  Abstract:
t is well known that the concept of left serial ring is a Morita invariant property and a theorem due to Nakayama and Skornyakov states that “for a ring R , all left R -modules are serial if and only if R is an Artinian serial ring”. Most recently the notions of “prime uniserial modules” and “prime serial modules” have been introduced and studied by Behboodi and Fazelpour in [Prime uniserial modules and rings, submitted; Noetherian rings whose modules are prime serial, Algebras and Represent. Theory 19 (4) (2016) 11 pp]. An R -module M is called prime uniserial ( ℘ -uniserial ) if its prime submodules are linearly ordered with respect to inclusion, and an R -module M is called prime serial ( ℘ -serial )if M is a direct sum of ℘ -uniserial modules. In this paper, it is shown that the ℘ -serial property is a Morita invariant property. Also, we study what happens if, in the above Nakayama–Skornyakov Theorem, instead of considering rings for which all modules are serial, we consider rings for which every ℘ -serial module is serial. Let R be Morita equivalent to a commutative ring S . It is shown that every ℘ -uniserial left R -module is uniserial if and only if R is a zero-dimensional arithmetic ring with J ( R ) T-nilpotent. Moreover, if S is Noetherian, then every ℘ -serial left R -module is serial if and only if R is serial ring with dim( R ) ≤ 1
