An extension of S-artinian rings and modules to a hereditary torsion theory setting

Ranks of modules relative to a torsion theory

Relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $M$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $M$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $M$ whenever $tau$ is the Goldie torsion theory. It is shown that the $tau$-rank of $M$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $M$. Moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $M$ and c...

–supplemented Modules Relative to a Torsion Theory

Let R be ring and M a right R-module. This article introduces the concept of τ −⊕-supplemented modules as follows: Given a hereditary torsion theory in Mod-R with associated torsion functor τ we say that a module M is τ −⊕-supplemented when for every submodule N of M there exists a direct summand K of M such that M = N +K and N ∩K is τ−torsion, and M is called completely τ −⊕-supplemented if ev...

Artinian and Noetherian Rings

Artinian Band Sums of Rings

Band sums of associative rings were introduced by Weissglass in 1973. The main theorem claims that the support of every Artinian band sum of rings is finite. This result is analogous to the well-known theorem on Artinian semigroup rings. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 16P20, 16W50; secondary 20M25. Let B be a band, that is, a semigroup consisting of idempoten...
