We give a criterion for the existence of a super-decomposable pure-injective module over an arbitrary serial ring.

It is shown that a ring R is (von Neumann) regular if and only if every cyclic left R-module is GP -injective if and only if R is left PP and left GP -injective. In addition, two examples are given to answer two open questions in the negative. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16E50, 16D60

In this paper we show that a direct decomposition of modules M N, with N homologically independent to the inJective hull of H, is a CS-module if and only if N is injective relative to H and both of M and N are CS-modules. As an application, we prove that a direct sum of a non-singular semisimple module and a quasi-continuous module with zero socle is quasi-continuous. This result is known for q...

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...

Let R be a ring and M a right R-module. M is called n-FP-projective if Ext M N = 0 for any right R-module N of FP-injective dimension ≤n, where n is a nonnegative integer or n = . R M is defined as sup n M is n-FP-projective and R M = −1 if Ext M N = 0 for some FP-injective right R-module N. The right -dimension r -dim R of R is defined to be the least nonnegative integer n such that R M ≥ n im...

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 ...

We develop a suitable version of the stable module category of a finite group G over an arbitrary commutative ring k. The purpose of the construction is to produce a compactly generated triangulated category whose compact objects are the finitely presented kG-modules. The main idea is to form a localisation of the usual version of the stable module category with respect to the filtered colimits...

In this paper we show that a direct decomposition of modules M N, with N homologically independent to the inJective hull of H, is a CS-module if and only if N is injective relative to H and both of M and N are CS-modules. As an application, we prove that a direct sum of a non-singular semisimple module and a quasi-continuous module with zero socle is quasi-continuous. This result is known for q...

Let Λ be an Artinian algebra and F an additive subbifunctor of ExtΛ(−,−) having enough projectives and injectives. We prove that the dualizing subvarieties of mod Λ closed under F -extensions have F -almost split sequences. Let T be an F -cotilting module in mod Λ and S a cotilting module over Γ = End(T ). Then Hom(−, T ) induces a duality between F -almost split sequences in ⊥F T and almost sp...

We investigate the notion of the C-projective dimension of a module, where C is a semidualizing module. When C = R, this recovers the standard projective dimension. We show that three natural definitions of finite Cprojective dimension agree, and investigate the relationship between relative cohomology modules and absolute cohomology modules in this setting. Finally, we prove several results th...
