Abstract

We present a theory of (semi)star operations for torsion-free modules. This extends the analogous theory of star operations on domains as in [R. Gilmer, Multiplicative Ideal Theory, M. Dekker, New York, 1972] and its generalization to semistar operations studied in [A. Okabe, R. Matsuda, Semistar operations on integral domains, Math. J. Toyama Univ. 17 (1994) 1–21], and recovers some closure operations defined on modules. We investigate some properties of (semi)star operations on a given module over a domain D and their relation with the properties of some classes of semistar operations induced on D. Among other things, this leads to a connection between semistar operations on the D-module and localizing systems on the domain D.
