Abstract

Let EE be a module over a domain AA, and W(E)#=W(E)ann(E)W(E)^{\#}=W(E)-ann(E) where W(E)={aA:aEE}W(E)=\{a\in A:aE\neq E\}. We define an equivalence relation \sim on W(E)#W(E)^{\#} as follows: aba\sim b if and only if aE=bEaE=bE for any a,bW(E)#a,b\in W(E)^{\#} and denote EC(W(E)#)EC(W(E)^{\#}) to be the set of all equivalence classes [a][a] of W(E)#W(E)^{\#}. We first show that the family {Ua}aW(E)#\{U_a\}_{a\in W(E)^\#} generates a topology which we called the quasi divisor topology of AA-module EE denoted by qDA(E)qD_A(E) where Ua={[b]EC(W(E)#): aEbE}U_{a}=\{[b]\in EC(W(E)^{\#}):\ aE\subseteq bE\} for every aW(E)#a\in W(E)^{\#}. This paper examines the connections between topological properties of the quasi divisor topology qDA(E)qD_{A}(E) and algebraic properties of AA-module EE. These include each separation axioms, compactness, connectedness and first and second countability. Also, we characterize some important class of rings/modules such as divisible modules and uniserial modules by means of qDA(E)qD_{A}(E). Furthermore, we introduce quasi second modules and study its algebraic properties to decide when qDA(E)qD_A(E) is a T1T_1-space.
