A note on \(\oplus\)-cofinitely supplemented modules. (Q925420)

Summary: Let \(R\) be a ring and \(M\) a right \(R\)-module. In this note, we show that a quotient of an \(\oplus\)-cofinitely supplemented module is not in general \(\oplus\)-cofinitely supplemented and prove that if a module \(M\) is an \(\oplus\)-cofinitely supplemented multiplication module with \(\text{Rad}(M)\ll M\), then \(M\) can be written as an irredundant sum of local direct summands of \(M\). As extension of the result of \textit{H. Çalışıcı} and \textit{A. Pancar} [Sib. Mat. Zh. 46, No. 2, 460-465 (2005); translation in Sib. Math. J. 46, No. 2, 359-363 (2005; Zbl 1103.16001)], here it is shown that an arbitrary module is cofinitely semiperfect if and only if it is (amply) cofinitely supplemented by supplements which have projective covers.
