Pub . Mat . UAB Vol . 27 N- 1 on the ENDOMORPHISM RING of A
Pub . Mat . UAB Vol . 27 n- 1 ON THE ENDOMORPHISM RING OF A FREE MODULE Pere Menal Throughout, let R be an (associative) ring (with 1) . Let F be the free right R-module, over an infinite set C, with endomorphism ring H . In this note we first study those rings R such that H is left coh- erent .By comparison with Lenzing's characterization of those rings R such that H is right coherent [8, Satz 41, we obtain a large class of rings H which are right but not left coherent . Also we are concerned with the rings R such that H is either right (left) IF-ring or else right (left) self-FP-injective . In particular we pro- ve that H is right self-FP-injective if and only if R is quasi-Frobenius (QF) (this is an slight generalization of results of Faith and .Walker [31 which assure that R must be QF whenever H is right self-i .njective) moreover, this occurs if and only if H is a left IF-ring . On the other hand we shall see that if' R is .pseudo-Frobenius (PF), that is R is an . injective cogenera- tortin Mod-R, then H is left self-FP-injective . Hence any PF-ring, R, that is not QF is such that H is left but not right self FP-injective . A left R-module M is said to be FP-injective if every R-homomorphism N -. M, where N is a -finitély generated submodule of a free module F, may be extended to F . -

REPRESENTATION THEORY WEEK 9 1. Jordan-Hölder Theorem And
REPRESENTATION THEORY WEEK 9 1. Jordan-Holder¨ theorem and indecomposable modules Let M be a module satisfying ascending and descending chain conditions (ACC and DCC). In other words every increasing sequence submodules M1 ⊂ M2 ⊂ ... and any decreasing sequence M1 ⊃ M2 ⊃ ... are finite. Then it is easy to see that there exists a finite sequence M = M0 ⊃ M1 ⊃···⊃ Mk = 0 such that Mi/Mi+1 is a simple module. Such a sequence is called a Jordan-H¨older series. We say that two Jordan H¨older series M = M0 ⊃ M1 ⊃···⊃ Mk = 0, M = N0 ⊃ N1 ⊃···⊃ Nl = 0 ∼ are equivalent if k = l and for some permutation s Mi/Mi+1 = Ns(i)/Ns(i)+1. Theorem 1.1. Any two Jordan-H¨older series are equivalent. Proof. We will prove that if the statement is true for any submodule of M then it is true for M. (If M is simple, the statement is trivial.) If M1 = N1, then the ∼ statement is obvious. Otherwise, M1 + N1 = M, hence M/M1 = N1/ (M1 ∩ N1) and ∼ M/N1 = M1/ (M1 ∩ N1). Consider the series M = M0 ⊃ M1 ⊃ M1∩N1 ⊃ K1 ⊃···⊃ Ks = 0, M = N0 ⊃ N1 ⊃ N1∩M1 ⊃ K1 ⊃···⊃ Ks = 0. They are obviously equivalent, and by induction assumption the first series is equiv- alent to M = M0 ⊃ M1 ⊃ ··· ⊃ Mk = 0, and the second one is equivalent to M = N0 ⊃ N1 ⊃···⊃ Nl = {0}. Hence they are equivalent. Thus, we can define a length l (M) of a module M satisfying ACC and DCC, and if M is a proper submodule of N, then l (M) <l (N). -
Idempotent Lifting and Ring Extensions
IDEMPOTENT LIFTING AND RING EXTENSIONS ALEXANDER J. DIESL, SAMUEL J. DITTMER, AND PACE P. NIELSEN Abstract. We answer multiple open questions concerning lifting of idempotents that appear in the literature. Most of the results are obtained by constructing explicit counter-examples. For instance, we provide a ring R for which idempotents lift modulo the Jacobson radical J(R), but idempotents do not lift modulo J(M2(R)). Thus, the property \idempotents lift modulo the Jacobson radical" is not a Morita invariant. We also prove that if I and J are ideals of R for which idempotents lift (even strongly), then it can be the case that idempotents do not lift over I + J. On the positive side, if I and J are enabling ideals in R, then I + J is also an enabling ideal. We show that if I E R is (weakly) enabling in R, then I[t] is not necessarily (weakly) enabling in R[t] while I t is (weakly) enabling in R t . The latter result is a special case of a more general theorem about completions.J K Finally, we give examplesJ K showing that conjugate idempotents are not necessarily related by a string of perspectivities. 1. Introduction In ring theory it is useful to be able to lift properties of a factor ring of R back to R itself. This is often accomplished by restricting to a nice class of rings. Indeed, certain common classes of rings are defined precisely in terms of such lifting properties. For instance, semiperfect rings are those rings R for which R=J(R) is semisimple and idempotents lift modulo the Jacobson radical. -

Abstract Let τ be a hereditary torsion theory on the category Mod-R of right R-modules. A right R-module M is called pure τ-injective if it is injec- tive with respect to every pure exact sequence having a τ-torsion cok- ernel. Every module has a pure τ-injective envelope. A module M is called purely quasi τ-injective if it is fully invariant in its pure τ-injective envelope. A module M is called quasi pure τ-injective if maps from τ- dense pure submodules of M into M are extendable to endomorphisms of M. The class of pure τ-injective modules is properly contained in the class of purely quasi τ-injective modules which is in turn properly contained in the class of quasi pure τ-injectives. A torsion theoretic version of each of the concepts of regular and pure semisimple rings is characterized using the above generalizations of pure injectivity. Mathematics Subject Classification: 16D50 Keywords: (quasi) pure injective module, purely quasi injective module, torsion theory 1 Introduction We will denote by R an associative ring with a nonzero identity and by τ = (T ; F) a hereditary torsion theory on the category Mod-R of right R-modules. -

Cyclic Pure Submodules
International Journal of Algebra, Vol. 3, 2009, no. 3, 125 - 135 Cyclic Pure Submodules V. A. Hiremath1 Department of Mathematics, Karnatak University Dharwad-580003, India va hiremath@rediffmail.com Seema S. Gramopadhye2 Department of Mathematics, Karnatak University Dharwad-580003, India e-mail:[email protected] Abstract P.M.Cohn [3] has introduced the notion of purity for R-modules. With respect to purity, flat, absolutely pure and regular modules are studied. In this paper we introduce and study the corresponding no- tions of c-flat, absolutely c-pure and c-regular modules for cyclic pu- rity. We prove that absolutely c-pure R-modules are precisely injective modules. Also we study the relationship between c-flat and torsion-free modules over commutative integral domains and non-commutative non- integral domains. Also, we study the conditions under which c-regular R-modules are semi-simple. Mathematics Subject Classifications: 16D40, 16D50 Keywords: Pure submodules, flat module and regular ring Introduction In this paper, by a ring R we mean an associative ring with unity and by an R-module we mean a unitary right R-module. Z(M) denotes the singular submodule of the R-module M. 1Corresponding author 2The author is supported by University Research Scholarship. 126 V. A. Hiremath and S. S. Gramopadhye A ring R is said to be principal projective, if every principal right ideal is projective. We denote this ring by p.p. The notion of purity has an important role in module theory and in model theory. In model theory, the notion of pure exact sequence is more useful than split exact sequences. -
The Exchange Property and Direct Sums of Indecomposable Injective Modules
Pacific Journal of Mathematics THE EXCHANGE PROPERTY AND DIRECT SUMS OF INDECOMPOSABLE INJECTIVE MODULES KUNIO YAMAGATA Vol. 55, No. 1 September 1974 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 55, No. 1, 1974 THE EXCHANGE PROPERTY AND DIRECT SUMS OF INDECOMPOSABLE INJECTIVE MODULES KUNIO YAMAGATA This paper contains two main results. The first gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a direct sum of inde- composable injective modules to have the exchange property. It is seen that the class of these modules satisfying the con- dition is a new one of modules having the exchange property. The second gives a necessary and sufficient condition on a ring for all direct sums of indecomposable injective modules to have the exchange property. Throughout this paper R will be an associative ring with identity and all modules will be right i?-modules. A module M has the exchange property [5] if for any module A and any two direct sum decompositions iel f with M ~ M, there exist submodules A\ £ At such that The module M has the finite exchange property if this holds whenever the index set I is finite. As examples of modules which have the exchange property, we know quasi-injective modules and modules whose endomorphism rings are local (see [16], [7], [15] and for the other ones [5]). It is well known that a finite direct sum M = φj=1 Mt has the exchange property if and only if each of the modules Λft has the same property ([5, Lemma 3.10]). In general, however, an infinite direct sum M = ®i&IMi has not the exchange property even if each of Λf/s has the same property. -
Ring (Mathematics) 1 Ring (Mathematics)
Ring (mathematics) 1 Ring (mathematics) In mathematics, a ring is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with two binary operations usually called addition and multiplication, where the set is an abelian group under addition (called the additive group of the ring) and a monoid under multiplication such that multiplication distributes over addition.a[›] In other words the ring axioms require that addition is commutative, addition and multiplication are associative, multiplication distributes over addition, each element in the set has an additive inverse, and there exists an additive identity. One of the most common examples of a ring is the set of integers endowed with its natural operations of addition and multiplication. Certain variations of the definition of a ring are sometimes employed, and these are outlined later in the article. Polynomials, represented here by curves, form a ring under addition The branch of mathematics that studies rings is known and multiplication. as ring theory. Ring theorists study properties common to both familiar mathematical structures such as integers and polynomials, and to the many less well-known mathematical structures that also satisfy the axioms of ring theory. The ubiquity of rings makes them a central organizing principle of contemporary mathematics.[1] Ring theory may be used to understand fundamental physical laws, such as those underlying special relativity and symmetry phenomena in molecular chemistry. The concept of a ring first arose from attempts to prove Fermat's last theorem, starting with Richard Dedekind in the 1880s. After contributions from other fields, mainly number theory, the ring notion was generalized and firmly established during the 1920s by Emmy Noether and Wolfgang Krull.[2] Modern ring theory—a very active mathematical discipline—studies rings in their own right. -
Block Theory with Modules
JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 65, 225--233 (1980) Block Theory with Modules J. L. ALPERIN* AND DAVID W. BURRY* Department of Mathematics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 and Department of Mathematics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 Communicated by Walter Felt Received October 2, 1979 1. INTRODUCTION There are three very different approaches to block theory: the "functional" method which deals with characters, Brauer characters, Carton invariants and the like; the ring-theoretic approach with heavy emphasis on idempotents; module-theoretic methods based on relatively projective modules and the Green correspondence. Each approach contributes greatly and no one of them is sufficient for all the results. Recently, a number of fundamental concepts and results have been formulated in module-theoretic terms. These include Nagao's theorem [3] which implies the Second Main Theorem, Green's description of the defect group in terms of vertices [4, 6] and a module description of the Brauer correspondence [1]. Our purpose here is to show how much of block theory can be done by statring with module-theoretic concepts; our contribution is the methods and not any new results, though we do hope these ideas can be applied elsewhere. We begin by defining defect groups in terms of vertices and so use Green's theorem to motivate the definition. This enables us to show quickly the fact that defect groups are Sylow intersections [4, 6] and can be characterized in terms of the vertices of the indecomposable modules in the block. We then define the Brauer correspondence in terms of modules and then prove part of the First Main Theorem, Nagao's theorem in full and results on blocks and normal subgroups. -
Pure Baer Injective Modules
Internat. J. Math. & Math. Sci. 529 VOL. 20 NO. 3 (1997) 529-538 PURE BAER INJECTIVE MODULES NADA M. AL THANI Department of Mathematics Faculty of Science Qatar University Doha, QATAR (Received April 19,1995 and in revised form April 16, 1996) ABSTRACT. In this paper we generalize the notion of pure injectivity of modules by introducing what we call a pure Baer injective module. Some properties and some characterization of such modules are established. We also introduce two notions closely related to pure Baer injectivity; namely, the notions of a E-pure Baer injective module and that of SSBI-ring. A ring R is an SSBI-ring if and only if every smisimple R-module is pure Baer injective. To investigate such algebraic structures we had to define what we call p-essential extension modules, pure relative complement submodules, left pure hereditary tings and some other related notions. The basic properties of these concepts and their interrelationships are explored, and are further related to the notions of pure split modules.

INTRODUCTION In this introduction we establish terminology and recall a summary of some basic definitions and results in the literature necessary for subsequent sections of the paper.

Decomposition of Graded Modules Cary Webb1
PROCEEDINGS of the AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 94, Number 4, August 1985 DECOMPOSITION OF GRADED MODULES CARY WEBB1 ABSTRACT. In this paper, the primary objective is to obtain decomposition theorems for graded modules over the polynomial ring k[x], where k denotes a field. There is some overlap with recent work of Hoppner and Lenzing. The results obtained include identification of the free, projective, and injective modules. It is proved that a module that is either reduced and locally finite or bounded below is a direct sum of cyclic submodules. Pure submodules are direct summands if they are bounded below. In such case, the pure submodule is itself a direct sum of cyclic submodules. It is also noted that Cohen and Gluck's Stacked Bases Theorem remains true if the modules are graded. I. Introduction. The purpose of this study is to obtain decomposition theo- rems for graded /c[i]-modules, where k denotes a field. Such a module is a direct sum, in the upgraded sense, of fc-vector spaces V¿ indexed over the positive and negative integers. The operation x on V¿ is an (arbitrary) linear transformation Xi'.Vi —» Vi+i. (Thus x actually represents a countable family of distinct linear transformations.) The V¿'s are called the homogeneous components of V. Our most important kind of results are those which decompose a graded k[x\- module into a direct sum of cyclic submodules and also those results which show how a submodule can be a direct summand. Important too but more easily derived are the identities of injective objects and the fact that all projective objects are free.
