Abstract: We study the existence of maximal ideals in preadditive categories defining an order $preceq$ between objects, in such a way that if there do not exist maximal objects with respect to $preceq$, then there is no maximal ideal in the category. In our study, it is sometimes sufficient to restrict our attention to suitable subcategories. We give an example of a category $mathbf{C}_F$ of modules over a right noetherian ring $R$ in which there is a unique maximal ideal. The category $mathbf{C}_F$ is related to an indecomposable injective module $F$, and the objects of $mathbf{C}_F$ are the $R$-modules of finite $F$-rank.

Review text

\textit{A. Facchini} proved [Contemp. Math. 480, 139--151 (2009; Zbl 1196.16002)] that the simple modules over a ring \(R\) correspond bijectively to the minimal ideals in the module category. In the paper under review, it is shown that module categories (more generally: Grothendieck categories) are ``big in the sense that there are no maximal ideals. The proof introduces a partial order on the objects which allows to built strictly increasing chains of ideals. The partial order is then applied to more general preadditive categories.
