Rings all of whose torsion quasi-injective modules are injective

Abstract

Throughout this paper it is assumed that rings are associative, have the identity element, and all modules are left unital. R will denote a ring with identity, R-Mod the category of left R-modules, and for each left R-module M, E(M) (resp. J(M)) will represent the injective hull (resp. Jacobson radical) of M. Also, for a module M, A ⊆' M will mean that A is an essential submodule of M, and Z(M) denotes the singular submodule of M. M is called singular if Z(M) = M, and it is called non-singular in case Z(M) = 0. For fundamental definitions and results related to torsion theories, we refer to [12] and [14]. In this paper we shall deal mainly with Goldie torsion theory. Recall that a pair (G, F) of classes of left R-modules is known as Goldie torsion theory if G is the smallest torsion class containing all modules B/A, where A ⊆' B, and the torsion free class F is precisely the class of non-singular modules.
