Generalized lifting modules. (Q2468983)

Summary: We introduce the concepts of lifting modules and (quasi-)discrete modules relative to a given left module. We also introduce the notion of SSRS-modules. It is shown that (1) if \(M\) is an amply supplemented module and \(0\to N'\to N\to N''\to 0\) an exact sequence, then \(M\) is \(N\)-lifting if and only if it is \(N'\)-lifting and \(N''\)-lifting; (2) if \(M\) is a Noetherian module, then \(M\) is lifting if and only if \(M\) is \(R\)-lifting if and only if \(M\) is an amply supplemented SSRS-module; and (3) let \(M\) be an amply supplemented SSRS-module such that \(\text{Rad}(M)\) is finitely generated, then \(M=K\oplus K'\), where \(K\) is a radical module and \(K'\) is a lifting module.
