Abstract
An -module is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if any epic (monic) endomorphism of is an automorphism. If is commutative Noetherian, we characterize the co-Hopfian injective -modules, and the Hopfian injectives in the case that is also reduced. For a commutative Artinian principal ideal ring, we show that is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if and only if is finitely generated if and only if its injective envelope is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if and only if is finitely generated. We identify the obstacle to generalizing this result to arbitrary Artinian principal ideal rings.
