Abstract

Let RR be a ring. RR is called a right countably Σ\Sigma-C2 ring if every countable direct sum copies of RRR_{R} is a C2 module. The following are equivalent for a ring RR: (1) RR is a right countably Σ\Sigma-C2 ring. (2) The column finite matrix ring CFMN(R)\mathbb{C}\mathbb{F}\mathbb{M}_{\mathbb{N}}(R) is a right C2 (or C3) ring. (3) Every countable direct sum copies of RRR_{R} is a C3 module. (4) Every projective right RR-module is a C2 (or C3) module. (5) RR is a right perfect ring and every finite direct sum copies of RRR_{R} is a C2 (or C3) module. This shows that right countably Σ\Sigma-C2 rings are just the rings whose right finitistic projective dimension rFPD(R)FPD(R)=sup\{PdR(M)Pd_{R}(M)| MM is a right RR-module with PdR(M)<Pd_{R}(M)<\infty\}=0, which were introduced by Hyman Bass in 1960.
