Résumé

Introduction. All rings occurring are associative and possess a unity, which is preserved under subrings and ring homomorphisms. All modules are unitary right modules. We denote the category of rights-modules.In recent years several authors have studied rings R by imposing restrictions on the torsion theories [4] of . (See for instance [2; 23; 24].) This paper offers another alternative to that trend, namely the study of rings R via their set of kernel functors K{R).
