Review text

Let \(R\) be an associative ring with non-zero unity and let \(M\) be a unitary left \(R\)-module. It is said that the module \(M\) is discrete if it satisfies the following conditions: (i) For every submodule \(N\) of \(M\), there is a decomposition \(M=A\oplus B\), where \(A\leq N\) and \(N\cap B\) is a small submodule of \(M\); (ii) If \(N\) is a submodule of \(M\) with \(M/N\) isomorphic to a direct summand of \(M\), then \(N\) is a direct summand of \(M\). The author proves the following theorem: If \(M\) is a discrete \(R\)-module with \(S=\text{End}_RM\) and \(J(S)\) is the Jacobson radical of \(S\), then \(S/J(S)\) is isomorphic to a direct product of full linear rings. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00051].
