Abstract
Divisible modules over general rings are considered and a general notion of divisibility is defined. In order to study these divisible modules we generalize the notion of injectivity. One consequence is that rings for which every principal right ideal is projective can be characterized. In addition, a characterization is given of when a submodule of a projective module is projective.
