Abstract: As an alternative perspective on the injectivity of a pure-injective module, a pure-injective module M is said to be pi-indigent if its subinjectivity domain is smallest possible, namely, consisting of exactly the absolutely pure modules. A module M is called subinjective relative to a module N if for every extension K of N, every homomorphism N o M can be extended to a homomorphism K o M. The subinjectivity domain of the module M is defined to be the class of modules N such that M is N-subinjective. Basic properties of the subinjectivity domains of pure-injective modules and of pi-indigent modules are studied. The structure of a ring over which every pure-injective (resp. simple, uniform, indecomposable) module is injective or subinjective relative only to the smallest possible family of modules is investigated. This work is a natural continuation to recent papers that have embraced the systematic study of the subinjective and subprojective domains of modules.


The author studies generalisations of the classical injective property of modules. For example, let \(M\) be a pure injective \(R\)-module. The pure-subinjectivity domain of \(M\) is the set of all modules \(N\) such that for all pure extensions \(K\) of \(N\), every \(f\in\mathrm{Hom}(N,M)\) extends to Hom\((K,M)\). \(M\) is indigent pure injective if its sub-injectivity domain is the smallest possible, that is the class of absolutely pure modules. The author studies properties of the pure injectvity domain of pure injective modules and of indigent pure injective modules. He describes the rings over which every simple, uniform or indecomposable pure injective module is indigent pure injective.
