It is shown that a commutative Noetherian domain is Dedekind if and only if every simple module is cyclic c− injective. Finally, it is shown that injectivity, principal injectivity, mininjectivity, and simple injectivity are all equal to characterize right V-rings, right GV-rings, right pV-rings, and WV-rings. Key words: c− Injective modules, Dedekind domains, right V-rings, right GV-rings, WV-rings 1. Introduction Throughout this paper, all rings are associative with identity and all modules are unitary (unless otherwise stated). Recall that an integral domain R that is not a field is called a Dedekind domain if every nonzero proper ideal factors into primes. This is equivalent to R being an integrally closed, Noetherian domain with Krull dimension one (. every nonzero prime ideal is maximal). Mermut et al. [10] showed that a commutative Noetherian domain is Dedekind if and only if every simple module is c− injective. According to Baccella [1], a ring R is called a right V-ring (resp. right GV-ring) if every simple (resp. simple singular) right R− module is RR − injective, . injective. According to L´opez-Permouth et al. [9], a ring R is called a right pV-ring provided every simple right R− .
