The notation in this paper will be standard and it may be found in [2] or [8]. Throughout the paper, the notation A ⊂' B will mean that A is an essential submodule of the module B. Given an arbitrary ring R and R-modules M and N, we say that M is weakly N-injective if and only if every map φ:NE(M) from N into the injective hull E(M) of M may be written as a composition σ〫 , where :NM and σ:ME(M) is a monomorphism. This is equivalent to saying that for every map φ:NE(M), there exists a submodule X of E(M), isomorphic to M, such that φ(N) is contained in X. In particular, M is weakly R-injective if and only if, for every xE(M), there exists XE(M) such that xXM. We say that M is weakly-injective if and only if it is weakly N-innjective for every finitely generated module N. Clearly, M is weakly-injective if and only if, for every finitely generated submodule N of E(M), there exists XE(M) such that NXM.
