Let A be the ring obtained by localizing the polynomial ring κ[X, Y, Z, W ] over a field κ at the maximal ideal (X, Y, Z, W) and modulo the ideal (XW − Y Z). Let p be the ideal of A generated by X and Y. We study the module structure of a minimal injective resolution of A/p in details using local cohomology. Applications include the description of Ext i A (M, A/p), where M is a module construct...

Purity in module categories and its different generalizations have been present in the literature since the 1960s. Apart from its special role in module theory, the importance of purity increased during the last two decades through the developments of model theory and the study of locally finitely presented categories (e.g., [2, 6]). In the module theory context, that will be our framework, a p...

The study of modules over a finite von Neumann algebra A can be advanced by the use of torsion theories. In this work, some torsion theories for A are presented, compared and studied. In particular, we prove that the torsion theory (T,P) (in which a module is torsion if it is zero-dimensional) is equal to both Lambek and Goldie torsion theories for A. Using torsion theories, we describe the inj...

A module is called uniseriat if it has a unique composition series of finite length. A ring (always with 1) is called serial if its right and left free modules are direct sums of uniserial modules. Nakayama, who called these rings generalized uniserial rings, proved [21, Theorem 171 that every finitely generated module over a serial ring is a direct sum of uniserial modules. In section one we g...

Abstract Assume that k is an algebraically closed field and A a finite-dimensional wild -algebra. Recently, L. Gregory M. Prest proved in this case the width of lattice all pointed -modules undefined. Hence result Ziegler implies there exists super-decomposable pure-injective -module, if base countable. Here we give different straightforward proof fact. Namely, show special family -modules, cal...

Consider a field k of characteristic p > 0, G(r) the r-th Frobenius kernel of a smooth algebraic group G, DG(r) the Drinfeld double of G(r), and M a finite dimensional DG(r)-module. We prove that the cohomology algebra H(DG(r), k) is finitely generated and that H(DG(r),M) is a finitely generated module over this cohomology algebra. We exhibit a finite map of algebras θr : H(G(r), k) ⊗ S(g) → H(...

We study the connection between the axiom of choice and the principles of existence of enough projective and injective abehan groups. We also introduce a weak choice principle that says, roughly, that the axiom of choice is violated in only a set of different ways. This principle holds in all ordinary Fraenkel-Mostowski-Specker and Cohen models where choice fails, and it implies, among other th...
