Abstract It is undoubtedly that modules and rings are ubiquitous objects of abstract algebra and they are delight to construct. A natural strategy for investigating the structure of a ring is to consider a given set of conditions on the modules it admits. The study of rings and modules would be de- cient without a connection with homological algebra. In the solar system of homological algebra the sun is certainly the theory of projective and injective modules. If R is an associative ring with 1 then every R-module M can be embedded in an injective R-module. Among the injective modules that contain M there is a minimal one called the injective hull of M, denoted by E(M). The injective hull of M is unique up to isomorphism and in some sense, it is the best approximation of M by an injective module. The concept of essential extensions will prove to be indispensable in dealing with uniform dimensions and in the formation of the injective hull of modules which is crucial for the theory of rings of quotients. Injective modules are closely related to essential extensions. Actually, a module is injective if and only if it has no proper essential extensions. During the past twenty years, the theory of injective modules has enjoyed a period of vigorous development. The concept of injectivity has been extended and characterizations of quasi-Frobenius rings, perfect rings, Kasch rings, and semiartinian rings in terms of extended injectivities of modules have been established,[1],[9],[15],[20]. The motivation underlying graded rings and modules is almost contrary to the one of representation theory. The graded methods are not aiming to obtain information about the grading group of the graded ring R = 2GR. On the contrary, the existence of a G-gradation is used to relate R and Re, e is the unit element of G, or graded to ungraded properties of R. Graded rings have been proved to be a very satisfactory tool in the study of algebraic geometry where they are used to gain information about projective varieties, [21],[10]. This thesis has two predominant objectives. On one hand, we investigate the relation between the concept of graded essential extensions and graded injectivity of graded modules. Actually, a characterization of the graded injective hull in terms of graded essential extensions is deduced and graded versions of (Echman-Schopf) theorem [16] and (Papp-Bass) theorem [4] has been proved. On the other hand, we study one of the most important extensions of graded injectivity, namely the graded soc-injectivity. Roughly speaking, after dening the graded soc-injectivity of graded modules we provide characterizations of semiartinian graded rings, graded noetherian rings, and graded quasi-Frobenius rings in terms of graded soc-injectivity. The new results we have obtained so far are displayed in the third chapter of this dissertation. The thesis consists of three chapters. The rst chapter provides the preliminaries and some background material to be used in the subsequent chapters. The second chapter consists of two sections. The rst section is devoted to the study of graded injective module. We proved Baer’s theorem for injectivity of graded modules. Actually, the proof is a slight modication of the proof in the ungraded case. The importance of Baer’s criterion is a clear consequence of its iterated use throughout the thesis. The relation between injectivity and graded injectivity is discussed. In the second section we investigate the concept of H-injective graded modules, where H is a subgroup of the grading group G, as displayed in [18]. The well-known result of Higman about H-injective modules over strongly graded rings is presented.The third chapter is divided into two sections. In the rst section we study basic properties of essential extensions of graded modules. The graded injective hull of a graded module is characterized in terms of graded essential extensions. The graded versions of the well-known Echman-Schopf theorem and Papp-Bass theorem for injective modules over noetherian rings have been proved. The second section is devoted to the study of one of the most important extended injectivity concepts of graded modules which is the graded socinjectivity. Actually, we introduce and investigate the concepts of graded soc-injectivity and strongly soc-injectivity. We study the relation between these concepts and the graded semi-simplicity as well as the graded projectivity of graded modules. We round o by establishing important characterization of graded semiartinian rings, graded quasi-Frobenius rings, and graded noetherian rings in terms of graded soc-injectivity of graded modules.
