Let R be a ring and X a right R-module (all rings have identities and all modulesare unitary). The intersection of all non-zero submodules of X is denoted by μ(X). The module X is called monolithic if and only if μ(X)≠0 and in this case μ(X) is anessential simple submodule of X. (Recall that a submodule Y of X is essential if and only if Y ⊂ A ≠ 0 for every non-zero submodule A of X.) It is well known that a module X is monolithic if and only if there is a simple right R-module U such that X is a submodule of the injective hull E(U) of U. If x is a non-zero element of an arbitrary right. R-module X then by Zorn's Lemma there is a submodule Yx of X maximal with the property x ∉ Yx. It can easily be checked that X/Yx is monolithic and ⊂ Yx = 0, where the intersection is taken over all non-zero elements x of X.
