A characterisation of reflexive modules

From MaRDI portal





A ring \(R\) is said to be left \(\text{QF-}3\) when each finitely generated submodule of \(E({_RR})\) is torsionless. It is known that if \(R\) is left \(\text{QF-}3\) and \(X\) is a Lambek-linearly compact \(R\)-module, then \(X\) is reflexive if and only if \(R\text{-dom.}\dim X\geq 2\). However, the \(\mathbb{Z}\)-module \(\mathbb{Z}^{(\mathbb{N})}\) provides an example of a reflexive module over a \(\text{QF-}3\) ring which is not Lambek-linearly compact. In this paper, as a corollary of a more general result, the authors then shown that if \(R\) is left \(\text{QF-}3\) and \(X\) a left \(R\)-module, \(X\) is reflexive if and only if \(X\) is Lambek-weakly linearly compact and \(R\text{-dom.}\dim X\geq 2\). Here \(X\) is Lambek-weakly linearly compact when the cokernel of the inverse limit of every \(R\)-complete inverse system \(\{p_i\colon X\to X_i\}_I\) in \(R\)-mod such that the \(X_i\) are torsionless and \(\text{Coker }p_i\) is Lambek-torsion is also Lambek-torsion.
