Some Properties of Generalized Fractions

Let A be a commutative ring with identity and M an A-module. When $U_n$ is a triangular subset of $A_n$, Sharp and Zakeri defined a module of generalized fractions $U_n^{-n}M$. In [SZ3], they described a relation of the Monomial Conjecture and a module of generalized fractions under the condition of a Noetherian local ring. In this paper, we investigate some properties of non-zero generalized fractions and give a generalization of results of Sharp and Zakeri for an arbitrary ring.
