A method due to Fay and Walls for associating a factorization system with a radical is examined for associative rings. It is shown that a factorization system results if and only if the radical is strict and supernilpotent. For groups and non-associative rings, no radical defines a factorization system.
Recently Rim and Teply [11] found a necessary condition for the existence of -torsionfree covers with respect to a given hereditary torsion theory for the category -mod. This condition uses the class of -exact modules; i.e. the -torsionfree modules for which every its -torsionfree homomorphic image is -injective. In this note we shall show that the existence of -torsionfree covers implies the existence of -exact covers, and we shall investigate some sufficient conditions for the converse....
We introduce the notion of a relative hermitian Morita context between torsion triples and we show how these induce equivalences between suitable quotient categories of left and right modules.Due to the lack of involutive bimodules, the induced Morita equivalences are not necessarily hermitian, however.
Rim and Teply [10] investigated relatively exact modules in connection with the existence of torsionfree covers. In this note we shall study some properties of the lattice of submodules of a torsionfree module consisting of all submodules of such that is torsionfree and such that every torsionfree homomorphic image of the relative injective hull of is relatively injective. The results obtained are applied to the study of relatively exact covers of torsionfree modules. As an application...
