On δ-semiperfect modules

A submodule N of a module M is δ-small in M if N+X≠M for any proper submodule X of M with M∕X singular. A projective δ-cover of a module M is a projective module P with an epimorphism to M whose kernel is δ-small in P. A module M is called δ-semiperfect if every factor module of M has a projective δ...

Summary:A submodule N of a module M is δ-small in M if N+X≠M for any proper submodule X of M with M∕X singular. A projective δ-cover of a module M is a projective module P with an epimorphism to M whose kernel is δ-small in P. A module M is called δ-semiperfect if every factor module of M has a projective δ-cover. In this paper, we prove various properties, including a structure theorem and several characterizations, for δ-semiperfect modules. Our proofs can be adapted to generalize several results of Mares [ 8 ] and Nicholson [ 11 ] from projective semiperfect modules to arbitrary semiperfect modules.
