In this paper, we introduce and investigate the latticial counterparts of the conditions (Ci), i = 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, for modules. In particular, we study the lattices satisfying the condition (C1), we call CC lattices (for Closed are Complements), i.e. the lattices such that any closed element is a complement, that are the latticial counterparts of CS modules (for Closed are Summands). Applications of these results are given to Grothendieck categories and module categories equipped with a torsion theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study module theoretic definitions of the Baer and related ring concepts. We say a module is s.Baer if the right annihilator of a nonempty subset of the module is generated by an idempotent in the ring. We show that s.Baer modules satisfy a number of closure properties. Under certain conditions, a torsion theory is established for the s.Baer modules, and we provide examples of s.Baer torsion modules and modules with a nonzero s.Baer radical. The other principal interest of this paper is to provide explicit connections between s.Baer modules and projective modules. Among other results, we show that every s.Baer module is an essential extension of a projective module. Additionally, we prove, with limited and natural assumptions, that in a generalized triangular matrix ring every s.Baer submodule of the ring is projective. As an application, we show that every prime ring with a minimal right ideal has the strong summand intersection property. Numerous examples are provided to illustrate, motivate, and delimit the theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For an ordinal α, a modular lattice L with 0 and 1 is α-atomic if L has dual Krull dimension α but each interval [0,x] with x < 1 has dual Krull dimension <α. The properties of α-atomic lattices are presented and applied to module theory. The endomorphism ring of certain types of α-atomic modules is a local domain and hence there is a Krull–Schmidt type theorem for those α-atomic modules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
