When we consider modules A over a ring R which is not a commutative integral domain, the usual torsion theory becomes somewhat inadequate, since zero-divisors of R are disregarded and since the torsion elements of A do not in general form a submodule. In this paper we shall try to remedy such defects by modifying the fundamental notions such as torsion modules, divisible modules, etc.
