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 find a bound for the Goldie dimension of hereditary modules in terms of the cardinality of the generator sets of its quasi-injective hull. Several consequences are deduced. In particular, it is shown that every right hereditary module with countably generated quasi-injective hull is noetherian. Or that every right hereditary ring with finitely generated injective hull is artinian, thus answe...

Over commutative graded local artinian rings, examples are constructed of periodic modules of arbitrary minimal period and modules with bounded Betti numbers, which are not eventually periodic. They provide counterexamples to a conjecture of D. Eisenbud, that every module with bounded Betti numbers over a commutative local ring is eventually periodic of period 2 . It is proved however, that the...

Suppose R and S are local rings and (R,m) → (S,n) is a flat local homomorphism. Given a finitely generated S-module N , we say N is extended (from R) provided there is an R-module M such that S ⊗R M is isomorphic to N as an S-module. If such a module M exists, it is unique up to isomorphism (cf. [EGA, (2.5.8)], and it is necessarily finitely generated. The m-adic completion R → R̂ and the Hensel...

we show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. as aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. this generalizes and simplifies a result of  dung and   smith. as another consequen...

An R-module M is called strongly noncosingular if it has no nonzero Rad-small (cosingular) homomorphic image in the sense of Harada. It is proven that (1) an R-module M is strongly noncosingular if and only if M is coatomic and noncosingular; (2) a right perfect ring R is Artinian hereditary serial if and only if the class of injective modules coincides with the class of (strongly) noncosingula...
