Decompositions of Dual Automorphism Invariant Modules over Semiperfect Rings

详细

A module M is called dual automorphism invariant if whenever X₁ and X₂ are small submodules of M, then each epimorphism f : M/X₁ → M/X₂ lifts to an endomorphism g of M. A module M is said to be d-square free (dual square free) if whenever some factor module of M is isomorphic to N² for a module N then N = 0. We show that each dual automorphism invariant module over a semiperfect ring which is a small epimorphic image of a projective lifting module is a direct sum of cyclic indecomposable d-square free modules. Moreover, we prove that for each module M over a semiperfect ring which is a small epimorphic image of a projective lifting module (e.g., M is a finitely generated module), M is dual automorphism invariant iff M is pseudoprojective. Also, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a dual automorphism invariant module over a right perfect ring to be quasiprojective.
