Abstract:
Let
R 
be a commutative ring,
n \gt 1 
an integral number. FI
n-injecive and FI
n-flat modules are introduced. We prove that an
R 
-module
M 
is FI
n-injecive if and only if
M 
is a kernel of an FP
n-injecive precover
f\colon A\rightarrow B 
with
A 
is injective. It indicates that an
R 
-module
M 
is a reduced FI
n-injective module if and only if
M 
is a kernel of an FP
n-injecive cover
f\colon A\rightarrow B 
with
A 
is injective. We obtain that an
R 
-module
M 
is FI
n-injecive if and only if
M 
is a direct sum of an injective
R 
-module and a reduced FI
n-injective module. Finally, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions when every
R 
-module is FI
n-flat, if
R 
is
n 
-hereditary.
