On the number of injective indecomposable modules (Q1840610)

Let \(R\) be a valuation ring, i.e., \(R\) is a subring of a skew field \(F\) such that \(a\in F\setminus R\) implies \(a^{-1}\in R\). Let \(E\) be an indecomposable injective right \(R\)-module and denote \(P(E)=\{p\in R\mid\exists 0\neq m\in E\text{ with }mp=0\}\). The authors show that \(P(E)\) is a completely prime ideal of \(R\), the associated prime of \(E\). The main result established by the authors is: For every natural number \(m\), there exists a noncommutative valuation ring \(R\) with a completely prime ideal \(P\) so that there are exactly \(m\) nonisomorphic indecomposable injective right \(R\)-modules with \(P\) as associated prime ideal.
