Σ-dual Rickart modules

Abstract

In this paper, we dualize the concept of Σ-Rickart modules as Σ-dual Rickart modules. An R-module M is said to be Σ-dual Rickart if the direct sum of arbitrary copies of M is dual Rickart. We prove that each cohereditary module over the Noetherian ring is a Σ-dual Rickart. We introduce the notion of strongly cogenerated modules and characterize Σ-dual Rickart modules in terms of strongly cogenerated modules. We also study some properties of Σ- dual Rickart modules and find connections with semisimple Artinian ring, regular ring semi-hereditary ring and FP-injective module. Further, we study the endomorphism ring of Σ-dual Rickart modules
