focus our attention on the case when $\Psi$ is also an epimorphism. Some other colimits are also considered.

The present work gives some characterizations of $R$-modules with the direct summand sum property (in short DSSP), that is of those $R$-modules for which the sum of any two direct summands, so the submodule generated by their union, is a direct summand, too. General results and results concerning certain classes of $R$-modules (injective or projective) with this property, over several rings, are presented.

The concept of an extending ideal in a modular lattice is introduced. A translation of module-theoretical concept of ojectivity (i.e. generalized relative injectivity) in the context of the lattice of ideals of a modular lattice is introduced. In a modular lattice satisfying a certain condition, a characterization is given for direct summands of an extending ideal to be mutually ojective. We define exchangeable decomposition and internal exchange property of an ideal in a modular lattice. It is...

We introduce the notion of FI-mono-retractable modules which is a generalization of compressible modules. We investigate the properties of such modules. It is shown that the rings over which every cyclic module is FI-mono-retractable are simple Noetherian $V$-ring with zero socle or Artinian semisimple. The last section of the paper is devoted to the endomorphism rings of FI-retractable modules.

We investigate some properties of $n$-submodules. More precisely, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for every proper submodule of a module to be an $n$-submodule. Also, we show that if $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $\sqrt{{\mathrm{Ann}}_R\left(M\right)}$ is a prime ideal of $R$, then $M$ has $n$-submodule. Moreover, we define the notion of $G.n$-submodule, which is a generalization of the notion of $n$-submodule. We find some characterizations of $G.n$-submodules and we examine the way the aforementioned notions are related to each...

The aim of this paper is to investigate quasi-corational, comonoform, copolyform and $\alpha$-(co)atomic modules. It is proved that for an ordinal $\alpha$ a right $R$-module $M$ is $\alpha$-atomic if and only if it is $\alpha$-coatomic. And it is also shown that an $\alpha$-atomic module $M$ is quasi-projective if and only if $M$ is quasi-corationally complete. Some other results are developed.

Let $M$ be a module and $\mu$ be a class of modules in $Mod-R$ which is closed under isomorphisms and submodules. As a generalization of essential submodules Özcan in [8] defines a $\mu$-essential submodule provided it has a non-zero intersection with any non-zero submodule in $\mu$. We define and investigate $\mu$-singular modules. We also introduce $\mu$-extending and weakly $\mu$-extending modules and mainly study weakly $\mu$-extending modules. We give some characterizations of $\mu$-co-H-rings by weakly $\mu$-extending modules. Let $R$...

In this paper we introduce the concept of $\tau$-extending modules by $\tau$-rational submodules and study some properties of such modules. It is shown that the set of all $\tau$-rational left ideals of ${}_{R}R$ is a Gabriel filter. An $R$-module $M$ is called $\tau$-extending if every submodule of $M$ is $\tau$-rational in a direct summand of $M$. It is proved that $M$ is $\tau$-extending if and only if $M=Re{j}_{M}E(R/\tau \left(R\right))\oplus N$, such that $N$ is a $\tau$-extending submodule of $M$. An example is given to show that the direct sum of $\tau$-extending modules need not be $\tau$-extending....

Module is said to be small if it is not a union of strictly increasing infinite countable chain of submodules. We show that the class of all small modules over self-injective purely infinite ring is closed under direct products whenever there exists no strongly inaccessible cardinal.

A ring R is a right max ring if every right module M ≠ 0 has at least one maximal submodule. It suffices to check for maximal submodules of a single module and its submodules in order to test for a max ring; namely, any cogenerating module E of mod-R; also it suffices to check the submodules of the injective hull E(V) of each simple module V (Theorem 1). Another test is transfinite nilpotence of the radical of E in the sense that radα E = 0; equivalently, there is an ordinal α such that radα(E(V))...

A right $R$-module $M$ is called $R$-projective provided that it is projective relative to the right $R$-module $R_R$. This paper deals with the rings whose all nonsingular right modules are $R$-projective. For a right nonsingular ring $R$, we prove that $R_R$ is of finite Goldie rank and all nonsingular right $R$-modules are $R$-projective if and only if $R$ is right finitely $\Sigma$-$CS$ and flat right $R$-modules are $R$-projective. Then, $R$-projectivity of the class of nonsingular injective right modules is also considered. Over right...

Let $R$ be a ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module with $S={\mathrm{End}}_{\mathrm{R}}\left(\mathrm{M}\right)$. Consider the preradical $\overline{Z}$ for the category of right $R$-modules Mod-$R$ introduced by Y. Talebi and N. Vanaja in 2002 and defined by $\overline{Z}\left(M\right)=\bigcap \{U\le M:M/U$ is small in its injective hull$\}$. The module $M$ is called quasi-t-dual Baer if ${\sum }_{\varphi \in \Im }\varphi \left({\overline{Z}}^2\left(M\right)\right)$ is a direct summand of $M$ for every two-sided ideal $\Im$ of $S$, where ${\overline{Z}}^2\left(M\right)=\overline{Z}\left(\overline{Z}\left(M\right)\right)$. In this paper, we show that $M$ is quasi-t-dual Baer if and only if ${\overline{Z}}^2\left(M\right)$ is a direct summand of $M$ and ${\overline{Z}}^2\left(M\right)$ is a quasi-dual Baer module. It is also shown that any direct summand of a...

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary left $R$-module. The co-intersection graph of proper submodules of $M$, denoted by $\Omega \left(M\right)$, is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set $V\left(\Omega \right)$ is a set of all nontrivial submodules of $M$ and two distinct vertices $N$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if $N+K\ne M$. We study the connectivity, the core and the clique number of $\Omega \left(M\right)$. Also, we provide some conditions on the module $M$, under which the clique number of $\Omega \left(M\right)$ is infinite and $\Omega \left(M\right)$ is a planar graph. Moreover, we give several...

In this paper, we prove that any pure submodule of a strict Mittag-Leffler module is a locally split submodule. As applications, we discuss some relations between locally split monomorphisms and locally split epimorphisms and give a partial answer to the open problem whether Gorenstein projective modules are Ding projective.
