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.
