Abstract: We will prove that if G and H are modules over a principal ideal domain R such that the endomorphism rings mathrmEndR(RoplusG) and mathrmEndR(RoplusH) are isomorphic then GcongH. Conversely, if R is a Dedekind domain such that two R-modules G and H are isomorphic whenever the rings mathrmEndR(RoplusG) and mathrmEndR(RoplusH) are isomorphic then R is a PID.


The author proves the following interesting result: Theorem 2.1. Let \(R\) be a Dedekind domain. The following are equivalent: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[-] \(R\) is a principal ideal domain. \item [-] If \(G\) and \(H\) are \(R\)-modules such that \(\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus G)\cong \mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus H)\) (as ring), then \(G\) and \(H\) are isomorphic. \end{itemize}}
