چکیده

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. It often happens that M1 ⊕ · · · ⊕ Ms ∼= N1 ⊕ · · · ⊕ Nt for indecomposable R-modules M1, . . . , Ms and N1, . . . , Nt with s 6= t. This behavior can be captured by studying the commutative monoid {[M ] |M is an R-module} of isomorphism classes of R-modules with operation given by [M ]+[N ] = [M⊕N ]. In this mostly self-contained exposition, we introduce the reader to the interplay between the the study of direct-sum decompositions of modules and the study of factorizations in integral domains.

Inert Module Extensions, Multiplicatively Closed Subsets Conserving Cyclic Submodules and Factorization in Modules

Introduction Suppose that  is a commutative ring with identity,  is a unitary -module and  is a multiplicatively closed subset of .  Factorization theory in commutative rings, which has a long history, still gets the attention of many researchers. Although at first, the focus of this theory was factorization properties of elements in integral domains, in the late nineties the theory was gener...

Solving System of Linear Congruence Equations over some Rings by Decompositions of Modules

In this paper, we deal with solving systems of linear congruences over commutative CF-rings. More precisely, let R be a CF-ring (every finitely generated direct sum of cyclic R-modules has a canonical form) and let I_1,..., I_n be n ideals of R. We introduce congruence matrices theory techniques and exploit its application to solve the above system. Further, we investigate the application of co...

Ranks of modules relative to a torsion theory

Relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $M$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $M$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $M$ whenever $tau$ is the Goldie torsion theory. It is shown that the $tau$-rank of $M$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $M$. Moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $M$ and c...

Quasi-Primary Decomposition in Modules Over Proufer Domains

In this paper we investigate decompositions of submodules in modules over a Proufer domain into intersections of quasi-primary and classical quasi-primary submodules. In particular, existence and uniqueness of quasi-primary decompositions in modules over a Proufer domain of finite character are proved. Proufer domain; primary submodule; quasi-primary submodule; classical quasi-primary; decompo...

$PI$-extending modules via nontrivial complex bundles and Abelian endomorphism rings

A module is said to be $PI$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $PI$-extending modules. To this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...
