Modules which are isomorphic to their factor modules. (English) Zbl 1266.13006

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity. An infinite unitary \(R\)-module \(M\) is called homomorphically congruent (HC for short) if \(M/N\cong M\) for every submodule \(N\) of \(M\) such that \(|M/N| = |M|\). The authors prove some general results on HC modules, including HC module-theoretic characterizations of discrete valuation rings, almost Dedekind domains, and fields. Then they provide a characterization of the HC modules over a Dedekind domain. They close the paper with some open questions.
