Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by $${\textsf{mod }}\,R$$ the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study n-torsionfree modules in sense Auslander and Bridger, comparing them with n-syzygy modules, satisfying Serre’s condition $$(\mathrm {S}_n)$$ . We mainly investigate closedness properties full subcategories consisting those modules.
