Nil semigroups of endomorphism rings of modules with chain conditions (Q4944387)

Let \(\tau\) be a torsion theory on the category of modules over a ring \(R\). It is shown that, if a module \(M\) is \(\tau\)-torsion free and \(\tau\)-Artinian (or \(\tau\)-Noetherian) then every nil subsemigroup of the endomorphism ring \(\text{End}(M)\) of \(M\) is nilpotent. Moreover, the nilpotency index is bounded by a constant depending on the \(\tau\)-Goldie (\(\tau\)-dual Goldie, respectively) dimension of \(M\) and on the nilpotency index of a certain nilpotent ideal of \(\text{End}(M)\). This extends several classical results on the nilpotency of nil subsemigroups of endomorphism rings of modules with finiteness conditions.
