Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring and consider the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive R-modules. We prove that if this set is finite, then either it has exactly one element, represented by the rank 1 free module, or R is Gorenstein and an isolated singularity (if R is complete, then it is even a simple hypersurface singularity). The crux of our proof is to...

we show that every semi-artinian module which is contained in a direct sum of finitely presented modules in $si[m]$, is weakly co-semisimple if and only if it is regular in $si[m]$. as a consequence, we observe that every semi-artinian ring is regular in the sense of von neumann if and only if its simple modules are $fp$-injective.

In this paper we give a criterion for a left Gorenstein algebra to be AS-regular. Let A be a left Gorenstein algebra such that the trivial module Ak admits a finitely generated minimal free resolution. Then A is AS-regular if and only if its left Gorenstein index is equal to− inf{i |ExtA A (k, k)i = 0}. Furthermore, A is Koszul AS-regular if and only if its left Gorenstein index is depthAA = − ...

An R-module M is called epi-retractable if every submodule of MR is a homomorphic image of M. It is shown that if R is a right perfect ring, then every projective slightly compressible module MR is epi-retractable. If R is a Noetherian ring, then every epi-retractable right R-module has direct sum of uniform submodules. If endomorphism ring of a module MR is von-Neumann regular, then M is semi-...

In this paper we study some properties of GC -projective, injective and flat modules, where C is a semidualizing module and we discuss some connections between GC -projective, injective and flat modules , and we consider these properties under change of rings such that completions of rings, Morita equivalences and the localizations.

in this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.
