Automorphism-invariant modules. (Q5920695)

In this paper, the author studies automorphism-invariant modules. He proves that for a ring \(A\), every nonsingular, automorphism-invariant right \(A\)-module is injective if and only if the factor ring \(A/G(A_A)\) is right strongly semiprime where \(G(A_A)\) is the right Goldie radical of the ring \(A\). This result is an improvement of the result of Kutami and Oshiro. He also proves that if \(A\) is a prime ring then every nonsingular, automorphism-invariant right \(A\)-module is quasi-injective. This is an improvement of a result of Er, Singh and Srivastava. To prove these two results, the author derives some properties of a nonsingular, square-free, automorphism-invariant right \(A\)-module for a ring \(A\).
