Cofibrant generation of pure monomorphisms

Category Theory 2020-01-16 v3 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

We show that pure monomorphisms are cofibrantly generated---generated from a set of morphisms by pushouts, transfinite composition, and retracts---in any locally finitely presentable additive category. In particular, this is true in any category of RR-modules.
