\(GF\)-regular modules. (Q2375612)

Summary: We introduce and study \(GF\)-regular modules as a generalization of \(\pi\)-regular rings to modules as well as regular modules (in the sense of Fieldhouse). An \(R\)-module \(M\) is called \(GF\)-regular if for each \(x\in M\) and \(r\in R\), there exist \(t\in R\) and a positive integer \(n\) such that \(r^ntr^nx=r^nx\). The notion of \(G\)-pure submodules is introduced to generalize pure submodules and proved that an \(R\)-module \(M\) is \(GF\)-regular if and only if every submodule of \(M\) is \(G\)-pure iff \(M_{\mathfrak M}\) is a \(GF\)-regular \(R_{\mathfrak M}\)-module for each maximal ideal \(\mathfrak M\) of \(R\). Many characterizations and properties of \(GF\)-regular modules are given. An \(R\)-module \(M\) is \(GF\)-regular iff \(R/\text{ann}(x)\) is a \(\pi\)-regular ring for each \(0\neq x\in M\) iff \(R/\text{ann}(M)\) is a \(\pi\)-regular ring for finitely generated module \(M\). If \(M\) is a \(GF\)-regular module, then \(J(M)=0\).
