It is proved, among other results, that a prime right nonsingular ring (in particular, a simple ring) $R$ is right self-injective if $R_R$ is invariant under automorphisms of its injective hull. This answers two questions raised by Singh…

Let $(K,M)$ be a pair satisfying some mild condition, where $K$ is a class of $R$-modules and $M$ is a class of $R$-homomorphisms. We show that if $f:A\rightarrow B$ and $g:B\rightarrow A$ are $M$-embeddings and $A,B$ are $K_M$-injective,…

Main Theorem (3.3): Let $M$ be a compact four-dimensional manifold either with curvature, positive on complex isotropic two-planes, or self-dual of positive scalar curvature. If $\pi_1 (M)$ admits a nontrivial unitary representation, and…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ denote a local ring. For $I$ and $J$ ideals of $R$, for all integer $i$, let $H^i_{I,J}(-)$ denote the $i$-th local cohomology functor with respect to $(I,J)$. Here we give a generalized version of Local Duality…

For a module-finite algebra over a commutative noetherian ring, we give a complete description of flat cotorsion modules in terms of prime ideals of the algebra, as a generalization of Enochs' result for a commutative noetherian ring. As a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity, and let $S$ be a multiplicative subset of $R$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of $S$-injective modules as a weak version of injective modules. Among other results, we provide an…

Let $R$ be a local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. Appealing to the natural left module structure of $M$ over its endomorphism ring and corresponding center $Z(\operatorname{End}_R(M))$, we study when various…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. We investigate under which conditions an $R$-module $M$ is generated by an ideal $I$, i.e. there exists an epimorphism $I^{(\Lambda)} \twoheadrightarrow M$. If $M$ is uniserial,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $M$ an $R$-module and $\varphi_a$ be the endomorphism of $M$ given by right multiplication by $a\in R$. We say that $M$ is {\it weakly-morphic} if $M/\varphi_a(M)\cong \ker(\varphi_a)$ as $R$-modules for every…

Let $R$ be a right and left Ore ring, $S$ its set of regular elements and $Q = R[S^{-1}] = [S^{-1}] R$ the classical ring of quotients of $R$. We prove that if F.dim$(Q_Q) = 0$, then the following conditions are equivalent: $(i)$ Flat right…

A module $M$ is called an automorphism-invariant module if every isomorphism between two essential submodules of $M$ extends to an automorphism of $M$. This paper introduces the notion of dual of such modules. We call a module $M$ to be a…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of all $I$-generated $R$-modules $M$ (i.e. there is an epimorphism $I^{(\Lambda)} \twoheadrightarrow M$) and let…

For a noetherian ring R we call an R-module M cofinite if there exists an ideal I of R such that M is I-cofinite; we show that every cofinite module M satisfies dim_R(M)<=injdimR(M). As an application we study the question which local…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for…

We prove that a right $R$-module $M$ is $\Sigma$-pure injective if and only if $\mathrm{Add}(M)\subseteq \mathrm{Prod}(M)$. Consequently, if $R$ is a unital ring, the homotopy category $\mathbf{K}({\mathrm{Mod}\text{-} R})$ satisfies the…

We show that the conditions defining total reflexivity for modules are independent. In particular, we construct a commutative Noetherian local ring $R$ and a reflexive $R$-module $M$ such that $\Ext^i_R(M,R)=0$ for all $i>0$, but…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Roughly speaking, we prove that an $R$-module $M$ is flat iff it is a direct limit of $R$-module affine algebraic varieties, and $M$ is a flat Mittag-Leffler module iff it is the union of its $R$-submodule…

We study the category $\mathop{\mathrm{ref}}\Lambda$ of reflexive modules over a two-sided Noetherian ring $\Lambda$. We show that the category $\mathop{\mathrm{ref}}\Lambda$ is quasi-abelian if and only if $\Lambda$ satisfies certain…

We prove a tight connection between reflexive modules over a one-dimensional ring $R$ and its birational extensions that are self-dual as $R$-modules. Consequently, we show that a complete local reduced Arf ring has finitely many…

The monomorphism category $\mathscr{S}(A, M, B)$ induced by a bimodule $_AM_B$ is the subcategory of $\Lambda$-mod consisting of $\left[\begin{smallmatrix} X\\ Y\end{smallmatrix}\right]_{\phi}$ such that $\phi: M\otimes_B Y\rightarrow X$ is…
