Let (R, m) be a Noetherian local ring and M a finitely generated R-module. In this paper, we study some invariants of the idealization R ⋉ M of R and M such as the polynomial type introduced by Cuong [2] and the polynomial type of fractions introduced by Cuong-Minh [3]. As consequences, we characterize the Cohen-Macaulay, generalized Cohen-Macaulay, pseudo Cohen-Macaulay and pseudo generalized Cohen-Macaulay properties of the idealization R ⋉ M.
