a module is said to be $pi$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. in this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $pi$-extending modules. to this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...

Let $R$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $M$ a right $R$-module with $S=$ End$_R(M)$. The module $M$ is called {it Rickart} if for any $fin S$, $r_M(f)=Se$ for some $e^2=ein S$. We prove that some results of principally projective rings and Baer modules can be extended to Rickart modules for this general settings.

 In this paper, a new homological dimension of modules, copresented dimension, is defined. We study some basic properties of this homological dimension. Some ring extensions are considered, too. For instance, we prove that if $Sgeq R$ is a finite normalizing extension and $S_R$ is a projective module, then for each right $S$-module $M_S$, the copresented dimension of $M_S$ does not exceed the c...

‎we say that a module $m$ is a emph{cms-module} if‎, ‎for every cofinite submodule $n$ of $m$‎, ‎there exist submodules $k$ and $k^{'}$ of $m$ such that $k$ is a supplement of $n$‎, ‎and $k$‎, ‎$k^{'}$ are mutual supplements in $m$‎. ‎in this article‎, ‎the various properties of cms-modules are given as a generalization of $oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎we prove tha...

let $r$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=$ end$_r(m)$. the module $m$ is called {it rickart} if for any $fin s$, $r_m(f)=se$ for some $e^2=ein s$. we prove that some results of principally projective rings and baer modules can be extended to rickart modules for this general settings.

This theorem, already known for finitely generated projective modules[l, I, Proposition 6.1], has been recently proved for arbitrary projective modules over commutative semi-hereditary rings by I. Kaplansky [2], who raised the problem of extending it to the noncommutative case. We recall two results due to Kaplansky: Any projective module (over an arbitrary ring) is a direct sum of countably ge...

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 nd the relationships between module contractibility of abanach algebra and its ideals. we also prove that module contractibility ofa banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents e is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product ...

If R is a ring of coefficients and G a finite group, then a flat RG-module which is projective as an R-module is necessarily projective as an RG-module. More generally, if H is a subgroup of finite index in an arbitrary group Γ, then a flat RΓmodule which is projective as an RH-module is necessarily projective as an RΓ-module. This follows from a generalization of the first theorem to modules o...

Let R be a unital semi-simple commutative complex Banach algebra, and let M(R) denote its maximal ideal space, equipped with the Gelfand topology. Sufficient topological conditions are given on M(R) for R to be a projective free ring, that is, a ring in which every finitely generated projective R-module is free. Several examples are included, notably the Hardy algebra H∞(X) of bounded holomorph...
