Associated Prime Submodules of Finitely Generated Modules

A characterization of finitely generated multiplication modules

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a finitely generated unital $R$-module. In this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. Moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $M$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. Then some properties of Fitting ideals o...

MULTIPLICATION MODULES THAT ARE FINITELY GENERATED

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. An $R$-module $M$ is called a multiplication module if for every submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $N = IM$. It is shown that over a Noetherian domain $R$ with dim$(R)leq 1$, multiplication modules are precisely cyclic or isomorphic to an invertible ideal of $R$. Moreover, we give a charac...

On the Prime Submodules of Multiplication Modules

By considering the notion of multiplication modules over a commutative ring with identity, first we introduce the notion product of two submodules of such modules. Then we use this notion to characterize the prime submodules of a multiplication module. Finally, we state and prove a version of Nakayama lemma for multiplication modules and find some related basic results. 1. Introduction. Let R b...

Free modules, finitely-generated modules

The following definition is an example of defining things by mapping properties, that is, by the way the object relates to other objects, rather than by internal structure. The first proposition, which says that there is at most one such thing, is typical, as is its proof. Let R be a commutative ring with 1. Let S be a set. A free R-moduleM on generators S is an R-module M and a set map i : S →...
