Abstract

A module is distributive if for submodules A, B and C we have A ∩ ( B + C) = A ∩ B + A ∩ C. We characterize distributive modules by the property that the socle of any quotient of such a module has homogeneous components which are either simple or zero. We prove theorems about rings R such that R R , R R, or both are distributive. Finally, examples are given which show that the endomorphism ring of a distributive module of finite length need be neither left nor right invariant.
