Let \(R\) and \(S\) be rings with identity. The duality between a full subcategory of the category \(R\)-\(T\)Mod of topological left \(R\)-modules and a full subcategory of Mod-\(S\) has been studied by many authors and, in particular, \textit{J. Zelmanowitz} and \textit{W. Jansen} [J. Algebra 125, 257-277 (1989; Zbl 0689.16009)] have proved that, under a few conditions, such a duality is a restriction of the natural duality between the full subcategories \(\hbox{Ref}(_ RQ)\) and \(\hbox{Ref}(Q_ S)\) of \(Q\)- reflexive modules of \(R\)-\(T\)Mod and Mod-\(S\), given by the functors \(C\hbox{Hom}_ R(-,Q)\) and \(\hbox{Hom}_ S(-,Q)\), where \(Q\) is an \((R,S)\)-bimodule such that \(_ RQ\) is a topological left module and each element of \(S\) defines a continuous \(R\)-endomorphism. The particular case where \(\hbox{Ref}(Q_ S)=\hbox{Cogen}(Q_ S)\) was already investigated by some authors and in the paper under review necessary and sufficient conditions are shown for having such dualities for the cases where \(\hbox{Ref}(Q_ S)=\hbox{Cogen}(Q_ S)\) and \(\hbox{Ref}(Q_ S)=\hbox{Mod-}S\). As an application the global and weak dimensions of the ring of continuous endomorphisms of \(_ RQ\) are also investigated.
