Abstract

In this paper, every module M is unitary and every ring F is commutative with identity. Some properties of S-Pseudo bounded radical are studied. A proper submodule ℵ of an F − module M is said to be S-pseudo bounded submodule if there exists , φ ∈ End ( M ) , x ∈ M such that φ ( x ) ∈ ℵ implies ann F ( ℵ ) = ann F φ ( x ) making use of endomorphism map over an F − module . The characterization of S-Pseudo bounded radical for finitely generated and multiplication module is given. It must be emphasized that scalar module and prime submodule played a major role in achieving new results and to study the relationship between the radical of submodules and the radical of S-pseudo bounded submodule. In our work many properties and corollaries will be proved which explain the idea of the radical of S-pseudo bounded submodule and a new class of F − module as well as F − submodule provided with some examples that illustrate and clarify in a nice way this type of module (submodule). We used the symbol End ( M ) which means the set of all endomorphism maps of F − module M and S − rad M PS . B . ( ℵ ) refers to the intersection of all S-pseudo bounded submodules of M containing ℵ .

1. Introduction

The concept of the radical of an ideal plays important role in the study of rings and it was generalized to modules over commutative rings.1,2 A submodule of M is called prime submodule if M and given tF,mM,tm implies m or t(:M) where (:M)={tF/tM} , if is prime then (:M) is prime ideal of F .35 The Mradical of a submodule was defined as the intersection of all prime submodules of M containing , if there is no prime submodule containing then rad()=M .6,7 For a proper submodule of an FmoduleM, the intersection of all S-PS.B. submodules of M containing is called the radical of and denoted by SradMPS.B.() , if there is no S-PS.B. submodule of M containing , then SradMPS.B.()=M . A submodule of M is called a radical submodule if SradMPS.B.()=. The radical of an ideal I of F has the characterization I={xF/xmIfor somem>0}. 8

The primary objective of this study is to present novel and diverse results concerning the S-pseudo bounded radical of submodules, and to establish a characterization for this concept, which is regarded as a new notion. We explore the relationship between the radical of submodules and that of S-pseudo bounded submodules. This connection yields significant results regarding their radicals. In the following section, we provide definitions, examples, and lemmas to further clarify our study.

2. S-Pseudo bounded submodules

At the beginning of this section, it is essential to introduce the definition of an S-pseudo bounded submodule along with illustrative examples. Additionally, it is necessary to present several lemmas that play a significant role in the study of the S-pseudo bounded radical of submodules.

Definition 2.1

A proper submodule of an FmoduleM is said to be S-pseudo bounded submodule if there exists φS=End(M),xM such that φ(x) implies annF()=annFφ(x),End(M) the set of endomorphism maps over an Fmodule M.

Examples 2.2

  • 1- Let M=24 as a module . Define φ:MM as φ(a¯,b¯)=(0,¯b¯),(a¯,b¯)M . Then if we take =0¯4 , then φ(a¯,b¯). Hence is S-PS.B. submodule of M , since when (a¯,b¯)=(0¯,2¯)M implies that ann()=ann(0¯,2¯)=2.

  • 2- Consider M=3 as a module. Define φ:MM as φ(a,b¯)=(0,0¯),(a,b¯)M, then if we take =30¯ , it is clear φEnd(M). Let (a,b¯)=(3,0¯)M, hence ann()=ann(30¯)=0¯, but annφ(3,0¯)=ann(0,0¯)=. Thus is not S-PS.B. submodule of M.

Definition 2.3

An FmoduleM is said to be S-PS.B. Fmodule if every proper submodule of M is S-PS.B F submodule.

Lemma 2.4

If is a prime submodule of a scalar Fmodule M, then is S-PS.B. Fsubmodule.

Proof:

Let φEnd(M),xM. Since M is scalar Fmodule , then for all φEnd(M),0rF such that φ(x)=rx,forallxM. Now, we must show that annFφ(x)=annF. Let aannFφ(x),xM. Then anannFφ(x),for somen+ and an.φ(x)=0, so an.rx=0 implies that anannF(rx),forallrx. Since is a prime submodule, then either xorrM so that anannF and aannF. In a same way, annFannFφ(x). Hence, is S-PS.B. Fsubmodule.

Lemma 2.5

If is S-PS.B. Fsubmodule of a scalar Fmodule M, then is S-prime submodule.

Proof:

Assume that be a proper submodule of M and φ(x),φEnd(M),xM. Let x, then we have to prove φ(M). Since is S-PS.B. Fsubmodule and M is scalar, then φ(x),xM which means that φ(M).

Lemma 2.6

If is a submodule of a scalar Fmodule M, then SradMPS.B.()=rad().

Proof:

Note that every S-prime submodule is prime, then from previous lemmas we get the result.

3. Some results related to S-pseudo bounded radical of submodules

In this part, we have examined the S-pseudo bounded radical of submodules presenting various properties exploring several relationships and introducing new results.

Definition 3.1

A S-pseudo bounded radical of a submodule of an F module M is the intersection of all S-pseudo bounded submodules of M containing and denoted by SradMPS.B.().

If there is no S-PS.B. submodule of M contains , then SradMPS.B.()=M.

Definition 3.2

A proper submodule of an F module M is called S-pseudo bounded radical submodule if SradMPS.B.()=.

Note that S-pseudo bounded radical submodule is proper submodule of M.

Remark 3.3

If is S-PS.B. submodule of an F module M, then SradMPS.B.() is S-PS.B. submodule too.

Proof:

Using the Definition (3.1), we have SradMPS.B.()=jJ{kj:kjisSPS.B.submodule,kj}, for jJ and J be an index set. Then by using induction and properties of S-PS.B. submodule we get SradMPS.B.() is S-PS.B. submodule.

Proposition 3.4

If ,K are two submodules of an F module M . Then

  • (i) SradMPS.B.().

  • (ii) IfK,thenSradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K).

  • (iii) SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.())=SradMPS.B.().

Proof:

  • (i) By the Definition (3.1), we have SradMPS.B.()=jJkj , jJ and J be an index set and S-PS.B. submodules kj of M containing so that SradMPS.B.().

  • (ii) Let Lj be an S-PS.B. submodule of an F module M such that KLj, jJ and J be an index set. Then KLj so that Lj and by Definition (3.1), we get SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K).

  • (iii) From Definition (3.1), we have SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.())=jJGj where Gj is an S-PS.B. submodules of M such that SradMPS.B.()Gj . By part (i), we get SradMPS.B.(), thus SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.())SradMPS.B.(). From part (ii), we obtain SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.()).

Proposition 3.5

If j is a submodule of an F module M,J is an index set, jJ, then

  • (i) SradMPS.B.(jJj)jJSradMPS.B.(j)= SradMPS.B.(jJSradMPS.B.(j)).

  • (ii) jJSradMPS.B.(j)SradMPS.B.(jJ.j)= SradMPS.B.(jJ.SradMPS.B.(j)).

Proof:

  • (i) Suppose that SradMPS.B.(jJj)=kKVk where Vk is S-PS.B. submodule containing jJj for kK,K be an index set. Let {Gkj} be the set of S-PS.B. submodules containing j. Since jJjjGkj, then SradMPS.B.(jJj)SradMPS.B.(j). Since jJSradMPS.B.(j)SradMPS.B.(j), then SradMPS.B.(jJSradMPS.B.(j))SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.(j))=SradMPS.B.(j),jJ. Hence SradMPS.B.(jJSradMPS.B.(j))jJSradMPS.B.(j). By previous proposition part (i), jJSradMPS.B.(j)=SradMPS.B.(jJSradMPS.B.(j)) is clear.

  • (ii) Since jjJj for jJ, then from previous proposition part (ii) SradMPS.B.(j)SradMPS.B.(jJj).

Hence jJSradMPS.B.(j)SradMPS.B.(jJj).

Since jJjjJSradMPS.B.(j), then it is easily to show that SradMPS.B.(jJj)=SradMPS.B.(jJSradMPS.B.(j)).

Proposition 3.6

If is a submodule of a multiplication finitely generated F module M. Then SradMPS.B.()=M if and only if =M.

Proof:

Assume that SradMPS.B.()=M and M . Since M is a finitely generated module, then there exists a maximal submodule K of M such that K and hence K is prime. Since M is a finitely generated multiplication F module, then M is scalar9 and thus K is S-PS.B. submodule Lemma (2.4). Thus SradMPS.B.()K so that M=K which is contradicting the assumption. If =M, the other side is clear.

Corollary 3.7

Let ,K be two submodules of a multiplication finitely generated F module M . Then SradMPS.B.()+SradMPS.B.(K)=M if and only if +K=M.

Proof:

Assume that SradMPS.B.()+SradMPS.B.(K)=M, then by proposition (3.4), (3.5) and previous proposition, M=SradMPS.B.(+K) implies that +K=M . On the other hand if +K=M, then M=SradMPS.B.(+K)=SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.()+SradMPS.B.(K)).

Hence by previous proposition, SradMPS.B.()+SradMPS.B.(K)=M.

Proposition 3.8

If M be a multiplication finitely generated F module and be a submodule of M, then SradMPS.B.()=SradMPS.B.(+(:M)M), where (:M) be a prime ideal of F.

Proof:

Since +(:M)M, then SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(+(:M)M) . Assume that SradMPS.B.()=jJVj where Vj is S-PS.B. submodule of M containing . Since M is a finitely generated multiplication module, then M is scalar9 and thus is prime Lemma (2.5) so that Vj is prime submodule and (Vj:M) is prime ideal which implies that (:M)(Vj:M) and hence +(:M)MVj. Therefore SradMPS.B.(+(:M)M)jJVj=SradMPS.B.() . Hence SradMPS.B.()=SradMPS.B.(+(:M)M).

Corollary 3.9

If M is a multiplication finitely generated F module and is a submodule of M, then SradMPS.B.()=+(:M)M, where (:M) is a maximal ideal of F.

Proof:

Since +(:M)MSradMPS.B.(+(:M)M)=SradMPS.B.(), by previous proposition and since (:M)((+(:M)M):M), then ((+(:M)M):M)=(:M) or ((+(:M)M):M)=F. If ((+(:M)M):M)=F, then FM=M+(:M)MSradMPS.B.() which implies that M=SradMPS.B.(). Since M is finitely generated, then M= by proposition (2.6) which is contradiction. So ((+(:M)M):M)=(:M) , therefore SradMPS.B.()=+(:M)M.

Proposition 3.10

If is a submodule of M and g:MM is an epiomorphism such that Ker(g) , then

  • (i) g(SradMPS.B.())=SradMPS.B.g().

  • (ii) g1(SradMPS.B.())=SradMPS.B.g1().

Proof:

  • (i) By the Definition (3.1), we have SradMPS.B.()=jJVj where Vj is S-PS.B. submodule of M containing ,jJ and J be an index set. Therefore g(SradMPS.B.())=g(jJVj) and g(SradMPS.B.())=jJg(Vj) with g()g(Vj), since Ker(g)Vj . Thus g(SradMPS.B.())=SradMPS.B.g().

  • (ii) Assume that is a submodule of M, then by Definition (3.1), SradMPS.B.()=jJVj the intersection is over all S-PS.B. submodules Vj of M containing . By Ref. 10, we have g1(SradMPS.B.())=g1(jJVj)=jJg1(Vj) the intersection is over all S-PS.B. submodules g1(Vj) of M containing g1() . Hence g1(SradMPS.B.())=SradMPS.B.g1().

Proposition 3.11

If ,K are two submodules of an F module M , then SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K)=K if and only if K is radical and SradMPS.B.(K)=SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K).

Proof:

Assume that SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K)=K. From Proposition (3.4) part (i), we have KSradMPS.B.(K), then SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K)SradMPS.B.(K) and from Proposition (3.5) the inequality SradMPS.B.(K)SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K) satisfies. Therefore, SradMPS.B.(K)=SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K). We get that K is SradMPS.B. submodule. Since SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K)=K, thus we have the another result. The converse can be proved by the assumption together.

Proposition 3.12

If ,K are two submodules of a finitely generated multiplication F module M such that (:M) and (K:M) are both radical ideals, then (SradMPS.B.(K):M)=(K:M).

Proof:

Clearly, (K:M)=(:M)(K:M)=(:M)(K:M)=(K:M) . Since M is finitely generated, then by Ref. 11 we have (K:M)=(SradMPS.B.(K):M). Thus (K:M)=(SradMPS.B.(K):M).

Corollary 3.13

If ,K are two submodules of a multiplication finitely generated F module M , then

(SradMPS.B.(K):M)=(SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K):M).

Proof:

From Ref. 11, we get (SradMPS.B.(K):M)=(K:M)=(:M)(K:M)=(SradMPS.B.():M)(SradMPS.B.(K):M)=(SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K):M).

Proposition 3.14

If is a submodule of a multiplication finitely generated F module M , then SradMPS.B.()=(:M)M.

Proof:

From, Ref. 12, we have (:M)MSradMPS.B.(). Now, let L be an S-PS.B. submodule of M such that L, then (:M)(L:M). Since M is a a finitely generated multiplication module, then M is scalar9 and hence is prime Lemma( 2.5) and L is prime submodule so that (L:M) is prime ideal implies that (:M)(L:M). Therefore (:M)M(L:M)ML. Since L is an arbitrary S-PS.B. submodule containing , then SradMPS.B.()(:M)M. Thus SradMPS.B.()=(:M)M.

Proposition 3.15

If ,K are two submodules of an Fmodule M such that KM, is a direct summand of M and rad( M) be an essential submodule of M. If SradMPS.B.()=SradMPS.B.(K) then =K.

Proof:

Suppose that is a direct summand of M, then <M such that M=. Thus K=(K) implies that SradMPS.B.(K)=SradMPS.B.()SradMPS.B.(K). Therefore SradMPS.B.(K)=0 which can be written as rad( M)(K)=0 and since rad( M) is an essential submodule of M implies that (K)=0, thus =K.

Proposition 3.16

If ,K are two submodules of a multiplication finitely generated F module M, then (:M)+(K:M)=(SradMPS.B.(+K):M), where ,K are both radical submodules of M.

Proof:

By, Ref. 13, since M is finitely generated multiplication module, then we have (IM:M)=I+(0:M) for all ideal I of F . Consider the finitely generated F module M/K and the ideal (:M) instead of M and I respectively, then

(:M)+(K:M)=(:M)+(0:MK)=((:M)(MK):MK)=(((:M)M+KK):MK)=((:M)M+K:M)=(+K:M)=(SradMPS.B.(+K):M).

Corollary 3.17

Let be a submodule of a finitely generated multiplication F module M . Then (SradMPS.B.((:M)M):M)=(:M), where is radical submodules of M.

Proof:

Since is radical submodules of M, then (:M)M implies that SradMPS.B.((:M)M). Therefore (SradMPS.B.((:M)M):M)(:M). On the other hand (:M)((:M)M:M)(SradMPS.B.((:M)M):M). Therefore (SradMPS.B.((:M)M):M)=(:M).

Corollary 3.18

If M is a multiplication finitely generated F module, then SradMPS.B.((SradMPS.B.(IM):M)M)=SradMPS.B.(IM), where I is radical ideal of F.

Proof:

Since (SradMPS.B.(IM):M)MSradMPS.B.(IM),

then SradMPS.B.((SradMPS.B.(IM):M)M)SradMPS.B.(IM). On the other hand IMSradMPS.B.(IM) implies that I(SradMPS.B.(IM):M) and thus IM(SradMPS.B.(IM):M)M which means

SradMPS.B.(IM)SradMPS.B.((SradMPS.B.(IM):M)M).

Therefore SradMPS.B.((SradMPS.B.(IM):M)M)=SradMPS.B.(IM).

Proposition 3.19

If ,K are two submodules of a scalar F module M , then

  • (i) IfSradMPS.B.(+K)=M, then tF such that tMSradMPS.B.() and (1t)MSradMPS.B.(K).

  • (ii) IfM is finitely generated module such that (+K)=M, then tF such that tM and (1t)MK. Where ,K are radical submodules of M.

Proof:

  • (i) Since

    F=(M:M)=(SradMPS.B.(+K):M)=(SradMPS.B.(SradMPS.B.()+SradMPS.B.(K)):M)=(SradMPS.B.():M)+(SradMPS.B.(K):M).

Therefore F=(SradMPS.B.():M)+(SradMPS.B.(K):M). Thus the required result is clear.

  • (ii) Since (+K)=M=SradMPS.B.(+K), by part (i) we have F=(SradMPS.B.():M)+(SradMPS.B.(K):M). By Ref. 14, since M is finitely generated module we have F=(:M)+(K:M) and hence F=(:M)+(K:M). Thus clearly result follows.

    Recall that a submodule of an F module M is named completely irreducible if for any two submodules 1,2 of M such that 12 implies that 1 or 2 .15,16

Proposition 3.20

If 1,2 are two submodules of an F module M and every S-PS.B. submodule L of M is completely irreducible such that 12L , then SradMPS.B.(12)=SradMPS.B.(1)SradMPS.B.(2).

Proof:

By Proposition (3.5), we have SradMPS.B.(12)SradMPS.B.(1)SradMPS.B.(2). Let L be an S-PS.B. submodule of M such that 12L. Since every S-PS.B. submodule of M that contains 12 is completely irreducible, then either 1L or 2L . Thus SradMPS.B.(1)L or SradMPS.B.(2)L . Therefore SradMPS.B.(1)SradMPS.B.(2)L for any L and SradMPS.B.(12). Therefore SradMPS.B.(1)SradMPS.B.(2)SradMPS.B.(12) .

Hence SradMPS.B.(12)=SradMPS.B.(1)SradMPS.B.(2).

Now, we give some notations:

GSPS.()={k:kSpecSPS.(M),k},

SradMPS.B.()=kSpecSPS.k, where SpecSPS. denoted all S-PS.B. submodules of M.

Proposition 3.21

Let M be an F module. Then

  • (i) GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)=GSPS.(1+2).

  • (ii) GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)GSPS.(12). Where 1,2 are two submodules of M.

Proof:

  • (i) Since

    GSPS.(1)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),1k},GSPS.(2)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),2k},GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),1k,2k},GSPS.(1+2)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),(1+2)k}.

Hence GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)=GSPS.(1+2).

  • (ii) Since

    GSPS.(1)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),1k},GSPS.(2)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),2k},GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)={k:kSpecSPS.(M),1kor2k}.

Also GSPS.(12)={{k:kSpecSPS.(M),12k}.

Now, let LGSPS.(1)GSPS.(2) then L is S-PS.B. submodule such that 1L or 2L. Thus 121L and 122L and hence LGSPS.(12). Therefore GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)GSPS.(12).

Corollary 3.22

If 1,2 are two submodules of an F module M and every S-PS.B. submodule k of M is completely irreducible such that 12k , then

GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2)=GSPS.(12).

Proof:

It is sufficient to show GSPS.(12)GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2). Let kGSPS.(12) implies that k is S-PS.B. submodule and 12k . Since every S-PS.B. submodule of M that contains 12 is completely irreducible, then either 1k or 2k which means kGSPS.(1) or kGSPS.(2) so that kGSPS.(1)GSPS.(2). Thus GSPS.(12)GSPS.(1)GSPS.(2).

Corollary 3.23

Let M be a finitely generated multiplication F module and I, J are an ideals of F. Then

  • (i) GSPS.(IM)=GSPS.(IM) .

  • (ii) GSPS.(IM+JM)=GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM).

  • (iii) GSPS.((IJ)M)=GSPS.(IMJM)=GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM).

Proof:

  • (i) Assume that I is an ideal of F. Since II then IMIM and hence GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(IM). Let GSPS.(IM), then is S-PS.B. submodule and since M is a finitely generated multiplication, then M is scalar9 and thus is prime Lemma (2.5). Since I(IM:M)(:M), thus

    I(:M) and hence (IM:M)((:M)M:M)(:M) it follows that GSPS.(IM) and thus GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(IM).

  • (ii) Let I and J be two ideals of F. Suppose that GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM), then is S-PS.B. submodule and since M is a finitely generated multiplication, then M is scalar9 and thus is prime Lemma (2.5). We have I(IM:M)(:M) and J(JM:M)(:M). Thus (I+J)M(:M)M. Therefore, ((I+J)M:M)(:M) and thus GSPS.(IM+JM). Clearly, GSPS.(IM+JM)GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM). Therefore, GSPS.(IM+JM)=GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM).

  • (iii) Let I and J be two ideals of F. Clearly, we have GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM)GSPS.(IMJM)GSPS.((IJ)M). Let GSPS.((IJ)M), then is S-PS.B. submodule and from9 and Lemma (2.5) hence is prime, So that IJ((IJ)M:M)(:M).

    Now, since (:M) is prime ideal of F, then I(:M) or J(:M). Hence (IM:M)(:M) or (JM:M)(:M). It follows that GSPS.(IM) or GSPS.(JM) implies that GSPS.(IM)GSPS.(JM).

Corollary 3.24

If is a submodule of a multiplication finitely generated F module M , then GSPS.()=GSPS.((:M)M) .

Proof:

Clearly, GSPS.()GSPS.((:M)M). Let LGSPS.((:M)M) , then we have ((:M)M)L. Since (:M)((:M)M:M)(L:M) so that (:M)(L:M) and hence LGSPS.(). Thus GSPS.()=GSPS.((:M)M) .

4. Conclusion

Our results are supported by facts related to the prime submodule, prime ideal, and S-prime submodule. We examined the properties of the S-pseudo bounded radical submodule, particularly in the context of finitely generated and multiplication modules.
