ON 𝜙-EXACT SEQUENCES AND 𝜙-PROJECTIVE MODULES

Let R be a commutative ring with prime nilradical Nil(R) and M an R-module. Define the map 𝜙 : R → R_Nil(R) by ${\phi}(r)=\frac{r}{1}$ for r ∈ R and 𝜓 : M → M_Nil(R) by ${\psi}(x)=\frac{x}{1}$ for x ∈ M. Then 𝜓(M) is a 𝜙(R)-module. An R-module P is said to be 𝜙-projective if 𝜓(P) is projective as a 𝜙(R)-module. In this paper, 𝜙-exact sequences and 𝜙-projective R-modules are introduced and the rings over which all R-modules are 𝜙-projective are investigated.
