Abstract

We prove that a right RR-module MM is Σ\Sigma-pure injective if and only if Add(M)Prod(M)\mathrm{Add}(M)\subseteq \mathrm{Prod}(M). Consequently, if RR is a unital ring, the homotopy category K(Mod-R)\mathbf{K}({\mathrm{Mod}\text{-} R}) satisfies the Brown Representability Theorem if and only if the dual category has the same property. We also apply the main result to provide new characterizations for right pure-semisimple rings or to give a partial positive answer to a question of G. Bergman.
