## On generalized CS-modules.(English)Zbl 1363.16015

A module $$M$$ (over a ring $$R$$) is called a CS-module (or an extending module) if every submodule of $$M$$ is essential in a direct summand of $$M$$. A submodule $$N$$ of a module $$M$$ is said to be $$\mathcal{G}$$-closed if $$M/N$$ is a nonsingular $$R$$-module. A module $$M$$ is called a generalized CS-module (or briefly, GCS-module) if any $$\mathcal{G}$$-closed submodule of $$M$$ is a direct summand of $$M$$. GCS-modules provide a generalization of both CS-modules and singular modules. In this paper, the author considers the question of when a finite direct sum of GCS-modules is again a GCS-module, and obtains various partial results. It is proved that, for a right nonsingular ring $$R$$, every right $$R$$-module is a GCS-module if and only if every nonsingular right $$R$$-module is projective. Also, every finitely generated right $$R$$-module is GCS if and only if every finitely generated nonsingular right $$R$$-module is projective, and if moreover the identity of $$R$$ is a sum of orthogonal primitive idempotents, then these conditions are equivalent to $$R$$ being left and right CS and left and right semi-hereditary.
