Rings whose cyclic modules are direct sums of extending modules.

From MaRDI portal





This paper studies rings each of whose cyclic modules is a direct sum of CS (also known as extending) modules. The origin of this tradition can be drawn back to the celebrated characterization due to \textit{B. L. Osofsky} of semisimple rings as those rings for which each cyclic right module is injective [Pac. J. Math. 14, 645-650 (1964; Zbl 0145.26601)]. Osofsky's result was extended by \textit{B. L. Osofsky} and \textit{P. F. Smith} [J. Algebra 139, No. 2, 342-354 (1991; Zbl 0737.16001)] who proved that a cyclic module whose cyclic subfactors are CS has finite Goldie dimension.NEWLINENEWLINE The authors of the paper under review show that a cyclic module with every cyclic subfactor a direct sum of CS modules has finite Goldie dimension. Among other things, the paper also studies structure of rings whose cyclic modules are direct sums of CS or quasi-injective modules.
