Subdirect sum decompositions of endomorphism rings

Direct-sum decompositions of modules with semilocal endomorphism rings

Let R be a ring and C a class of right R-modules closed under finite direct sums. If we suppose that C has a set of representatives, that is, a set V(C) ⊆ C such that every M ∈ C is isomorphic to a unique element [M ] ∈ V(C), then we can view V(C) as a monoid, with the monoid operation [M1] + [M2] = [M1 ⊕M2]. Recent developments in the theory of commutative monoids (e.g., [4], [15]) suggest tha...

Direct-sum Decompositions over Local Rings

Let (R,m) be a local ring (commutative and Noetherian). If R is complete (or, more generally, Henselian), one has the Krull-Schmidt uniqueness theorem for direct sums of indecomposable finitely generated R-modules. By passing to the m-adic completion b R, we can get a measure of how badly the Krull-Schmidt theorem can fail for a more general local ring. We assign to each finitely generated R-mo...
