A ring \(R\) is said to be non-right perfect if there exists a strictly decreasing countably infinite chain of principal left ideals of \(R\). Recall, that a module \(M\) is called dually slender if \(M\) is not expressible as a union of a countably strictly increasing chain of submodules. Since every finitely generated module is obviously dually slender, a ring \(R\) is said to be right steady if each dually slender module is finitely generated. In the first section a survey of the structure theory of dually slender modules and of steady rings is presented. In the second part the strongly uniform and narrow modules are introduced as duals of \(\kappa\)-free modules and their (dual) \(\Gamma\)-invariants are defined. It is shown that over a commutative ring \(R\) every strongly uniform module of dimension \(\kappa>1\) is narrow (Theorem 2.10) and that over a ring with right Krull dimension every strongly uniform module of regular uncountable dimension is narrow (Theorem 2.12). The strongly uniform modules over commutative Noetherian rings are characterised in Theorem 2.8. In the brief third section some open problems are formulated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00039].
