Let \(R\) be a discrete valuation domain and let \(M\) and \(N\) be mixed \(R\)-modules. Let \(J_M\) and \(J_N\) be the Jacobson radicals of the respective endomorphism rings \(\mathrm{End}(M)\) and \(\mathrm{End}(N)\). If \(J_M\) and \(J_N\) are isomorphic rings, what can be said about the structures of \(M\) and \(N\)?
The author proves that if the torsion module \(T(M)\) of \(M\) has an unbounded basic submodule, then any \(R\)-isomorphism of \(J_M\) onto \(J_N\) induces an isomorphism of \(T(M)\) onto \(T(N)\). Furthermore, the same conclusion holds if \(R\) is complete, \(M\) and \(N\) have torsion-free rank 1, and \(T(M)\) is totally projective and unbounded. Finally, if \(R\) is complete and \(M\) and \(N\) are reduced Warfield modules of finite torsion-free rank, then \(M\cong N\).
