We give a criterion for the existence of a super-decomposable pure-injective module over an arbitrary serial ring.

Let R be a ring and M a right R-module. M is called n-FP-projective if Ext M N = 0 for any right R-module N of FP-injective dimension ≤n, where n is a nonnegative integer or n = . R M is defined as sup n M is n-FP-projective and R M = −1 if Ext M N = 0 for some FP-injective right R-module N. The right -dimension r -dim R of R is defined to be the least nonnegative integer n such that R M ≥ n im...

We develop a suitable version of the stable module category of a finite group G over an arbitrary commutative ring k. The purpose of the construction is to produce a compactly generated triangulated category whose compact objects are the finitely presented kG-modules. The main idea is to form a localisation of the usual version of the stable module category with respect to the filtered colimits...

Let Λ be an Artinian algebra and F an additive subbifunctor of ExtΛ(−,−) having enough projectives and injectives. We prove that the dualizing subvarieties of mod Λ closed under F -extensions have F -almost split sequences. Let T be an F -cotilting module in mod Λ and S a cotilting module over Γ = End(T ). Then Hom(−, T ) induces a duality between F -almost split sequences in ⊥F T and almost sp...

In this paper we show that a direct decomposition of modules M N, with N homologically independent to the inJective hull of H, is a CS-module if and only if N is injective relative to H and both of M and N are CS-modules. As an application, we prove that a direct sum of a non-singular semisimple module and a quasi-continuous module with zero socle is quasi-continuous. This result is known for q...

We investigate the notion of the C-projective dimension of a module, where C is a semidualizing module. When C = R, this recovers the standard projective dimension. We show that three natural definitions of finite Cprojective dimension agree, and investigate the relationship between relative cohomology modules and absolute cohomology modules in this setting. Finally, we prove several results th...

Unlike the Gorenstein projective and injective dimensions, the majority of results on the Gorenstein flat dimension have been established only over Noetherian (or coherent) rings. Naturally, one would like to generalize these results to any associative ring. In this direction, we show that the Gorenstein flat dimension is a refinement of the classical flat dimension over any ring; and we invest...
