Abstract

An R-module M is called quasi-morphic if for any f∈EndR(M), there exist g,h∈EndR(M) such that Imf=Kerg and Kerf=Imh. In addition, MR is said to be morphic whenever g=h in the above definition. The main objective of this paper is investigating quasi-morphic property for several classes of modules. First we obtain general properties of quasi-morphic modules via exact sequence approach. Moreover, we investigate conditions under which a finite length quasi-morphic module is morphic. As a result, we show that for uniserial finite length modules, the notions of morphic and quasi-morphic coincide. Over a principal ideal domain R, direct sums of cyclic modules which are (quasi-)morphic are characterized. Among applications of our results, nonsingular extending (quasi-)morphic modules are characterized completely. We also prove that over a commutative Noetherian domain R which is not a field, quasi-morphic nonsingular extending modules are precisely direct sums of copies of Q (the quotient field of R). (Quasi-)Morphic singular extending abelian groups are also characterized.
