 | | Since many modules met in practice have indecomposable decompositions, a natural problem arises: when such a decompositon is unique up to an equivalence, or, more generally, when two direct decompositions have equivalent refinements. |
 | | We show that the hypotheses of Azumaya's Theorem can be replaced by those that the summands have the exchange property, we show that for indecomposable modules the 2-exchange property is equivalent to the finite exchange property, and we prove that a finite direct sum of modules with the exchange property has it also. |
 | | In sections 4, 5, 6 we present the known classes of modules with the exchange property: strongly-invariant submodules of pure-injective modules, injective modules and their generalizations (quasi-injective and continuous modules), some classes of projective modules. |
