Abstract
Hereditary rings have been extensively investigated in the literature after Kaplansky introduced them in the earliest 50’s. In this paper, we study the notion of a [Formula: see text]-Rickart module by utilizing the endomorphism ring of a module and using the recent notion of a Rickart module, as a module theoretic analogue of a right hereditary ring. A module [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-Rickart if every direct sum of copies of [Formula: see text] is Rickart. It is shown that any direct summand and any direct sum of copies of a [Formula: see text]-Rickart module are [Formula: see text]-Rickart modules. We also provide generalizations in a module theoretic setting of the most common results of hereditary rings: a ring [Formula: see text] is right hereditary if and only if every submodule of any projective right [Formula: see text]-module is projective if and only if every factor module of any injective right [Formula: see text]-module is injective. Also, we have a characterization of a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-Rickart module in terms of its endomorphism ring. Examples which delineate the concepts and results are provided.
