Rings Whose CS Modules Are Countably Σ-CS (Q4429459)

A module \(M\) is called a CS-module if every submodule of \(M\) is essential in a direct summand of \(M\), and \(M\) is said to be (countably) \(\Sigma\)-CS whenever each (countable) direct sum of copies of \(M\) is CS. The author takes as a starting point for this article the known fact that, if \(R\) is a ring such that all CS right \(R\)-modules are \(\Sigma\)-CS, then \(R\) is right Artinian and all uniform right \(R\)-modules are \(\Sigma\)-quasi-injective. Here, rings \(R\) such that each CS right \(R\)-module is countably \(\Sigma\)-CS are considered, and it is shown that they are right semi-Artinian with all uniform right \(R\)-modules \(\Sigma\)-quasi-injective. Moreover, it is also shown that if, in addition, \(R\) has finitely generated right socle, then \(R\) is actually a right Artinian ring.
