Abstract. The structures of Hopfian and
co-Hopfian modules over commutative rings are studied. The notation of semi
Hopfian (resp. semi co-Hopfian) modules as a generalization of that of
Hopfian (resp. co-Hopfian) modules was introduced in [2]. A
characterization of semi Hopfian modules by using certain sets of prime
ideals is given. Also, it is shown the analogue of Hilbert's Basis Theorem
is valid for semi Hopficity, to the effect that an R-module M is semi
Hopfian if and only if M[X] is a semi Hopfian R[X] -module. Moreover, we shall prove the dual of these results
for semi co-Hopfian modules.
