The main object of this paper is to study relative homological aspects as well as further properties of τ -closed submodules. A submodule N of a module M is said to be τ -closed (or τ -pure) provided that M/N is τ -torsion-free, where τ stands for an idempotent radical. Whereas the well-known proper class 𝒞losed (𝒫ure) of closed (pure) short exact sequences, the class τ −𝒞losed of τ -closed short exact sequences need not be a proper class. We describe the smallest proper class 〈τ − 𝒞losed〉 containing τ − 𝒞losed, through τ -closed submodules. We show that the smallest proper class 〈τ − 𝒞losed〉 is the proper classes projectively generated by the class of τ -torsion modules and coprojectively generated by the class of τ -torsion-free modules. Also, we consider the relations between the proper class 〈τ − 𝒞losed〉 and some of well-known proper classes, such as 𝒞losed, 𝒫ure.

The aim of this paper is to reveal the relationship between the proper class generated projectively by g-semiartinian modules and the subprojectivity domains of g-semiartinian modules. A module [Formula: see text] is called g-semiartinian if every nonzero homomorphic image of [Formula: see text] has a singular simple submodule. It is proven that every g-semiartinian right [Formula: see text]-module has an epic projective envelope if and only if [Formula: see text] is a right PS ring if and only if every subprojectivity domain of any g-semiartinian right [Formula: see text]-module is closed under submodules. A g-semiartinian module whose domain of subprojectivity as small as possible is called gsap-indigent. We investigated the structure of rings whose (simple, coatomic) g-semiartinian right modules are gsap-indigent or projective. Furthermore, over right PS rings, necessary and sufficient condition to be gsap-indigent module was determined.
