F-semi-perfect modules (Q753909)

Since the appearance of Bass' fundamental article on semiperfect and perfect rings [\textit{H. Bass}: Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 95, 466-488 (1960; Zbl 0094.022)], his results have widely been generalized and paraphrased under various aspects. In the present paper a further variant is added. Generalizing the notion of an F-semiperfect ring due to \textit{U. Oberst} and \textit{H.-J. Schneider} [Invent. Math. 13, 295-304 (1971; Zbl 0232.16020)] which in turn generalizes Bass' notion of a semiperfect ring, the author calls a module F-semiperfect, if it is projective and if the cokernel of each of its endomorphisms has a projective cover. Then, rather along the lines of the relevant chapter of the book [\textit{F. Kasch}: Modules and Rings (Lond. Math. Soc. Monogr. 17, 1982; Zbl 0523.16001)] a number of results are proved for these modules, for instance that a module is F-semiperfect iff its endomorphism ring has this property.
