Preinjective modules over pure semisimple rings. (Q2475117)

Let \(R\) be a left pure semisimple ring (i.e. any left \(R\)-module is a direct sum of finitely generated modules). It is proved that the local duality establishes a bijection between the preinjective left \(R\)-modules and the preprojective right \(R\)-modules. The authors prove that any preinjective left \(R\)-module is the source of a left almost split morphism and is endofinite. Similar results on preinjective left \(R\)-modules over hereditary left pure semisimple rings \(R\) were obtained by Angeleri Hügel and Valenta. As a consequence the authors show that any direct sum of preinjective left \(R\)-modules is endo-Artinian. Moreover the authors extend the result of Huisgen-Zimmermann asserting that \(R\) is of finite representation type if and only if any product of preinjective left \(R\)-modules is a direct sum of preinjective left \(R\)-modules. In the paper it is proved that if there are no nonzero homomorphisms from preinjective modules to non-preinjective indecomposable modules, then the direct sum of all non-isomorphic indecomposable non-preinjective direct summands of products of preinjective left \(R\)-modules is a finitely generated product-complete left \(R\)-module. This result generalizes Angeleri Hügel's theorem.
