a b s t r a c tA ring R is called a right weakly V-ring (briefly, a right WV-ring) if every simple right R-module is X -injective, where X is any cyclic right R-module with X R R R . In this note, we study the structure of right WV-rings R and show that, if R is not a right V-ring, then R has exactly three distinct ideals, 0 ⊂ J ⊂ R, where J is a nilpotent minimal right ideal of R such that R/J is a simple right V-domain. In this case, if we assume additionally that R J is finitely generated, then R is left Artinian and right uniserial with composition length 2. We also show that a strictly right WV-ring with Jacobson radical J is a Frobenius local ring if and only if the injective hull of J R is uniserial. Some other results are obtained in the connection with the Noetherian property of right WV-rings and related rings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
