  Abstract:
In this paper we carry out a systematic study of modules over a formal triangular matrix ring T=[

]. Using the altenative description of right T-modules as triples (X,Y)f with XModA,YModB and f:YB MX in ModA, we shall characterize respectively uniform, hollow, finitely embedded, projective, generator or progenerator modules over T. For projective modules an explicit method for constructing a dual basis is described. Also necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a T-module to admit a projective cover. When the conditions are fulfilled we give an explicit method for constructing a projective cover.
