Modules That Have a Weak Rad-Supplement in Every Extension

Abstract

As a proper generalization of the modules with the properties (E) and (EE) that were introduced by Zoschinger in terms of supplements, we say that a module M has the property (WRE) (respectively, (WREE)) if M has a weak Rad-supplement (respectively, ample weak Rad-supplements) in every extension. In this paper, we prove that if every submodule of a module M has the property (WRE), then M has the property (WREE). We show that a ring R is semilocal if and only if every left R-module has the property (WRE). Also we prove that over a commutative Von Neumann regular ring a module M has the property (WRE) if and only if M is injective.
