Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $E$ the minimal injective cogenerator of the category of $R$-modules. An $R$-module $M$ is (Matlis) reflexive if the natural evaluation map $M \to…

We consider $\,R-$modules as functors in the following way: if $\,M\,$ is a (left) $R$-module, let $\,\mathcal M\,$ be the functor of $\,\mathcal R-$modules defined by $\,\mathcal M(S) := S \otimes_R M\,$ for every $\,R-$algebra $\,S$. With…

Let (R,m) be a noetherian local ring and let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all R-modules M which possess a reflexive submodule U such that M/U is finitely generated. For every R-module $M\in \mathcal{C}$ the canonical embedding $\varphi:…

Matlis duality for modules over commutative rings gives rise to the notion of Matlis reflexivity. It is shown that Matlis reflexive modules form a Krull-Schmidt category. For noetherian rings the absence of infinite direct sums is a…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ denote a local ring with $E = E_R(R/\mathfrak{m})$ the injective hull of the residue field. Let $\mathfrak{p} \in \Spec R$ denote a prime ideal with $\dim R/\mathfrak{p} = 1$, and let $E_R(R/\mathfrak{p})$ be the…

If $R$ is a ring with 1, we call a unital left $R$-module $M$ co-Hopfian (Hopfian) in the category of left $R$-modules if any monic (epic) endomorphism of $M$ is an automorphism. For commutative Noetherian $R$ we use results of Matlis to…

Let R be a commutative ring, and let L and L' be R-modules. We investigate finiteness conditions (e.g., noetherian, artinian, mini-max, Matlis reflexive) of the modules Ext^i_R(L,L') and Tor_i^R(L,L') when L and L' satisfy combinations of…

For a Noetherian local ring $(R,{\mathfrak m})$ with $\mathfrak p\in \Spec(R)$ we denote $E_R(R/\mathfrak p)$ by the $R$-injective hull of $R/\mathfrak p$. We will show that it has an $\hat{R}^\mathfrak p$-module structure and there is an…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a ring $\Lambda$. With certain mild assumptions on $\Lambda$, it is proven that $M$ is a reflexive $\Lambda$-module, once $M \cong M^{**}$ as a $\Lambda$-module.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. A ring $R$ is called an $S$-Matlis ring if $pd_RR_S\leq 1$. In this note, we give some new characterizations of $S$-Matlis rings in terms of $S$-strongly flat modules,…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra, and let $0<p,q\le\infty$. Then the space $\Hom_\mathcal{M}(L^p(\mathcal{M}),L^q(\mathcal{M}))$ of all right $\mathcal{M}$-module homomorphisms from $L^p(\mathcal{M})$ to $L^q(\mathcal{M})$ is a…

An $R$-module $M$ is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if any epic (monic) endomorphism of $M$ is an automorphism. If $R$ is commutative Noetherian, we characterize the co-Hopfian injective $R$-modules, and the Hopfian injectives in the case that $R$ is…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring and let $C$ be a semidualizing $R$-module. In this paper, by using relative homological dimensions with respect to $C$, we impose various conditions on $C$ to be dualizing. First, we show that $C$ is dualizing…

It is proved that a module M over a commutative noetherian ring R is injective if Ext^i((R/p)_p,M)=0 holds for every i\ge 1 and every prime ideal p in R. This leads to the following characterization of injective modules: If F is faithfully…

For a topological monoid S the dual inverse monoid is the topological monoid of all identity preserving homomorphisms from S to the circle with attached zero. A topological monoid S is defined to be reflexive if the canonical homomorphism…

A notion of rigidity with respect to an arbitrary semidualizing complex C over a commutative noetherian ring R is introduced and studied. One of the main result characterizes C-rigid complexes. Specialized to the case when C is the relative…

Let R be a local complete ring. For an R-module M the canonical ring map R\to End_R(M) is in general neither injective nor surjective; we show that it is bijective for every local cohomology module M := H^h_I(R) if H^l_I(R) = 0 for every…

Finitely generated reflexive modules over commutative Noetherian rings form a key component of Auslander and Bridger's stable module theory and are likewise essential in the study of Cohen--Macaulay representations. Recently, H. Dao…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring. For a finitely generated $R$-module $M$, Northcott introduced the reducibility index of $M$, which is the number of submodules appearing in an irredundant irreducible decomposition of the submodule $0$ in $M$.…

Let R be a commutative ring and S be an R-algebra. It is well-known that if N is an injective R-module, then Hom(S,N) is an injective S-module. The converse is not true, not even if R is a commutative noetherian local ring and S is its…
