ABSTRACT A module M Is said to be weakly projective If and only If It has a projective cover
11": P (M)--+ M and every map from P (M) Into a finitely generated (free) module can be …

A module M is said to be weakly N-projective if it has a projective cover π: P (M)↠ M and for
each homomorphism: P (M)→ N there exists an epimorphism σ: P (M)↠ M such that (kerσ) …

Recently KR Goodearl and D. Handelman [6] have studied simple regular rings from the
point of view of dimension-like functions. They have shown that there exists a unique …

The purpose of this paper is to initiate the study of improjective modules. A module X is im-
projective if given any epimorphism/: B-> A and any homomorphism/: X-> A, there exists a …

The structure of almost projective modules can be better understood in the case when the
following Condition (P) holds: The union of each countable pure chain of projective modules …

Given a module M over a ring R, G. Azumaya [1] introduced the dual notions of M-projective
and M-injective modules. These concepts have actually led MS Shrikhande to a study of …

A ring $ R $ is regular [completely reducible] if and only if the character module of every left
$ R $-module is quasi-injective [quasiprojective]. Submodules of quasiprojective left $ R …

Given a right R-module M, a module QE arM] is said to be weakly injective in arM] if for every
finitely generated submodule N of the M-injective hull Q, N is contained in a submodule Y of …

Kaplansky proved in [3, Theorem 2] that over a local 1 ring any projective module is free.
Another large class of projective modules were shown to be free a few years later. Bass [2 …
