The notion of ring endomorphisms having large images is introduced. Among others, injectivity and surjectivity of such endomorphisms are studied. It is proved, in particular, that an endomorphism σ of a prime one-sided noetherian ringR is injective whenever the image σ(R) contains an essential left ideal L of R. If additionally σ(L) = L, then σ is an automorphism of R. Examples showing that the...

Several results about the multiplicities of indecomposable injectives in the minimal injective resolution of a ring exist in the literature. Mostly these apply to universal enveloping algebras of finite dimensional solvable Lie algebras, and to Gorenstein noetherian PI local rings. We unify these results and extend them to the much wider class of rings with Auslander dualizing complexes.

We recall a version of the Osofsky-Smith theorem in the context of a Grothendieck category and derive several consequences of this result. For example, it is deduced that every locally finitely generated Grothendieck category with a family of completely injective finitely generated generators is semisimple. We also discuss the torsion-theoretic version of the classical Osofsky theorem which cha...

An easy consequence of this is that a left Noetherian (respectively left Artinian) ring which is finitely generated over its center is right Noetherian (respectively right Artinian). Theorem 1 follows easily from Theorem 2, which gives a partial converse to the following standard fact: IfR C S are rings, and ifQ is an injective R-module, then Hom~(S, Q) is an injective S-module (this follows, f...

The so-called ’change-of-ring’ results are well-known expressions which present several connections between projective, injective and flat dimensions over the various base rings. In this note we extend these results to the Gorenstein dimensions over Cohen-Macaulay local rings.

We show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of  Dung and   Smith. As another consequen...
