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 submodul...

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,...

we show that every semi-artinian module which is contained in a direct sum of finitely presented modules in $si[m]$, is weakly co-semisimple if and only if it is regular in $si[m]$. as a consequence, we observe that every semi-artinian ring is regular in the sense of von neumann if and only if its simple modules are $fp$-injective.

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...

Let M be a graded leftA-module and M∗ the associate complex of M. Then : If is noetherian (resp. artinian) then strongly hopfian cohopfian); cohopfian), leftA-module, M, N submodule N∗ fully invariant subcomplex M∗. M∗/N∗ hopfian, hopfian. if all cohopfian, cohopfian.

This paper investigates the preservation of hopficity and co-hopficity on passing to finite-index subsemigroups and extensions. It was already known that hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Rees index subsemigroups, even in the finitely generated case. We give a stronger example to show that it is not preserved even in the finitely presented case. It was also known that hopficity is...
