ON A NEW VARIATION OF INJECTIVE MODULES

Abstract

In this paper, we provide various properties of GE and GEE-modules, a new variation of injective modules. We call M a GE-module if it has a g-supplement in every extension N and, we call also M a GEE-module if it has ample g-supplements in every extension N. In particular, we prove that every semisimple module is a GE-module. We show that a module M is a GEE-module if and only if every submodule is a GE-module. We study the structure of GE and GEE-modules over Dedekind domains. Over Dedekind domains the class of GE-modules lies between WS-coinjective modules and Zoschinger's modules with the property (E). We also prove that, if a ring R is a local Dedekind domain, an R-module M is a GE-module if and only if M congruent to (R*)(n) circle plus K circle plus N, where R* is the completion of R, K is injective and N is a bounded module.
