## Mininjective rings.(English)Zbl 0879.16002

For a ring $$R$$, a right $$R$$-module $$M$$ is called mininjective if for each simple right ideal $$I$$ of $$R$$ every $$R$$-homomorphism $$f\colon I\to M$$ extends to $$R$$. A ring $$R$$ is called right mininjective if $$R_R$$ is mininjective; equivalently every isomorphism between simple right ideals is given by left multiplication by an element of $$R$$. Mininjective rings were initially introduced by M. Harada [Osaka J. Math. 19, 587-597 (1982; Zbl 0495.16022)] and were studied for the Artinian case by M. Harada [loc.cit., and ibid. 20, 1-4 (1983; Zbl 0516.16009)]. A module is said to have squarefree socle if every nonzero homogeneous component of its socle is simple. A ring $$R$$ is called right min-PF if $$R$$ is semiperfect, right mininjective in which $$\text{Soc}(R_R)$$ is essential in $$R_R$$ and $$\ell(r(K))=K$$ of every simple left ideal $$K\subseteq Re$$, where $$e$$ is a local idempotent.
It is shown that the right mininjectivity is a Morita invariant property, and a commutative ring is mininjective if and only if it has squarefree socle. Semiperfect right mininjective rings are completely characterized: a semiperfect ring $$R$$ is right mininjective if and only if $$\text{Soc}(R_R)e$$ is simple or zero for each local idempotent $$e$$ of $$R$$.
Furthermore several interesting results for right mininjectivity, which can extend well known results on pseudo- and quasi-Frobenius rings, are investigated. For examples: (1) If $$R$$ is a semiperfect, right mininjective ring for which $$\text{Soc}(eR)\neq 0$$ for every local idempotent $$e$$ of $$R$$, then $$R$$ is right and left Kasch, and $$R$$ admits a Nakayama permutation of its basic idempotents; (2) If $$R$$ is a right min-PF, then $$R$$ is right and left Kasch, $$J(R)=Z(R_R)$$, and $$R$$ admits a Nakayama permutation of its basic idempotents, where $$J(R)$$ and $$Z(R_R)$$ denote the Jacobson radical and the right singular ideal of $$R$$, respectively. Also as an application, it is proved that a right Artinian ring $$R$$ is quasi-Frobenius if and only if $$R$$ is mininjective.
