\(\aleph\)-products of modules and splitness (Q1860939)

For an infinite cardinal number \(\aleph\) the \(\aleph\)-product of a family of left \(R\)-modules is the submodule \(\prod_I^\aleph M_i=\{x\in\prod_IM_i\mid|\text{supp }x|<\aleph\}\), where \(\text{supp }x=\{\alpha\in I\mid x_\alpha\neq 0\}\). Conditions are found for the exact sequence \(0\to\prod_I^\aleph M_\alpha@>\lambda>>\prod_IM_\alpha\to\text{Coker }\lambda\to 0\) to be splitting or locally splitting. The notion of the \(\aleph\)-product is of course a generalization of a direct sum and thus some of the results are generalizations of results of \textit{P. Loustaunau} [Commun. Algebra 17, No. 1, 197-215 (1989; Zbl 0664.16019)] and \textit{B. Sarath} and \textit{K. Varadarajan} [Commun. Algebra 1, 517-530 (1974; Zbl 0285.16022)]. For a regular cardinal \(\aleph\) the above exact sequence is shown to split for any family of injective modules \(\{M_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in I}\) if and only if \(R\) is a left \(\aleph\)-ACC ring. Injectivity of \(\prod_I^\aleph M\) for an injective left \(R\)-module \(M\) is shown to be equivalent to \(M\) having \(\aleph\)-ACC on annihilators.
