Abstract

In this note I take the opportunity to correct the last statement of Part I of same title and continue the study of uniform purity of epimorphisms in order to derive the main result, which states that--provided RRKR_R\in \langle\cal K\rangle, equivalently, L\langle \cal L\rangle (the definable subcategory generated by L\cal L) contains all absolutely pure left modules--every countably generated K\cal K-Mittag-Leffler module in L\langle \cal L\rangle is a direct summand of a L\langle \cal L\rangle-preenvelope of a union of an L\cal L-pure ω\omega-chain of finitely presented modules. In conclusion I present a number of examples that starts with and grew out of the study of L\cal L-purity (of monomorphisms in Z\Bbb{Z}-Mod) for L\cal L, the definable subcategory of divisible abelian groups. Rings that get particular attention in this are RD-rings, Warfield rings and (the newly introduced) high rings.
