\(I\)-\(n\)-coherent rings, \(I\)-\(n\)-semihereditary rings, and \(I\)-regular rings. (Q2260852): Difference between revisions

If \(R\) denotes a ring with identity and \(n\) a positive integer, then a left \(R\)-module \(M\) is said to be \(I\)-\(n\)-injective if any \(R\)-homomorphism from an \(n\)-generated left ideal \(I\) of \(R\) to \(M\) extends to \(R\). In a similar vein, a right \(R\)-module \(V\) is defined to be \(I\)-\(n\)-flat if the canonical map \(V\otimes T\to V\otimes R\) is monic for every \(n\)-generated left ideal \(T\) of the ideal \(I\) of \(R\). Properties of these two concepts are investigated. A ring \(R\) is defined to be left \(I\)-\(n\)-coherent (resp. \(I\)-\(n\)-semihereditary) if every \(n\)-generated left ideal \(I\) is finitely presented (resp. projective). Furthermore, a ring is called \(I\)-regular if every element in the ideal \(I\) is regular. Many parallels to known results concerning the relationships between coherent, semihereditary and regular rings and flat or injective modules are established with respect to these newly defined concepts.
