A NOTE ON SIMPLE SINGULAR GP-INJECTIVE MODULES

We investigate characterizations of rings whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. It is proved that if R is a semiprime ring whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective, then the center $Z(R)$ of R is a von Neumann regular ring. We consider the condition ($^*$): R satisfies $l(a){\subseteq}r(a)$ for any $a{\in}R$. Also it is shown that if R satisfies ($^*$) and every simple singular right R-module is GP-injective, then R is a reduced weakly regular ring.
