Rings that are FGC relative to filters of ideals

Abstract

All our rings will be commutative with identity not equal to zero. Also R will always denote a ring. is a filter of ideals of R if is a nonempty set of ideals of R satisfying: I∈ and J is an ideal of R with I⊂J, then J∈, and if I, J∈ then I∩J∈. A Gabriel topology of R is a filter of ideals of R satisfying: if J∈ and I is an ideal of R with (I:x)∈ for all x∈J, then I∈. See the B. Stenström text [6]. We say that a ring R is an FGC ring if every finitely generated R-module is a direct sum of cyclic R-modules. Use mspec R for the set of all maximal ideals of R.
