On \(\oplus\)-supplemented modules (Q1125605)

The authors investigate some kind of generalization of the notion of semisimple modules: given a ring, a module \(M\) is called \(\oplus\)-supplemented if each submodule of \(M\) is a direct summand of \(M\), and \(M\) is called completely \(\oplus\)-supplemented if each direct summand of \(M\) is \(\oplus\)-supplemented. In the paper the following are shown: (1) A finite direct sum of \(\oplus\)-supplemented modules is \(\oplus\)-supplemented. (2) If \(M\) is \(\oplus\)-supplemented and if for two direct summands \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) of \(M\) with \(M=M_1+M_2\) the intersection of \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) is also a direct summand of \(M\), then \(M\) is completely \(\oplus\)-supplemented.
