Annihilator large-superfluous submodules

In this paper, we investigate certain class of submodules which contains that of superfluous submodules. A submodule W of an R-module M is annihilator large-superfluous, if ℓ S (V) ≠ 0 implies that W + V ≠ M where V is a large in M and S = End R (M). Several properties and characterizations of such submodules are consider. For α∈ S, we study under what conditions the image of α, Im(α) being annihilator large – superfluous submodule in M. We show that W S (M) = { α∈ S │Im(α) is annihilator large-superfluous in M } equal to { α∈ S │ lm(α) is large-superfluous } under certain class of projectivity. The sum E R (M) of all such submodules of M contains J e (M) and Z s (M). If M is cyclic, then E R (M) is the unique largest annihilator large-superfluous in M.
