On rings over which each module has a maximal submodule

From MaRDI portal





Let \(R\) be an associative ring with identity. All modules are unital. A left \(R\)-module \(M\) is called max if every non-zero submodule has a maximal submodule. \(R\) is said to be a left max ring if every left \(R\)-module is max. \(R\) is said to be of bounded index if there is an integer \(n\geq 1\) such that \(x^n=0\) whenever \(x\) is a nilpotent element of \(R\). The ring \(R\) is said to be strongly \(\pi\)-regular if for each element \(a\) of \(R\), there exists a positive integer \(k\) such that \(a^kR=a^{k+1}R\). For a left \(R\)-module \(M\), by \(J(M)\) is denoted the Jacobson radical of \(M\). The main results established by the author are: 1) Let \(R\) be a ring with primitive factor rings Artinian and suppose that the factor ring of \(R\) by any minimal prime ideal has bounded index. If \(R\) is left max, then \(R\) is strongly \(\pi\)-regular; 2) Let \(R\) be a ring with primitive factor rings Artinian. Then the following statements are equivalent: (i) \(R\) is left perfect. (ii) \(R\) is a left max ring with no infinite set of orthogonal idempotents, and \(R/J(R)\) is of bounded index.
