if 119878119897(119890119877119890) = 0 119890 If 1 is semicentral reduced then 119877 is called

semicentral reduced An ordered set 1198901 119890

and a proper submodule 119875 of119872 is a prime submodule of119872if the quotient module119872119875 is a primemoduleThe notion ofprime submodule was first introduced in [2 3] see also [4 5]It is easy to see that119872 is a prime 119877-module if and only if forany119898 isin 119872 and 119887 isin 119877 if119898119877119887 = 0 then119898 = 0 or119872119887 = 0

In this work the concept of prime modules is developedto piecewise prime modules as it is done for rings in [1]Throughout this work it is considered that 120591 dim(119877) is finite

for each 119887 isin 119868119872119890119894119887 = 0 This implies that119872119890

(3) If119872119877is PWEP with respect to 119865 and retractable then

119886119899119899119903(119872) is a PWP ideal of 119877 with respect to 119864

Proof (1) If 119887 isin ann119903(119873119890119894) then there exists 119899 isin 119873 such that

119894119877119890119894119887 = 0 Since119872 is PWP 119877-module with

respect to 119864 by Definition 1 119872119890119894119887 = 0 Hence ann

119903(119873119890119894) =

119894119877119890119894119887 = 0 where 119890

119894isin 119864119898 isin 119872

119887 isin 119877 and 119898119890119894= 0 Thus 119887 isin ann

119903((119898119890119894119877)119890119894) which means

119887 isin ann119903(119872119890119894) or119872119890

119894119887 = 0

119903(119872) and 119868119890

119894sube ann

119903(119872) Since

(119872119868119890119894)119890119894119869 = 0 and119872 is a PWP 119877-module with respect to 119864

by Proposition 5119872119890119894119869 = 0Thus 119890

119894119869 sube ann

119903(119872)This implies

that ann119903(119872) is a PWP ideal of 119877 with respect to 119864

(3) Let 119868119890119894119869 sube ann

119903(119872) where 119868119890

119894 119890119894119869 sube ann

119903(119872) Since

119872 is retractable then there exists a nonzero homomorphism119891 119872 rarr 119872119868119890

119894 There exists 119887

119895isin 119865 such that 119891119887

119895= 0

Since 119868119890119894119869 sube ann

119903(119872) 119891119887

119895119872119890119894119869 = 0 By assumption 119872 is

PWEP with respect to 119865 This implies that 119891119887119895= 0 which

is a contradiction Hence ann119903(119872) is a PWP ideal of 119877 with

respect to 119864

A module 119872119877is called retractable if for any nonzero

submodule119873 of119872 Hom119877(119872119873) = 0

Theorem 7 Let 119872 be an 119877-module 119878 = 119864119899119889119877(119872) and

let 119865 = 1198871 119887

119898 be a complete set of left triangulating

idempotents of 119878

(1) If119878119872 is a PWP module with respect to 119865 then 119878 is a

PWP ringThe converse is true when119872119877is retractable

(2)119878119872 is a PWP module with respect to 119865 if and only if119872119877is PWEP with respect to 119865

Proof (1) Let 119891119887119894119878119887119894119892 = 0 where 119891 119892 isin 119878 119887

119894isin 119865 and 119887

119894119892 = 0

Thus there exists119898 isin 119872 such that 119887119894119892119898 = 0 and 119891119887

119894119878119887119894119892119898 =

0 Since119878119872 is PWPwith respect to 119865119891119887

lann119878(119890119872) = lann

119878((1minus119890)119872) = lann

119878(119872)This implies that

119890 = 1 or 119890 = 0 Thus 120591 dim(119878) = 1

119878(119872) =

It is folklore that prime radical plays an important role inthe study of rings [7] Following this concept is developed formodules of course by using a complete set of left triangulatingidempotents of 119877

Definition 12 Let 119872 be an 119877-module let 119873 be a propersubmodule of 119872 and let 119864 = 119890

1 119890

119899 be a complete set

of left triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) The piecewise prime radical of 119873 in 119872 with respectto 119864 is denoted by PRad(119873) and is defined to be theintersection of all piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 containing119873

(2) PRad(119872) means the intersection of all piecewiseprime submodules of 119872 with respect to 119864 If 119872 hasno piecewise prime submodulewith respect to119864 thenPRad(119872) = 119872

Proposition 13 Let119873 be a submodule of 119877-module119872

(1) If119873 is a submodule of 119877-module119872 then 119875119877119886119889(119873) sube119875119877119886119889(119872)

(2) If 119875119877119886119889(119872) = 119870 then 119875119877119886119889(119872119870) = 0(3) If119872 = oplus

Proof Let 119864 = 1198901 119890

119899 be a complete set of left

triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) Let 119870 be any piecewise prime submodule of 119872 withrespect to 119864 If119873 sube 119870 then PRad(119873) sube 119870 If119873 sube 119870then by the definition it is easy to see that 119873 cap 119870 isa piecewise prime submodule of119873 with respect to 119864Thus PRad(119873) sube (119870 cap 119873) sube 119870 Hence PRad(119873) subePRad(119872)

(2) Let 119875119870 be a piecewise prime submodules of 119872119870

with respect to 119864 By definition (119872119870)(119875119870) is apiecewise primemodule with respect to 119864 Thus119872119875

is a a piecewise prime module with respect to 119864 Thisimplies that 119875 is a piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 Hence PRad(119872119870) = 0

(3) By (1) for each 119894 isin 119868 PRad(119872119894) sube PRad(119872) This

implies that

119894isin119868

PRad (119872119894) sube PRad (119872) (4)

such that 119898119894notin PRad(119872

119894) By the definition there exists a

It is folklore that prime radical plays an important role inthe study of rings [7] Following this concept is developed formodules of course by using a complete set of left triangulatingidempotents of 119877

119899 be a complete set

of left triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) The piecewise prime radical of 119873 in 119872 with respectto 119864 is denoted by PRad(119873) and is defined to be theintersection of all piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 containing119873

(2) PRad(119872) means the intersection of all piecewiseprime submodules of 119872 with respect to 119864 If 119872 hasno piecewise prime submodulewith respect to119864 thenPRad(119872) = 119872

(2) Let 119875119870 be a piecewise prime submodules of 119872119870

with respect to 119864 By definition (119872119870)(119875119870) is apiecewise primemodule with respect to 119864 Thus119872119875

is a a piecewise prime module with respect to 119864 Thisimplies that 119875 is a piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 Hence PRad(119872119870) = 0

(3) By (1) for each 119894 isin 119868 PRad(119872119894) sube PRad(119872) This

implies that

Algebra 3

Let119872 be a right 119877-module with 119878 = End119877(119872) Then119872

119877

is called a quasi-Baer module if for any119873sube119878119872 lann

119878(119873) =

119878119890 where 119890 = 1198902 isin 119878 [6]

Corollary 8 Let119872 be a retractable119877-module 119878 = 119864119899119889119877(119872)

and let 119865 = 1198871 119887

119898 be a complete set of left triangulating

idempotents of 119878 Then the following statements are equivalent

(1) 119872119877is a PWEP module with respect to 119865

(2)119878119872 is a PWP module with respect to 119865

(3) 119872119877is quasi-Baer

Proof (1) hArr (2)This is evident byTheorem 7(2)(2) hArr (3) By [6 Proposition 47] 119872

119877is quasi-Baer if

and only if 119878 is quasi-Baer By [1 Theorem 411] 119878 is PWPwith respect to 119865 if and only if 119878 is quasi-Baer The result isobtained byTheorem 7(1)

Proposition 9 Let Λ be an index set and let 119864 = 1198901 119890

119899

be a complete set of left triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) Let119872 = oplus120582isinΛ

119872120582119872 is PWP with respect to 119864 if and

only if for each 120582 isin Λ119872120582is PWP with respect to 119864

(2) Let119872 = prod120582isinΛ

119872120582119872 is PWP with respect to 119864 if and

only if for each 120582 isin Λ119872120582is PWP with respect to 119864

Proof (1) Assume 119872 is PWP with respect to 119864 If119898120582119890119894119877119890119894119887 = 0 where 119898

120582isin 119872

120582 119890119894isin 119864 and 119887 isin

119877 then (0 119898120582 0 0)119890

119894119877119890119894119887 = 0 Since 119872 is PWP

(0 119898120582 0 0)119890

119894= 0 or 119872119890

119894119887 = 0 This implies

that 119898120582119890119894= 0 or 119872

120582119890119894119887 = 0 which means for each

120582 isin Λ 119872120582is PWP with respect to 119864 Conversely assume

that for each 120582 isin Λ 119872120582is PWP with respect to 119864 and

(1198981 119898

119899 0 )119890

119894119877119890119894119887 = 0 This implies that119898

120582119890119894119877119890119894119887 = 0

Since119872120582is PWP with respect to 119864 119898

120582119890119894= 0 or119872119890

119894119887 = 0

Hence (1198981 119898

119899 0 )119890

119894= 0 or119872119890

119894119887 = 0 Thus119872 is PWP

with respect to 119864(2) It can be seen by similar method as in part (1)

Corollary 10 Let 119864 = 1198901 119890

119899 be a complete set of left

triangulating idempotents of 119877 let119872 be an 119877-module and let119865 be a free 119877-module

(1) 119877 is quasi-Baer if and only if 119865 is a PWP module withrespect to 119864

(2) 119872 is PWP with respect to 119864 if and only if 119865otimes119877M is

PWP with respect to 119864

Proof It follows by [1 Theorem 411] and Proposition 9

Proposition 11 Let 119872 be an 119877-module and 119878 = 119864119899119889119877(119872)

Then119878119872 is prime if and only if 120591 119889119894119898(119878) = 1 and119872

119877is quasi-

Baer

Proof (rArr) Since119872 is a prime 119878-module then for each119873 sube

119872 lann119878(119873) = lann

119878(119872) = 0This implies that119872

119877is quasi-

Baer If 1198902 = 119890 isin 119878 then119872 = 119890119872oplus(1minus119890)119872 Since119878119872 is prime

lann119878(119890119872) = lann

119878((1minus119890)119872) = lann

119878(119872)This implies that

119890 = 1 or 119890 = 0 Thus 120591 dim(119878) = 1

(lArr) Let 119873 be any submodule of119878119872 Since119872

119877is quasi-

Baer lann119878(119873) = 119878119890 where 119890 isin 119878

119903(119878) Since 120591 dim(119878) = 1 119890 isin

0 1 If 119890 = 1 then119873 = 0 Thus 119890 = 0 This implies that foreach nonzero submodule 119873sube

119878119872 lann

119878(119873) = lann

119878(119872) =

0 This means119878119872 is prime

It is folklore that prime radical plays an important role inthe study of rings [7] Following this concept is developed formodules of course by using a complete set of left triangulatingidempotents of 119877

Definition 12 Let 119872 be an 119877-module let 119873 be a propersubmodule of 119872 and let 119864 = 119890

1 119890

119899 be a complete set

of left triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) The piecewise prime radical of 119873 in 119872 with respectto 119864 is denoted by PRad(119873) and is defined to be theintersection of all piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 containing119873

(2) PRad(119872) means the intersection of all piecewiseprime submodules of 119872 with respect to 119864 If 119872 hasno piecewise prime submodulewith respect to119864 thenPRad(119872) = 119872

Proposition 13 Let119873 be a submodule of 119877-module119872

(1) If119873 is a submodule of 119877-module119872 then 119875119877119886119889(119873) sube119875119877119886119889(119872)

(2) If 119875119877119886119889(119872) = 119870 then 119875119877119886119889(119872119870) = 0(3) If119872 = oplus

119894isin119868119872119894is a direct sum of submodules119872

119894 then

PRad (119872) =⨁

119894isin119868

PRad (119872119894) (3)

Proof Let 119864 = 1198901 119890

119899 be a complete set of left

triangulating idempotents of 119877

(1) Let 119870 be any piecewise prime submodule of 119872 withrespect to 119864 If119873 sube 119870 then PRad(119873) sube 119870 If119873 sube 119870then by the definition it is easy to see that 119873 cap 119870 isa piecewise prime submodule of119873 with respect to 119864Thus PRad(119873) sube (119870 cap 119873) sube 119870 Hence PRad(119873) subePRad(119872)

(2) Let 119875119870 be a piecewise prime submodules of 119872119870

with respect to 119864 By definition (119872119870)(119875119870) is apiecewise primemodule with respect to 119864 Thus119872119875

is a a piecewise prime module with respect to 119864 Thisimplies that 119875 is a piecewise prime submodules of119872with respect to 119864 Hence PRad(119872119870) = 0

(3) By (1) for each 119894 isin 119868 PRad(119872119894) sube PRad(119872) This

implies that

119894isin119868

PRad (119872119894) sube PRad (119872) (4)

Let (119898119894)119894isin119868

isin 119872 oplus119894isin119868PRad(119872

119894) Then there exists 119894 isin 119868

such that 119898119894notin PRad(119872

119894) By the definition there exists a

piecewise prime submodule119873119894sube 119872119894with respect to 119864 such

that 119898119894notin 119873119894 If 119870 = 119873
