It is proven that each indecomposable injective module over a valuation domain R is polyserial if and only if each maximal immediate extension R̂ of R is of finite rank over the completion R̃ of R in the R-topology. In this case, for each indecomposable injective module E, the following invariants are finite and equal: its Malcev rank, its Fleischer rank and its dual Goldie dimension. Similar res...

Let $T=\biggl(\begin{matrix} A&0\\U&B\end{matrix}\biggr)$ be a formal triangular matrix ring, where $A$ and $B$ are rings $U$ is $(B, A)$-bimodule. We first give some computing formulas of projective, injective, flat $FP$-injective dimensions special left $T$-modules. Then we establish (weak) global $T$. It proven that (1) If $U_{A}$ $_{B}U$ $lD(A)\neq lD(B)$, then $lD(T)={\rm m...

Recently, Takahashi established a new approximation theory for finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian rings, which unifies the spherical approximation theorem due to Auslander and Bridger and the Cohen–Macaulay approximation theorem due to Auslander and Buchweitz. In this paper we generalize these results to much more general case over non-commutative rings. As an application, w...
