Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(M,N)$ in certain Serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. We define and study the properti...

In this handout we will briefly explore the topic of projective modules in a bit more detail than we covered in class. Throughout R is a commutative ring. Recall that, by definition, a projective module is an R-module that is a direct summand of a free R-module. As mentioned in class, if the ring R is decomposable, e.g., R = R1 ⊕R2 is a direct sum of rings, then there are many examples of non-f...

Let $M$ be a right module over a ring $R$, $tau_M$ a preradical on $sigma[M]$, and$Ninsigma[M]$. In this note we show that if $N_1, N_2in sigma[M]$ are two$tau_M$-lifting modules such that $N_i$ is $N_j$-projective ($i,j=1,2$), then $N=N_1oplusN_2$ is $tau_M$-lifting. We investigate when homomorphic image of a $tau_M$-lifting moduleis $tau_M$-lifting.

The category gp ( Λ ) of Gorenstein-projective modules over tensor algebra = A ⊗ k B can be described as the monomorphism mon , . In particular, Λ-modules are monic. this paper, we find similar relation between semi-Gorenstein-projective and -modules, via monic modules, namely, ⊥ ∩ Using this, it is proved that if weakly Gorenstein, then Gorenstein only each monic; Q with a finite acyclic quive...
