Torsion-Free and Divisible Modules Over Non-Integral-Domains

Abstract: In trying to extend the concept of torsion to rings more general than commutative integral domains the first thing that we notice is that if the definition is carried over word for word, integral domains are the only rings with torsion-free modules. Thus, if m is an element of any right module M over a ring containing a pair of non-zero elements x and y such that xy = 0, then either mx = 0 or (mx)y = 0. A second difficulty arises in the non-commutative case: Does the set of torsion elements of M form a submodu… Show more

“…Moreover, R is of finite right rank and, hence, every finitely generated nonsingular right fi-module can be embedded in a free module [4,Corollary XII,7.3]. Since every finitely generated right torsion-free fi-module is right nonsingular, it follows by Levy's theorem [2,Theorem 5.3] that R is right Ore. By [1,Theorem 6.25], Theorem 1, and [1, Theorem 6.26], R is left PCI. □…”

“…It follows that Hom R (Q, U ) = 0 for every uniform right ideal U of R. Therefore every uniform right ideal of R contains a nonzero divisible submodule. It is well known that in a semiprime right Goldie ring S, every nonsingular divisible S-module is injective, see instance [9,Theorem 3.3]. Hence every uniform right ideal of R contains a nonzero injective submodule.…”
