ABSTRACT
Let R be a commutative ring with 1, and M is a (left) R-module. We introduce the concept of coprimarily packed submodules as a proper submodule N of an R-module M which is said to be Coprimarily Packed Submodule. If

is a primary submodule of M for each

We end this paper by explaining the relations between p-compactly packed and coprimarily packed submodules, and also the relations between strongly p-compactly packed and strongly coprimarily packed submodules.

1. Introduction
Coprimely packed rings were introduced by Erdo˘gdu for the first time in [1] . Al-Ani gave an analogous concept in modules [2] , that is, a proper submodule N of an R-module M which is called Coprimely Packed. If
where
is a prime submodule of M for each
, then
for some
. If there exists
such that
, then N is called Strongly Coprimely Packed submodule.
In this paper, we discuss the situation where the union of a family of primary submodules of M is considered.
In [2] , the concept of compactly packed modules was introduced. We generalized this concept to the concept of p-compactly packed modules in [3] , that is, a proper submodule N of an R-module M which is called
P-Compactly Packed. If for each family
of primary submodules of M with
, there ex-
ist
such that
. If
for some
, then N is called Strongly
P-Compactly Packed. A module M is said to be P-Compactly Packed (Strongly P-Compactly Packed), if every proper submodule of M is p-compactly packed (strongly p-compactly packed).
In this paper, we introduce the definitions of coprimarily packed and strongly coprimarily packed module and discuss some of their properties. We end this paper by explaining the relations between p-compactly packed and coprimarily packed submodules, and also the relations between strongly p-compactly packed and strongly coprimarily packed submodules.
2. Coprimarily Packed and Strongly Coprimarily Packed Submodules
In this section we introduce the definition of coprimarily packed and strongly coprimarily packed module and discuss some of their properties.
2.1. Definition
Let N be a proper submodule of an R-module M. N is said to be Coprimarily Packed Submodule if whenever
where
is a primary submodule of M for each
, then
for some
. When there exists
such that
, N is called Strongly Coprimarily Packed submodule.
A module M is called Coprimarily Packed (Strongly Coprimarily Packed) module if every proper submodule of M is coprimarily packed (strongly coprimarily packed) submodule. It is clear that every strongly coprimarily packed submodule is a coprimarily packed submodule.
In the following proposition, we discuss the behavior of strongly coprimarily packed module under homomorphism.
2.2. Proposition
Let
be an epimorphism. If M is an R-module such that
for every primary submodule N of M, then M is a strongly coprimarily packed module if and only if
is a strongly coprimarily packed module.
Proof. Suppose that M is a strongly coprimarily packed module and let
where
is a proper submodule of
and
is a primary submodule of
for each
, so
.
is a primary submodule of M for each
there exists
such that
.
We must show.
Suppose, let
so there exists
and
such that
. Since f is an epimorphism there exists
such that
,
, and
.
Thus, so
, this implies
. Since
,
, and
, so
, hence
,
this implies
which is a contradiction. So
is a strongly coprimarily packed module.
Conversely, suppose
is a strongly coprimarily packed module and let
, where N is a proper submodule of M and
is a primary submodule of M for each
. Hence
and since
for each
,
is a primary submodule of
, there exists
such that
.
Suppose
and let
, since f is an epimorphism, there exists
such that
and there exists
and
such that
. Then
, hence
, so
). It follows
which is a contradiction, thus
, so M is a strongly coprimarily packed modul.
The following proposition gives a characterization of strongly coprimarily packed submodules in a multiplication or finitely generated module.
2.3. Proposition
Let M be a finitely generated or multiplication R-module. A proper submodule N is strongly coprimarily packed if and only if whenever
where
is a maximal submodule of M for each
then there exists
such that
.
Proof. Suppose N is a strongly coprimarily packed submodule and let
where
is a maximal submodule of M for each
, hence
is a primary submodule, so there exists
such that
. But
and
is a maximal submodule, hence
thus
.
Conversely, let
where
is a primary submodule for each
. There exists a maximal submodule
that contains
for each
, hence
. By hypothesis, there ex- ists
such that
, but
so
, thus N is a strongly coprimarily packed submodule.
Recall that an R-module M is called Bezout Module if every finitely generated submodule of M is cyclic.
In the following proposition we will give a characterization for strongly coprimarily packed multiplication module.
2.4. Proposition
Let M be a multiplication R-module. If one of the following holds:
1) M is a cyclic module.
2) R is a Bezout ring.
3) M is a Bezout module.
Then M is strongly coprimarily packed module if and only if every primary submodule is strongly coprimarily packed.
Proof. Let N be a proper submodule of a module M such that
where
is a maximal submodule of M for each
, then by proposition (2.3), it is enough to show that there exists
such that
.
First, if, since N is a submodule of a multiplication module, there exists a primary submodule L that contains N. By hypothesis, L is strongly coprimarily packed submodule and
, so there exists
such that
hence
.
Now, if, let
and
, so
is an
-closed subset of M. Since
, so
thus there exists a submodule K that contains N and K is a maximal in
[1] , K is prime [1] , so it is primary submodule. Thus by hypothesis K is strongly coprimarily packed and since
and by proposition (2.3) there exists
such that
.
We end this Paper by looking at the relations between the strongly p-compactly packed modules and strongly coprimarily packed modules.
Recall that a proper submodule N of an R-module M is called P-Compactly Packed if for each family
of primary submodules of M with, there exist
such that
. If
for some
, then N is called Strongly P-Compactly Packed. A module M is said to be P-Com- pactly Packed (Strongly P-Compactly Packed) if every proper submodule of M is p-compactly packed (strongly p-compactly packed).
It is easy to show that every strongly p-compactly packed submodule is a strongly coprimarily packed submodule.
2.5. Proposition
If M is a p-compactly packed module, which cannot be written as a finite union of primary submodules, then M is a coprimarily packed module.
Proof. Let
where N is a proper submodule and
is a primary submodule of M for each
. Since M is a p-compactly packed module then there exists
such that
.
We claim that, let
so there exists
and
such that
. Then there exists
such that
, hence
, so
, thus
.
By hypothesis
therefore
.
2.6. Definition
Let M be a non-zero module, M is called Primary Module if the zero-submodule of M is a primary submodule.
2.7. Proposition
If M is a multiplication or finitely generated strongly p-compactly packed module, then M is a strongly coprimarily packed module. The converse holds if M is a primary module such that every primary submodule of M contains no non-trivial primary submodule.
Proof. Suppose M is a primary module such that every primary submodule of M contains no non-trivial primary submodule. Let N be a proper submodule of M such that
where
is a primary submodule of M for each
. Without loss of generality we can suppose that
, for each
. Then
is a maximal submodule of M, for each
. Since M is strongly coprimarily packed module, there exists
, such that
; but
is a maximal submodule and
. This implies
, and hence
. Therefore M is a strongly p-compactly packed module.
The other direction is trivial.
