A Baer-Kaplansky theorem for modules over principal ideal domains

Commutative Algebra 2014-10-13 v1

Abstract

We will prove that if GG and HH are modules over a principal ideal domain RR such that the endomorphism rings EndR(RG)\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus G) and EndR(RH)\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus H) are isomorphic then GHG\cong H. Conversely, if RR is a Dedekind domain such that two RR-modules GG and HH are isomorphic whenever the rings EndR(RG)\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus G) and EndR(RH)\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus H) are isomorphic then RR is a PID.
