Abstract

The notions of faithfully projective, faithfully flat, and faithfully injective modules--defined as modules for which the three classical homological functors are both faithful and exact--play fundamental roles across various areas of algebra. In this paper, we extend these notions to the setting of ww-operation theory. By introducing the concept of ww-faithfully exact functors, we define and investigate the notions of ww-faithfully projective, ww-faithfully flat, and ww-faithfully injective modules. We establish their fundamental properties and demonstrate their effectiveness in generalizing classical results.
