Abstract

Let RR be a ring with unity and X\mathcal{X} a semibrick in the module category ModR\mathrm{Mod}\,R, that is, a class of pairwise orthogonal finitely presented modules whose endomorphism rings are division rings. We study the full subcategory Filt(X)\mathrm{Filt}(\mathcal{X}) consisting of all modules admitting a filtration with factors in X\mathcal{X}. We show that Filt(X)\mathrm{Filt}(\mathcal{X}) is a wide subcategory of ModR\mathrm{Mod}\,R. For the Ext-orthogonal class X={MModRExtR1(X,M)=0 for all XX} \mathcal{X}^{\perp} = \{M \in \mathrm{Mod}\,R \mid \operatorname{Ext}^1_R(X,M)=0 \text{ for all } X \in \mathcal{X}\} we construct, for every module YY, an X\mathcal{X}^{\perp}-envelope YX()Y_{\mathcal{X}}(\infty) as a direct limit of iterated universal short exact sequences. Assume that every XXX \in \mathcal{X} has projective dimension at most one and that HomR(X,R)=0\operatorname{Hom}_R(X,R)=0 for all XXX \in \mathcal{X}. Then the envelope RX()R_{\mathcal{X}}(\infty) of the regular module is isomorphic to the universal localization RXR_{\mathcal{X}} of RR at X\mathcal{X} in the sense of Schofield. The X\mathcal{X}^{\perp}-envelopes of modules in X\mathcal{X} are called Pr\"ufer modules since they share many properties with classical Pr\"ufer groups and with Pr\"ufer modules over tame hereditary algebras. We prove that every injective object in Filt(X)\mathrm{Filt}(\mathcal{X}) is a direct sum of such Pr\"ufer modules.
