Coretractable modules relative to a submodule

Abstract

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ a right $R$-module. Let $N$ be a proper submodule of $M$. We say that $M$ is $N$-coretractable (or $M$ is coretractable relative to $N$) provided that, for every proper submodule $K$ of $M$ containing $N$, there is a nonzero homomorphism $f:M/K\rightarrow M$. We present some conditions that a module $M$ is coretractable if and only if $M$ is coretractable relative to a submodule $N$. We also provide some examples to illustrate special cases.
