Abstract

Let R be a commutative ring and M be a nonzero R-module. Now Z(M) = {r ∈ R | rm = 0 for some 0 ≠ m ∈ M} is a union of prime ideals of R and T(M) = {m ∈ M | rm = 0 for some 0 ≠ r ∈ R} is a union of prime submodules of M if M ≠ T(M). We investigate representations of Z(M) and T(M) as unions of primes each of which is a union of annihilators.
