In 1966 [1], Auslander introduced a class of finitely generated modules having a certain complete resolution by projective modules. Then using these modules, he defined the G-dimension (G ostensibly for Gorenstein) of finitely generated modules. It seems appropriate then to call the modules of G-dimension 0 the Gorenstein projective modules. In [4], Gorenstein projective modules (whether finite...

We initiate the study of 1-torsion of finite modules over two-sided noetherian semiperfect rings. In particular, we give a criterion for determining when the 1-torsion submodule contains minimal generators of the module. We also provide an explicit construction for a projective cover of the submodule generated by the torsion elements in the top of the module. Some of the obtained results hold w...

Abstract We uncover a connection between the model-theoretic notion of superstability and that noetherian rings pure-semisimple rings. characterize via class left modules with embeddings. Theorem 0.1 For ring R following are equivalent. (1) is noetherian. (2) The R-modules embeddings superstable. (3) every ? ? | + ? 0 , there ? such has uniqueness limit models cardinality ?. (4) Every model in ...

We obtain a complete structural characterization of Cohn-Leavitt algebras over no-exit objects as graded involutive algebras. Corollaries of this result include graph-theoretic conditions characterizing when a Leavitt path algebra is a directed union of (graded) matricial algebras over the underlying field and over the algebra of Laurent polynomials and when the monoid of isomorphism classes of...

for making many comments and corrections concerning these notes. All rings are commutative and contain multiplicative identity, moreover we will always insist that ring homomorphisms respect the multiplicative identity element. Local rings are assumed to be Noetherian. Additionally, all modules are unitary modules. We have made an attempt to be consistent with our notation: (1) Rings are often ...

We study classes of modules over a commutative ring which allow to do homological algebra relative to such a class. We classify those classes consisting of injective modules by certain subsets of ideals. When the ring is Noetherian the subsets are precisely the generization closed subsets of the spectrum of the ring.

We classify all the localizing subcategories of the derived category D(R) of modules over a noetherian ring R, after developing the theory of unbounded complexes over R. Then, we use this classification to classify thick subcategories of the derived category D(R)proj of bounded complexes of projective modules over R, and prove Balmer’s reconstruction theorem in the affine case.
