On Singly Flat and Singly Injective Modules

Abstract

Recall that a left module A (resp. right module B) is said to be singly injective (resp. singly flat) if $$Ext^{1}_{R}(F/K, A) = 0$$ (resp. $${\text {Tor}}_{1}^{R}(B, F/K)= 0$$ ) for any cyclic submodule K of any finitely generated free left R-module F. In this paper, we continue to study and investigate the homological objects related to singly flat and singly injective modules and module homomorphisms. Along the way, the right orthogonal class of singly flat right modules and the left orthogonal class of singly injective left modules are introduced and studied. These concepts are used to extend the some known results and to characterize pseudo-coherent rings and left singly injective rings. In terms of some derived functors, some homological dimensions are investigated. As applications, some new characterizations of von Neumann regular rings and left PP rings are given. Finally, we study the singly flatness and singly injectivity of homomorphism modules over a commutative ring.
