Some remarks on Nonnil-coherent rings and ϕ-IF rings

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring. If the nilpotent radical [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is a divided prime ideal, then [Formula: see text] is called a [Formula: see text]-ring. In this paper, we first distinguish the classes of nonnil-coherent rings and [Formula: see text]-coherent rings introduced by Bacem and Ali [Nonnil-coherent rings, Beitr. Algebra Geom. 57(2) (2016) 297–305], and then characterize nonnil-coherent rings in terms of [Formula: see text]-flat modules, nonnil-injective modules and nonnil-FP-injective modules. A [Formula: see text]-ring [Formula: see text] is called a [Formula: see text]-IF ring if any nonnil-injective module is [Formula: see text]-flat. We obtain some module-theoretic characterizations of [Formula: see text]-IF rings. Two examples are given to distinguish [Formula: see text]-IF rings and IF [Formula: see text]-rings.
