By the time of Google Books and the associated author lawsuits, ca 2005, we learned that publishers wished to restrict “nonconsumptive use” of scholarly cont...

‎A module $M$ is called FI-extending if every fully invariant submodule of $M$ is essential in a direct summand of $M$‎. ‎It is not known whether a direct summand of an FI-extending module is also FI-extending‎. ‎In this study‎, ‎it is given some answers to the question that under what conditions a direct summand of an FI-extending module is an FI-extending module?

Four clusters were discovered: (a) a Highly Distressed group, whose members had ...
