On torsion free distributive modulesNaser ZamaniFaculty of Science, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, P.O.box 179, Ardabil, Iran; e-mail: naserzaka@yahoo.comAbstract: Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be a torsion free $R$-module. Several characterizations of distributive modules are investigated. Indeed, among other equivalent conditions, we prove that $M$ is distributive if and only if any primal submodule of $M$ is irreducible, and, if and only if each submodule of $M$ can be represented as an intersection of irreducible isolated components. Keywords: distributive modules, associated primes Classification (MSC2000): 13C99 Full text of the article:
