Abstract

$ R $ is supposed to be an associative ring with identity and $ M $ be a unital left $R$-module. In this paper, we present the concept of a $D31$-module that generalizes the concept of a $D3$-module introduced in [14] and studied in [25] . A module $M$ is termed as $ D31 $-module if, whenever $ W $ and $ X $ are summands of $ M $ with $ W + X = M $ and $ W $ is cosingular, we have $ W \cap X $ is a direct summand of $ M $. We explore fundamental properties of these modules and establish that the class of rings $ R $ such that every $ D31 $-module is also a $ D3 $-module coincides precisely with the class of COSP-rings. Additionally, we examine the connections between $ D31 $-modules and other related module classes.
