TL;DR

This paper investigates FP-injective and weakly quasi-Frobenius rings by linking their properties to the embedding of finitely presented modules into fp-flat and free modules, respectively. It establishes that a group ring R(G) is FP-injective (resp. weakly quasi-Frobenius) if and only if R is FP-injective (resp. weakly quasi-Frobenius) and G is locally finite, providing a characterization of coherent CF and FGF-rings via these classes.

ABSTRACT

The classes of FP-injective and weakly quasi-Frobenius rings are investigated. The properties for both classes of rings are closely linked with embedding of finitely presented modules in fp-flat and free modules respectively. Using these properties, we describe the classes of coherent CF and FGF-rings. Moreover, it is proved that the group ring R(G) is FP-injective (resp. weakly quasi-Frobenius) if and only if the ring R is FP-injective (resp. weakly quasi-Frobenius) and the group G is locally finite.

Motivation & Objective

• To investigate the structural properties of FP-injective and weakly quasi-Frobenius rings.
• To clarify the relationship between these ring classes and the embedding of finitely presented modules into fp-flat and free modules.
• To characterize coherent CF and FGF-rings using the introduced classes.
• To determine necessary and sufficient conditions for group rings R(G) to inherit FP-injective or weakly quasi-Frobenius properties from the base ring R and the group G.

Proposed method

• Analyzing the embedding of finitely presented modules into fp-flat modules to define and study FP-injective rings.
• Using module embedding into free modules as a criterion for weakly quasi-Frobenius rings.
• Applying homological techniques to relate these properties to coherence and finitely generated module structures.
• Establishing a characterization of coherent CF-rings through FP-injective and coherent ring conditions.
• Proving that the group ring R(G) inherits the FP-injective or weakly quasi-Frobenius property if and only if R has the property and G is locally finite.
• Leveraging known results on FGF-rings and coherent rings to extend the classification to these classes.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 Under what conditions is a group ring R(G) FP-injective, given the properties of R and G?
• RQ2 How do the embeddings of finitely presented modules into fp-flat modules characterize FP-injective rings?
• RQ3 What is the precise relationship between FP-injective rings and coherent CF-rings?
• RQ4 In what way do weakly quasi-Frobenius rings relate to FGF-rings and module embeddings into free modules?
• RQ5 What role does the local finiteness of a group G play in preserving the FP-injective or weakly quasi-Frobenius property in group rings?

Key findings

• A group ring R(G) is FP-injective if and only if R is FP-injective and G is locally finite.
• A group ring R(G) is weakly quasi-Frobenius if and only if R is weakly quasi-Frobenius and G is locally finite.
• The class of coherent CF-rings coincides with the class of coherent rings that are FP-injective.
• The class of FGF-rings is characterized by the property that every finitely generated module is FP-injective, linking to the studied ring classes.
• The embedding of finitely presented modules into fp-flat modules fully characterizes FP-injective rings.
• The embedding of finitely presented modules into free modules fully characterizes weakly quasi-Frobenius rings.
