H-supplemented modules with respect to images of fully invariant submodules

Abstract

Abstract Lifting modules plays important roles in module theory. H-supplemented modules are a nice generalization of lifting modules which have been studied extensively recently. In this article, we introduce a proper generalization of H-supplemented modules via images of fully invariant submodules. Let F be a fully invariant submodule of a right Rmodule M. We say that M is I F -H-supplemented in case for every endomorphism φ of M, there is a direct summand D of M such that φ(F) + X = M if and only if D + X = M, for every submodule X of M. It is proved that M is I F -H-supplemented if and only if F is a dual Rickart direct summand of M for a fully invariant noncosingular submodule F of M. It is shown that the direct sum of I F -H supplemented modules is not in general I F -H-supplemented. Some sufficient conditions such that the direct sum of I F -H-supplemented modules is I F -H-supplemented are given.
