Abstract:Abstract. We give some criteria for recognizing local rings that allow us to show that indecomposable AB5 * modules over commutative rings and couniform modules over noetherian commutative rings have a local endomorphism ring. We also develop some theory on methods to construct modules with a prescribed direct-sum decomposition. As an application we realize an interesting class of commutative monoids as monoids of direct summands of a direct sum of a countable number of copies of a suitable artinian cyclic mod… Show more
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.
