The aim of this paper is to study a property of a special kind of exact functors and give some applications to projective modules and injective modules.

In section 1 we introduce the notion of faithfully exact functors [Definition 1] as a generalization of the functor T(X) = X⊗M, where M is a faithfully flat module, and give a property of this class of functors [Theorem 1.1]. Next, applying this general theory to functors ⊗ and Horn, we define the notion of faithfully projective modules [Definition 2] and faithfully injective modules [Definition 3]. In the commutative case “faithfully projective” means, however, simply “projective and faithfully flat” [Proposition 2.3]. In section 2, equivalent conditions for a projective module P to be faithfully projective are given [Theorem 2.2, Proposition 2. 3 and 2.4]. And a simpler proof is given to Y. Hinohara’s result [6] asserting that projective modules over an indecomposable weakly noetherian ring are faithfully flat [Proposition 2.5]. In section 3, we consider faithfully injective modules.
