Abstract

A module is called automorphism-invariant if it is invariant under automorphisms of its injective envelope. In this paper, we study the endomorphism rings of automorphism-invariant modules and their injective envelopes. We investigate some cases where automorphism-invariant modules are quasi-injective and a connection between automorphism-invariant modules and boolean rings.
