Abstract

For a commutative unital ring RR with fixed ideals II and JJ, we introduce and study II-prime RR-modules and (I,J)(I, J)-prime RR-modules together with their duals II-coprime RR-modules and (I,J)(I,J)-coprime RR-modules respectively. We employ category-theoretic techniques to reveal their structural properties. Our main results are versions of the Greenlees-May Duality and the Matlis-Greenlees-May Equivalence to the setting of these prime and coprime modules. This generalizes work on II-reduced modules and II-coreduced modules. We demonstrate that these ``locally prime" modules serve as a tool for studying the classical ``globally prime" modules, creating a bridge between local and global primality.
