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.

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 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.

Using a lattice-theoretical approach we find characterizations of modules with finite uniform dimension and of modules with finite hollow dimension.

The intrinsic algebraic entropy ent(ɸ) of an endomorphism ɸ of an Abelian group G can be computed using fully inert subgroups of ɸ-invariant sections of G, instead of the whole family of ɸ-inert subgroups. For a class of groups containing the groups of finite rank, aswell as those groupswhich are trajectories of finitely generated subgroups, it is proved that only fully inert subgroups of the group itself are needed to comput ent(ɸ). Examples show how the situation may be quite different outside...
