Abstract

Let M M\ be a module over a domain RR and M#={0mM:RmM}M^{\#}=\{0\neq m\in M:Rm\neq M\} be the set of all nonzero nongenerators of M. M.\ Consider following equivalence relation \sim on M#M^{\#} as follows: for every m,nM#, mnm,n\in M^{\#},\ m\sim n if and only if Rm=Rn. Rm=Rn.\ Let EC(M#)EC(M^{\#}) be the set of all equivalence classes of M#M^{\#} with respect to \sim. In this paper, we construct a topology on EC(M#)EC(M^{\#}) which is called divisor topology of M M\ and denoted by D(M).D(M). Actually, D(M)D(M) is extension of the divisor topology D(R)D(R) over domains in the sense of Yi\u{g}it and Koc to modules. We investigate separation axioms TiT_{i} for every 0i5,0\leq i\leq5, first and second countability, connectivity, compactness, nested property, and Noetherian property on D(M)D(M). Also, we characterize some important classes of modules such as uniserial modules, simple modules, vector spaces, and finitely cogenerated modules in terms of D(M)D(M). Furthermore, we prove that D(M)D(M) is a Baire space for factorial modules. Finally, we introduce and study pseudo simple modules which is a new generalization of simple modules, and use them to determine when D(M)D(M) is a discrete space.
