On a generalization of lifting modules via SSP-modules (Q2119289)

The authors introduce a new generalization of lifting modules and SSP-modules (modules with sum of each two summands is a summand), namely SSP-lifting modules. A module is said to be SSP-lifting, if for every two nonzero direct summands \(K\), \(L\) there exists a direct summand \(L\) of \(M\), such that \((K+N)/L\) is small in \(M/L\). It is shown that every direct summand of an SSP-lifting module inherits the property. The authors provide a condition under which a direct sum of SSP-lifting modules is SSP-lifting. It is proved that the ring of a square matrix \(S_m\), over a right SSP-lifting ring \(S\) is SSP-lifting ring if and only if the free right \(S\)-module \(S^m\) is an SSP-lifting module.
