‎let $r$ be a domain with quotiont field $k$‎, ‎and‎ ‎let $n$ be a submodule of an $r$-module $m$‎. ‎we say that $n$ is‎ ‎powerful (strongly primary) if $x,yin k$ and‎ ‎$xymsubseteq n$‎, ‎then $xin r$ or $yin r$ ($xmsubseteq n$‎ ‎or $y^nmsubseteq n$ for some $ngeq1$)‎. ‎we show that a submodule‎ ‎with either of these properties is comparable to every prime‎ ‎submodule of $m$‎, ‎also we show tha...

We call a module  essentially retractable if HomR for all essential submodules N of M. For a right FBN ring R, it is shown that: (i)  A non-zero module  is retractable (in the sense that HomR for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of M are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over R modulo their annihilators. (ii)  A non-zero module  is essentially retractable if and on...

We describe a correspondence (or duality) between the q-characters of finite-dimensional representations of a quantum affine algebra and its Langlands dual in the spirit of [6, 4]. We prove this duality for the Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules. In the course of the proof we introduce and construct “interpolating (q, t)-characters” depending on two parameters which interpolate between the q-characte...

We extend the Larson–Sweedler theorem for weak Hopf algebras by proving that a finite dimensional weak bialgebra is a weak Hopf algebra iff it possesses a non-degenerate left integral. We establish the autonomous monoidal category of the modules of a weak Hopf algebra A and show the semisimplicity of the unit and the invertible modules of A. We also reveal the connection of these modules to lef...

In this note we introduce and investigate the concepts of dual entwining structures and dual entwined modules. This generalizes the concepts of dual Doi-Koppinen structures and dual Doi-Koppinen modules introduced (in the infinite case over rings) by the author is his dissertation.
