Finitely projective modules with respect to a semidualizing module

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring. We define and study [Formula: see text]-projective modules with respect to a semidualizing [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text], which are called [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]-projective modules. As consequences, we characterize several rings such as [Formula: see text]-coherent rings and Artinian rings using [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]-projective modules. Some known results are extended.
