Relatively semiperfect rings and corank of modules

From MaRDI portal





Let \(R\) be a ring with identity, and let \(\tau\) be a hereditary torsion theory of unital left \(R\)-modules. Let \(Q\) be an injective cogenerator of the class of \(\tau\)-torsionfree modules, and let \(T=\text{End}_ R(Q)\). An \(R\)-module \(M\) is called \(\tau\)-hollow if every submodule of \(M\) is \(\tau\)-small in \(M\); this occurs if and only if \(M^*=\text{Hom}_ R(M,Q)\) is a uniform right \(T\)-module. The \(\tau\)-corank of a module \(M\) is defined and shown to be equal to the uniform dimension of \(M^*\). This fact is used to study modules of finite \(\tau\)-corank and \(\tau\)- semicocritical modules. These developments enable the author to give a new proof of the theorem: if \(R\) has DCC on \(\tau\)-closed left ideals, then \(R\) has ACC on \(\tau\)-closed left ideals. Let \(K(M)\) denote the intersection of the \(\tau\)-critical submodules of the \(R\)-module \(M\). Then \(\tau\) is called corank-quasiperfect if (1) \(K(M)\) is \(\tau\)-small in \(M\) for every \(\tau\)-torsionfree module \(M\) and (2) \(R\) has finite \(\tau\)-corank. The properties of corank-quasiperfect torsion theories are examined. A corank-quasiperfect is called corank-semiperfect if \(R\) is a direct sum of \(\tau\)-corank one modules. If \(\tau\) is a corank- semiperfect exact torsion theory and if \(M\) is a \(\tau\)-torsionfree module of finite \(\tau\)-corank, then \(M\) has a \(\tau\)-projective cover.
