On semiperfect, miniinjective rings with essential socles. (Q874862)

The concept of miniinjectivity was first introduced by \textit{M. Harada} [Osaka J. Math. 19, 587-597 (1982; Zbl 0495.16022)] and was used to give a characterization of quasi-Frobenius rings. A right \(R\)-module \(M\) is said to be miniinjective if every homomorphism \(f\colon I\to M\) can be extended to a homomorphism \(h\colon R\to M\) for every minimal right ideal \(I\) in \(R\). In the paper under review, the study of miniinjectivity is continued. Several lemmas are obtained, some of which are generalizations of, or related to, known results. The main theorem shows that a ring \(R\) is quasi-Frobenius if and only if \(R\) is a right semiperfect, right miniinjective ring with \(\text{Soc}(R_R)\) essential in \(R_R\) and with ACC on right annihilators.
