Rings whose injective hulls are cogenerators (Q1271970)

Let \(R\) be an associative ring with \(1\), and assume that \(R\) is right noetherian. The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions under which \(R\) is right artinian, in terms of the existence of nonzero linear maps from an arbitrary nonzero (right) \(R\)-module into a projective or flat module. This paper is motivated by similar results of \textit{J. Xu} [Commun. Algebra 22, No. 3, 905-914 (1994; Zbl 0801.13003)] on commutative rings. The proof relies on the investigation of rings \(R\) for which the injective hull of \(R\) is a cogenerator.
