Varieties and sums of rings.
Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-simple Artinian rings, self-injective regular rings are characterized. Rings which are either strongly regular or semi-simple Artinian are considered. Annihilator ideals and -regular rings are studied. Properties of WGP-injectivity are developed.
Using a lattice-theoretical approach we find characterizations of modules with finite uniform dimension and of modules with finite hollow dimension.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a criterion of an occurrence of uncountably generated uniserial modules over chain rings. As we show it suffices to investigate two extreme cases, nearly simple chain rings, i.e. chain rings containing only three two-sided ideals, and chain rings with “many” two-sided ideals. We prove that there exists an -generated uniserial module over every non-artinian nearly simple chain ring and over chain rings containing an uncountable strictly increasing (resp. decreasing)...
