Abstract:
Let R be a ring with identity and let M be a unital left R-module. A proper submodule L of M is radical if L is an intersection of prime submodules of M. Moreover, a submodule L of M is isolated if, for each proper submodule N of L, there exists a prime submodule K of M such that N is contained in K but L is not contained in K. It is proved that every proper submodule of M is radical (and hence every submodule of M is isolated) if and only if N intersected with IM is equal to IN for every submodule N of M and every (left primitive) ideal I of R. In case, R/P is an Artinian ring for every left primitive ideal P of R it is proved that a finitely generated submodule N of a non-zero left R-module M is isolated if and only if PN equals N intersect PM for every left primitive ideal P of R. If R is a commutative ring then a finitely generated submodule N of a projective R-module M is isolated if and only if N is a direct summand of M.
