Two characterizations of pure injective modules

Abstract: Let

R

be a commutative ring with identity and

D

an

R

-module. It is shown that if

D

is pure injective, then

D

is isomorphic to a direct summand of the direct product of a family of finitely embedded modules. As a result, it follows that if

R

is Noetherian, then

D

is pure injective if and only if

D

is isomorphic to a direct summand of the direct product of a family of Artinian modules. Moreover, it is proved that

D

is pure injective if and only if there is a family

{T_{l} a m b d a}_{l a m b d a i n L a m b d a}

of

R

-algebras which are finitely presented as

R

-modules, such that

D

is isomorphic to a direct summand of a module of the form

P i_{l a m b d a i n L a m b d a} E_{l} a m b d a

where for each

l a m b d a i n L a m b d a

,

E_{l} a m b d a

is an injective

T_{l} a m b d a

-module.
