On strongly regular modules and rings (Q1293611)

A right \(R\)-module \(M\) is said to be weakly regular (strongly regular, respectively) if for each submodule \(N\) of the module \(M\), \(N\nsubseteq J(M)\), there exists a submodule \(Q\) of the module \(N\) such that \(Q\not\subset J(M)\) and \(M=Q\oplus Q'\) (\(M=N\oplus Q'\), respectively). A ring \(R\) is said to be weakly regular (strongly regular) if, being considered as a right \(R\) module, it is weakly regular (strongly regular, respectively). A right \(R\)-module \(M\) is said to be \(n\)-regular if its submodule \(N\), generated by \(n\) elements and \(N\not\subset J(M)\), is a direct summand of the module \(M\). Theorem 1. If a right \(R\)-module \(M\) is 2-regular, \(M\neq 0\), then either \(M=J(M)\), or \(J(M)=0\), or \(M\) is local. Vice versa, if \(M\) is a 1-regular right \(R\)-module satisfying one of the previous restrictions upon the module \(M\), then \(M\) is a 2-regular right \(R\)-module.
