When are torsionless modules projective?

Abstract: In this paper, we study the problem when a finitely generated torsionless module is projective. Let Λ be an Artinian local algebra with radical square zero. Then a finitely generated torsionless Λ-module M is projective if . For a commutative Artinian ring Λ, a finitely generated torsionless Λ-module M is projective if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) for ; and (2) for . As a consequence of this result, we have that for a commutative Artinian ring Λ, a finitely generated Gorenstein projective Λ-module is projective if and only if it is selforthogonal.
