A (right R-) module N is said to be a Whitehead test module for projectivity (shortly: a p-test module) provided for each module M , ExtR(M,N) = 0 implies M is projective. Dually, i-test modules are defined. For example, Z is a p-test abelian group iff each Whitehead group is free. Our first main result says that if R is a right hereditary non-right perfect ring, then the existence of p-test mo...

We will generalize the projective model structure in the category of unbounded complexes of modules over a commutative ring to the category of unbounded complexes of quasi-coherent sheaves over the projective line. Concretely we will define a locally projective model structure in the category of complexes of quasicoherent sheaves on the projective line. In this model structure the cofibrant obj...

In the first part of this paper the projective dimension of the structural modules in the BGG category O is studied. This dimension is computed for simple, standard and costandard modules. For tilting and injective modules an explicit conjecture relating the result to Lusztig’s a-function is formulated (and proved for type A). The second part deals with the extension algebra of Verma modules. I...

We describe new classes of noetherian local rings R whose finitely generated modules M have the property that ToriR(M,M)=0 for i≫0 implies has finite projective dimension, or ExtRi(M,M)=0 dimension injective dimension.

A module M is called epi-retractable if every submodule of M is a homomorphic image of M. Dually, a module M is called co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of each of its factor modules. In special case, a ring R is called co-pli (resp. co-pri) if RR (resp. RR) is co-epi-retractable. It is proved that if R is a left principal right duo ring, then every left ideal of R is an epi-retractable ...

An artin algebra is called CM-free provided that all its finitely generated Gorenstein projective modules are projective. We show that a connected artin algebra with radical square zero is either self-injective or CM-free. As a consequence, we prove that a connected artin algebra with radical square zero is Gorenstein if and only if its valued quiver is either an oriented cycle with the trivial...

 Let $R$ be a ring‎, ‎and let $n‎, ‎d$ be non-negative integers‎. ‎A right $R$-module $M$ is called $(n‎, ‎d)$-projective if $Ext^{d+1}_R(M‎, ‎A)=0$ for every $n$-copresented right $R$-module $A$‎. ‎$R$ is called right $n$-cocoherent if every $n$-copresented right $R$-module is $(n+1)$-coprese-nted‎, ‎it is called a right co-$(n,d)$-ring if every right $R$-module is $(n‎, ‎d)$-projective‎. ‎$R$...
