ABSTRACT
Belshoff and Xu showed that every Matlis reflexive module has a Matlis reflexive injective hull if and only if R is complete and has dimension less than or equal to 1. In this paper, we give a characterization of the closedness of taking injective hulls for a Serre subcategory consisting of Minimax modules. In addition, the closedness of taking injective hulls for a Serre subcategory consisting of extension modules of finitely generated modules by modules with finite support is characterized by the number of prime ideals. Our results provide a negative answer to Aghapournahr and Melkersson’s question concerning Melkersson subcategories.
