Abstract

Wu and Jans introduced quasi-projective modules where they say a R\cal R module M\cal M is quasi-projective if for every submodule N\cal N, for every homomorphism f:MM/Nf : {\cal M} \rightarrow {\cal M}/{\cal N} and every epimorphism j:MM/Nj: {\cal M}\rightarrow {\cal M}/{\cal N} there is an endomorphism ϕ\phi of M\cal M such that ϕj=f\phi\circ j=f. We say that a structure S\cal S is quasi-projective if for every structure T\cal T, for every homomorphism f:STf : {\cal S} \rightarrow {\cal T} and every epimorphism j:STj: {\cal S}\rightarrow {\cal T} there is an endomorphism ϕ\phi of S\cal S such that ϕj=f\phi\circ j=f. In 2004 D. Jakub\'ikov\'a-Studenovsk\'a defined the concept of the factor algebra denoted by A/B{\cal A}/{\cal B}, where A{\cal A} is a monounary algebra and B{\cal B} is a subalgebra of A\cal A. In this paper, we characterise the quasi-projective monounary algebras of arbitrary cardinalities for the definition of D. Jakub\'ikov\'a-Studenovsk\'a and for the second definition.
