Abstract

In this paper, we compare (n,m)(n,m)-purities for different pairs of positive integers (n,m)(n,m). When RR is a commutative ring, these purities are not equivalent if RR doesn't satisfy the following property: there exists a positive integer pp such that, for each maximal ideal PP, every finitely generated ideal of RPR_P is pp-generated. When this property holds, then the (n,m)(n,m)-purity and the (n,m)(n,m')-purity are equivalent if mm and mm' are integers np\geq np. These results are obtained by a generalization of Warfield's methods. There are also some interesting results when RR is a semiperfect strongly π\pi-regular ring. We also compare (n,m)(n,m)-flatnesses and (n,m)(n,m)-injectivities for different pairs of positive integers (n,m)(n,m). In particular, if RR is right perfect and right self (0,1)(\aleph_0,1)-injective, then each (1,1)(1,1)-flat right RR-module is projective. In several cases, for each positive integer pp, all (n,p)(n,p)-flatnesses are equivalent. But there are some examples where the (1,p)(1,p)-flatness is not equivalent to the (1,p+1)(1,p+1)-flatness.
