## Galois connections between lattices of preradicals induced by ring epimorphisms.(English)Zbl 1453.16032

The authors introduced the concept of a Galois connection between the lattices of predradicals $$R$$-pr and $$S$$-pr of two rings $$R$$ and $$S$$ induced by any adjoint pair of functors between the categories in an earlier paper [the authors, Appl. Categ. Struct. 24, No. 3, 241–268 (2016; Zbl 1345.16030)]). The paper under review continues this study. For the Galois connection $$\langle \phi , \psi \rangle$$ induced by the adjoint pair $$\langle F , G \rangle$$ of functors, several results concerning preradicals are found. Let $$R$$ and $$S$$ be associative rings with identity and let $$\tau$$ be any preradical over $$R$$ and $$\sigma$$ any preradical over $$S$$. Then the pretorsion-free class associated with $$\phi (\tau)$$ and the pretorsion class associated with $$\psi (\sigma )$$ are described explicitly. It is also shown that $$\phi$$ preserves idempotency and $$\psi$$ preserves radicals.
If $$f:A \rightarrow B$$ is a ring homomorphism, then two pairs of adjoint functors $$\langle F,G \rangle$$ and $$\langle G,H \rangle$$ exist with induced Galois connections $$\langle \phi , \psi \rangle$$ and $$\langle \zeta , \xi \rangle$$ respectively. If $$\tau$$ is a preradical on $$A$$ and $$N$$ is a $$B$$-submodule, then $$\psi(\tau)(N)$$ is shown to be the least $$B$$-submodule containing $$\tau(_{A}N)$$ and $$\xi(\tau)(N)$$ is shown to be the greatest $$B$$-submodule of $$N$$ that is contained in $$\tau(_{A}N)$$. This leads to a description of the pretorsion and pretorsion-free classes that correspond to the induced Galois connections.
Whereas the earlier paper of the authors [loc. cit.] focused on the case where $$S$$ is a quotient ring, a slightly more general setting is considered here, viz. the case where $$f:A \rightarrow B$$ is a ring epimorphism. In this case, it is shown that $$\psi (\sigma)$$ is the greatest and $$\zeta(\sigma)$$ is the least extension of any preradical $$\sigma$$ on $$B$$ and it follows that $$\phi$$ and $$\xi$$ are surjective and $$\psi$$ and $$\zeta$$ are injective. The class of all extensions of any preradical $$\sigma$$ on $$A$$ is characterized. If $$\tau$$ is an idempotent preradical (resp. radical) on $$B$$, then it is proved that the interval $$[\zeta(\tau), \psi(\tau)]$$ is closed under products (resp. coproducts). Characterizations are also found for the equalities $$\phi = \xi$$ and $$\psi = \zeta$$ to be true.
