Kamal, Mahmoud A.; Yousef, Ahmed On principally lifting modules. (English) Zbl 1128.16002 Int. Electron. J. Algebra 2, 127-137 (2007). Discrete (quasi-discrete) modules form an important class in module theory. The class of lifting modules is obtained by considering only one of the defining conditions of quasi-discrete modules, namely the condition (D\(_1\)). Here the authors focus on and study principally lifting modules, or modules with the condition (PD\(_1\)). These modules are generalizations of lifting modules. The authors also study direct sums of P-hollow (semi-hollow) modules. They introduce the definition of relative P-projectivity, which is essential to examine direct sums of hollow, and of P-hollow (semi-hollow), modules for being principally lifting. Quasi-discrete modules are always direct sums of hollow submodules, the authors show that finite dimensional modules with the condition (PD\(_1\)) are direct sums of P-hollow (semi-hollow) submodules. In addition, the authors also obtain some properties for modules with (PD\(_1\)), which are in analogy with the known properties for lifting modules.
