Modules in which every submodule is isomorphic to a direct summand is called virtually semisimple. In this article, we carry out a study of virtually semisimple modules over a commutative ring R. A structure theorem of finitely generated virtually semisimple R-modules is given. Also, it is proven that if every submodule of an R-module M is virtually semisimple, then M=⊕ i∈IMi where I is an index set and for each i, MinAss(Mi)=Pi,R/Pi is a principal ideal domain and Mi=Si ⊕ Ti with semisimple and torsionfree (R/Pi)-modules Si and Ti, respectively. As an application of our “structure theorem,” we give a characterization of commutative rings for which each proper ideal is virtually semisimple.
