Abstract

Let R be a ring and M a left R-module. M which satisfies DCC on essential submodules is GCH, and M which satisfies ACC on small submodules is WH. If M[X] is GCH R[X]-module, then M is GCH R-module. Examples show that a GCH module need not be co-Hopfian and a WH module need not be Hopfian.
