Rings with zero intersection property on annihilators: zip rings (Q914804)

A ring \(R\) is said to be a right zip ring if \(R\) has the following property: if the right annihilator \(X^\perp\) of a subset \(X\) of \(R\) is zero, then \(X^\perp_1=0\) for a finite subset \(X_1\subseteq X\). A ring \(R\) is said to be FPF if every finitely generated faithful module generates mod-\(R\). Some of the results established by the author are: 1) \(R\) is a right zip ring iff every injective right module \(E\) is divisible by every left ideal \(L\) such that \(L^\perp=0\). Thus \(E=EL\); 2) A left and right self-injective ring \(R\) is zip iff \(R\) is pseudo-Frobenius; 3) A semiprime commutative ring \(R\) is zip iff \(R\) is Goldie; 4) Let \(R\) be a commutative ring. If \(R\) has a local quotient ring \(Q=Q_c(R)\), and if \(R\) is an FPF zip ring, then \(Q\) is pseudo-Frobenius.
