چکیده

In this paper, all rings are associative with identity and all modules are unital left modules unless otherwise specified. Let R be a ring and M a module. N ≤M will mean N is a submodule of M. A submodule E of M is called essential in M (notation E ≤e M) if E∩A = 0 for any nonzero submodule A of M. Dually, a submodule S of M is called small in M (notation S M) if M = S+T for any proper submodule T of M. M is said to be Hopfian (co-Hopfian) in case any surjective (injective) homomorphism is automatically an isomorphism. M is called generalized Hopfian (GH) if any of its surjective endomorphisms has a small kernel. M is called weakly co-Hopfian if any injective endomorphism of M is essential. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of GCH modules and WH modules. It is shown that (1) a module M which satisfies DCC on essential submodules is GCH and a module M which satisfies ACC on small submodules is WH; (2) if M[X] is GCH R[X]-module, then M is GCH R-module. Examples show that a GCH module need not be co-Hopfian and a WH module need not be Hopfian. The notions which are not explained here will be found in [4].

Semi Hopfian and Semi Co-Hopfian Modules over Generalized Power Series Rings

Let (S,≤) be a strictly totally ordered monoid, R be a commutative ring and M be an R-module. We show the following results: (1) If (S,≤) satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a semi Hopfian [[RS,≤]]-module if and only if M is a semi Hopfian R-module; (2) If (S,≤) is artinian, then the generalized inverse polynomial module [MS,...

Modules with Dedekind Finite Endomorphism Rings

This article is a survey of modules whose endomorphism rings are Dedekind finite, Hopfian or co-Hopfian. We summarise the properties of such modules and present unified proofs of known results and generalisations to new structure theorems. MSC 2010. 16S50, 16D80.

Ring Endomorphisms with Large Images

The notion of ring endomorphisms having large images is introduced. Among others, injectivity and surjectivity of such endomorphisms are studied. It is proved, in particular, that an endomorphism σ of a prime one-sided noetherian ringR is injective whenever the image σ(R) contains an essential left ideal L of R. If additionally σ(L) = L, then σ is an automorphism of R. Examples showing that the...
