Review text

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring and \(M\) an \(R\)-module. Then \(M\) is said to be {prime} if \(\text{ann}(N)=\text{ann}(M)\) for each submodule \(N\) of \(M\) and a submodule \(N\) of \(M\) is {prime} if \(N\neq M\) and \(rm\in N\) implies \(m\in N\) or \(\in (N:M)\). For \(R\)-modules \(N\) and \(M\), let \(\pi (N,M)=\sum \{\phi (N)| \,\phi \in \text{Hom}(N,M)\}\). Then \(M\) is said to be a \(\pi\){-module} if \(\pi (N,M)=M\) for each nonzero submodule \(N\) of \(M\). \textit{A. G. Naoum} and \textit{F. H. Al-Alwan} [Commun. Algebra 24, 413--424 (1996; Zbl 0864.13008)] showed that a \(\pi\)-module is prime and claimed that a quasi-injective module is a \(\pi\)-module. The present authors correct the proof that a quasi-injective prime module is a \(\pi\)-module and show that an Artinian prime module is a \(\pi\)-module and that for a faithful Artinian multiplication module \(M\), \(M\) is prime if and only if \(R\) is a Dedekind domain. They prove a number of other results including that if \(M\) is a faithful multiplication \(R\)-module and \(N\) is a minimal prime submodule of \(M\), then \((N:M)\) is a minimal prime ideal of \(R\).
