On general principally injective rings (Q4241645)

A ring \(R\) is called right principally injective (right P-injective) provided \(R_R\) is injective with respect to all its principal right ideals. Further, \(R\) is right GP-injective provided each element \(a\in R\) has a nonzero power \(a^n\) such that \(R_R\) is injective with respect to \(a^nR\). The authors develop various results about GP-injective rings, some extending known work on P-injective rings by \textit{V. P. Camillo} [Port. Math. 46, No. 1, 33-37 (1989; Zbl 0668.13007)], \textit{W. K. Nicholson} and \textit{M. F. Yousif} [J. Algebra 174, No. 1, 77-93 (1995; Zbl 0839.16004)], or \textit{E. A. Rutter} jun. [Commun. Algebra 3, 203-212 (1975; Zbl 0298.16015)]. For example: (1) If \(R\) is a right Kasch, right GP-injective ring, the maximal right ideals of \(R\) are in bijection with the minimal left ideals via annihilators; moreover, the right and left socles of \(R\) coincide, as do the right and left singular ideals. (2) If \(R\) is a right GP-injective ring with ACC on right annihilators, then \(R\) is left Artinian, and it is right Artinian provided \(\text{Soc }R_R\) is finitely generated on the right. (3) If \(R\) is right duo and right GP-injective, then any uniform right ideal of \(R\) not contained in \(J(R)\) is generated by a central idempotent.
