A Euclidian is a natural extension of a Euclidian ring. Any
nonzero submodule of a Euclidian R-module is a cyclic
R-module. It is shown that a torsion free cyclic R-module is
Euclidian if and only if R is a Euclidian ring. The concept of
side divisors and universal side divisors in a ring are
generalized and studied in the cyclic modules. It is shown that a
torsion free cyclic R-module has no universal side divisors if
and only if R has no universal divisors. Also, a torsion free
cycbic R-module with no universal side divisors over an integral
domain can never be a Euclidian R-module. Stable R-modules are
defined and it is shown that any torsion free cyclic R-module is
stable if and only if R is a stable ring. Finally, it is shown
that a stable torsion free cyclic R-module over a principal
ideal domain is a Euclidian R-module.
All rings (unless otherwise indicated) are commutative rings with
identity and modules are unitary modules.
