Let M be a left module over a ring R. M is called a Zelmanowitz-regular module if for each x ∈ M there exists a homomorphism F: M → R such that f(x) = x. Let Q be a left R-module and h: Q → M a homomorphism. We call h locally split if for every x ∈ M there exists a homomorphism g: M → Q such that h(g(x)) = x. M is called locally projective if every epimorphism onto M is locally split. We prove that the following conditions are equivalent:(1) M is Zelmanowitz-regular.(2) every homomorphism into M...

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...

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.

In this paper we introduce the class of strongly rectifiable and S-homogeneous modules. We study basic properties of these modules, of their pure and refined submodules, of Hill's modules and we also prove an extension of the second Prüfer's theorem.
