A module $M$ is said to be coretractable if there exists a nonzero homomorphism of every nonzero factor of $M$ into $M$. We prove that all right (left) modules over a ring are coretractable if and only if the ring is Morita equivalent to a finite product of local right and left perfect rings.

Primary-like and weakly primary-like submodules are two new generalizations of primary ideals from rings to modules. In fact, the class of primary-like submodules of a module lie between primary submodules and weakly primary-like submodules properly.  In this note, we show that these three classes coincide when their elements are submodules of a multiplication module and satisfy the primeful pr...

let $ m , n in mathbb{n}$, $d$ be a division ring, and $m_{m times n}(d)$ denote the bimodule of all $m times n$ matrices with entries from $d$. first, we characterize one-sided submodules of $m_{m times n}(d)$ in terms of left row reduced echelon or right column reduced echelon matrices with entries from $d$. next, we introduce the notion of a nest module of matrices with entries from $d$. we ...

in this paper we introduce the notion of classical quasi-primary submodules that generalizes the concept of classical primary submodules. then, we investigate decomposition and minimal decomposition into classical quasi-primary submodules. in particular, existence and uniqueness of classical quasi-primary decompositions in finitely generated modules over noetherian rings are proved. moreover, w...

In ring theory, the notion of annihilator is an important tool for studying the structures. Many characterizations and structure theorems can be derived by using this notion. On the other hand, certain classes of rings (e.g., Baer rings and Rickart rings) are defined by considering annihilators ideals. In the present work, we introduce a class of rings which is close to the class of Rickart rin...

In this paper we study almost uniserial rings and modules. An R−module M is called almost uniserial if any two nonisomorphic submodules are linearly ordered by inclusion. A ring R is an almost left uniserial ring if R_R is almost uniserial. We give some necessary and sufficient condition for an Artinian ring to be almost left uniserial.
