Example of a module that is finitely generated, finitely cogenerated and linearly compact, but not Artinian!

226 Views Asked by At

I need an example of a module that is finitely generated, finitely cogenerated and also linearly compact (in discrete topology) but not Artinian.

In fact I proved a theorem with this strong assumptions and I am not sure that there is such a module except finitely generated Artinian modules (and my result for finitely generated Artinian modules is obvious). For the definition of finitely cogenerated modules one can see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitely_generated_module. Can anyone give me such an example. Thanks a lot.

If you take a Noetherian commutative local ring $R$, complete in the $\mathfrak{m}$-adic topology ($\mathfrak{m}$ the maximal ideal and $E$ the injective envelope of $R/\mathfrak{m}$, then the canonical embedding $R\to\operatorname{End}(E_R)$ is an isomorphism (Matlis, 1958). The trivial extension of $E$ by $R$, that is the ring $A=R\times E$ with operations $$ (r,x)+(s,y)=(r+s,x+y),\qquad (r,x)(s,y)=(rs,ry+xs) $$ is then a ring with a Morita duality induced by the bimodule $_AA_A$ (Dikranjan, Gregorio and Orsatti, 1991, Example 1.13). In particular it is finitely cogenerated and also linearly compact in the discrete topology (Müller, 1970).

There are three examples in this search of rings which, considered as modules over themselves, have that property.

The easiest one to re-describe here is the trivial extension of the Prufer group $\mathbb Z(p^\infty)$ by $\mathbb Z$. (Its label there is "Finitely cogenerated, not semilocal ring".)
