a module m is called epi-retractable if every submodule of m is a homomorphic image of m. dually, a module m is called co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of each of its factor modules. in special case, a ring r is called co-pli (resp. co-pri) if rr (resp. rr) is co-epi-retractable. it is proved that if r is a left principal right duo ring, then every left ideal of r is an epi-retractable ...

Let $mathcal {A}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and $mathcal {X}$ be a full subcategory of $mathcal {A}$. We define Gorenstein projective objects with respect to $mathcal {X}$ and $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$, respectively, where $mathcal{Y}_{mathcal{X}}$=${ Yin Ch(mathcal {A})| Y$ is acyclic and $Z_{n}Yinmathcal{X}}$. We point out that under certain hypotheses, these two G...

For a finite dimensional algebra A over an algebraically closed field, let T (A) denote the trivial extension of A by its minimal injective cogenerator bimodule. We prove that, if TA is a tilting module and B = EndTA, then T (A) is tame if and only if T (B) is tame. Introduction. Let k be an algebraically closed field. In this paper, an algebra A is always assumed to be associative, with an ide...

One of the earliest theorems in category theory stated that an abelian category could be represented faithfully by exact functors into the category Ab of abelian groups [Freyd, 1964], [Lubkin, 1961] and [Heron, unpublished]. Then Mitchell [1965] showed that every such category had a full exact embedding into a module category. An equivalent formulation is that every abelian category into a cate...

let $mathcal {a}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and $mathcal {x}$ be a full subcategory of $mathcal {a}$. we define gorenstein projective objects with respect to $mathcal {x}$ and $mathcal{y}_{mathcal{x}}$, respectively, where $mathcal{y}_{mathcal{x}}$=${ yin ch(mathcal {a})| y$ is acyclic and $z_{n}yinmathcal{x}}$. we point out that under certain hypotheses, these two g...

This paper extends and generalizes recent results on the characterization and parametrization of observers for linear systems in the behavioral framework. We formulate the results in the language of quotient signal modules that was developed by Oberst and first used in the context of observer theory by the first author. The resulting characterization of observers in terms of a generalized inter...
