Mathematics p-poor modules projectivity domain no p-middle class A ring <i>R</i> is called a right <i>WV</i>-ring if each simple right <i>R</i>-module is injective relative to proper cyclics. A right <i>WV</i>-ring which is not a right <i>V</i>-ring is called a right strictly <i>WV</i>-ring. A right strictly <i>WV</i>-ring <i>R</i> has only three two-sided ideals. If, in addition, <sub><i>R</i></sub><i>J</i>(<i>R</i>) is finitely generated, then it has only three right ideals. It is shown that, given a cyclic right module <i>C</i> over a right <i>WV</i>-ring <i>R</i>, <i>C</i> is noetherian iff every cyclic module in σ[<i>C</i>] is a direct sum of a module which is projective in σ[<i>C</i>] with a module which is either CS or has finite uniform dimension. A module is called p-poor if it is projective only with respect to the semisimple modules. Every ring has a semisimple p-poor module. A ring <i>R</i> is said to have no right p-middle class if every right <i>R</i>-module is either projective or p-poor. It is shown that a ring <i>R</i> with no right p-middle class is isomorphic to <i>S</i> × <i>K</i>, where <i>S</i> is semisimple artinian and <i>K</i> is an indecomposable ring. This <i>K</i> is either zero or exactly one of the following: (i) a semiprimary right SI-ring, (ii) a semiprimary ring with <i>Soc</i>(<i>K</i><sub><i>K</i></sub>)=Z(K<sub>K</sub>)=<i>J</i>(<i>K</i>), (iii) a prime ring with <i>Soc</i>(<i>K</i><sub><i>K</i></sub>)=0, where either <i>J</i>(<i>K</i>)=0 or <i>K</i> is neither left nor right noetherian, or (iv) a ring with infinitely generated essential right socle and <i>J</i>(<i>K</i>)=0. 2011-10-03 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1308257966 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1308257966 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
