Abstract: We give a characterization, in terms of Galois infinite comatrix corings, of the corings that decompose as a direct sum of left comodules which are finitely generated as left modules. Then we show that the associated rational functor is exact. This is the case of a right semiperfect coring which is locally projective and whose Galois comodule is a projective left unital module with superfluous radical.


Let \(K\) be a commutative ring, \(A\) a \(K\)-algebra and \(\mathcal C\) a coring. The authors obtain several characterizations of the fact that the coring decomposes as a direct sum of finitely generated projective, as \(A\)-module, left subcomodules. In particular, this property is equivalent to the fact that the coring is projective as left \(A\)-module and there exists a set, \(\mathbf P\), of small projectives in the category of right \(\mathcal C\)-comodules verifying that its direct sum admits a decomposition of finitely generated \(R\)-submodules, where \(R=\bigoplus_{P,Q\in\mathbf P}\Hom_{\mathcal C}(P,Q)\). This result is a generalization of a classical characterization of right semiperfect coalgebras. Moreover, it is shown that for the preceding type of corings the rational functor is exact. In the last section, right semiperfect corings (i.e. every finitely generated right \(\mathcal C\)-comodule has a projective cover) and the case when the set \(\mathbf P\) has a unique element are studied.
