Endoproperties of modules and local duality. (Q2460821)

Let \(_RN\) be a module and \(S=\text{End}_R(N)\). By endoproperties are meant the properties of \(N\) as a right module over \(S\). In this paper the endoproperties are studied using the local dual \(D(N)_R=\Hom_S(N_S,C_S)\), where \(C_S\) is a minimal injective cogenerator of \(\text{Mod}(S)\). The main results are the following: 1. If \(R\) is a ring and \(N=\bigoplus_{i\in I}N_i\) is a direct sum of finitely presented left \(R\)-modules \(N_i\), then the lattice of endosubmodules of \(N\) is anti-isomorphic to the lattices of matrix subgroups of \(D(N)\) and of \(M=\bigoplus_{i\in I}D(N_i)\). The module \(N\) is endo-Noetherian if and only if \(M\) is \(\Sigma\)-pure-injective. 2. If \(R\) is a Krull-Schmidt ring and \(M_R\) is an indecomposable pure-injective endo-Noetherian right \(R\)-module that is the source of a left almost split morphism in \(\text{Mod}(R)\), then \(M\) is endofinite. 3. A ring \(R\) is of finite representation type if and only if every pure-injective right \(R\)-module is endo-Noetherian.
