A generalization of Rickart modules.

Abstract: Let

R

be an arbitrary ring with identity and

M

a right

R

-module with

S =

End

_{R} (M)

. In this paper we introduce

p i

-Rickart modules as a generalization of generalized right principally projective rings as well as that of Rickart modules. The module

M

is called {it

p i

-Rickart} if for any

f i n S

, there exist

e^{2} = e i n S

and a positive integer

n

such that

r_{M} (f^{n}) = e M

. We prove that several results of Rickart modules can be extended to

p i

-Rickart modules for this general settings, and investigate relations between a

p i

-Rickart module and its endomorphism ring.
