This paper extends a characterization of Σ-injective modules, originally established for injective modules, by providing new criteria based on the direct sums of injective and projective modules. Specific theorems are proven, highlighting that for an injective module M, various conditions regarding essential extensions and the structure of these modules are equivalent to Σ-injectivity. The implications of these results are also explored within the context of right noetherian rings, reinforcing the relationships between module properties.

What characterizes Σ-injective modules in terms of essential extensions?
The paper demonstrates that a module M is Σ-injective if every essential extension of M(ℵ₀) is a direct sum of either injective or projective modules.
How does the injective hull relate to Σ-injectivity?
The study reveals that the injective hull E(M) is Σ-injective if each essential extension of M(ℵ₀) is a direct sum of injective or projective modules.
What implications does Σ-injectivity have for right noetherian rings?
It establishes that a ring R is right noetherian if each injective right R-module M's essential extensions are sums of injective or projective modules.
What proofs contribute to understanding Σ-injective modules?
The authors adapt techniques from Guil Asensio and Simson to provide a more succinct proof of Theorem 2 concerning the characterization of Σ-injective modules.
Which module properties are crucial in the characterization of Σ-injective modules?
The characterization relies on the absence of infinite direct sums within cyclic right R-modules related to quasi-injective modules, highlighting finiteness conditions.
