Let \((P,+,\cdot)\) be a commutative semiring with absorbing zero 0 and identity. Moreover, assume that \((P,+)\) is idempotent and that for the semilattice order \(a\leq b\Leftrightarrow a+b=b\) the p.o. set \((P,\leq)\) is totally ordered and conditionally complete, and that \((P\setminus\{0\},\cdot)\) is an integrally closed group. Obvious examples are \((\mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\},\max,+)\) and \((\mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\},\min,+)\) for the real numbers \(\mathbb{R}\). Such semirings \((P,+,\cdot)\) are called pseudorings in the paper and any \(P\)-semimodule \((M,+)\) a pseudomodule. Clearly, \((M,+)\) is then also a semilattice. It is shown that every finite dimensional \(P\)-semimodule \((M,+)\) is a kind of subdirect sum \(M=M_1\widetilde\oplus M_2\) of the so-called semiboolean subsemimodule \(M_1\) and the torsion subsemimodule \(M_2\) of \(M\). Many examples are discussed in detail, especially for dimensions \(n=2,3\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00035].
