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.

let r be a ring,  be an endomorphism of r and mr be a -rigid module. amodule mr is called quasi-baer if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of r isgenerated by an idempotent. it is shown that an r-module mr is a quasi-baer module if andonly if m[[x]] is a quasi-baer module over the skew power series ring r[[x; ]].

we introduce the notions of t-dual rickart and strongly t-dual rickart modules. we provide several characterizations and investigate properties of each of these concepts. it is shown that every free (resp. finitely generated free) $r$-module is t-dual rickart if and only if $overline{z}^2(r)$ is a  direct summand of $r$ and end$(overline{z}^2(r))$ is a semisimple (resp. regular) ring. it is sho...
