The homotopy category of acyclic complexes of pure-projective modules

Abstract

Let RR be any ring with identity. We show that the homotopy category of all acyclic chain complexes of pure-projective RR-modules is a compactly generated triangulated category. We do this by constructing abelian model structures that put this homotopy category into a recollement with two other compactly generated triangulated categories: The usual derived category of RR and the pure derived category of RR. This also gives a new model for the derived category.
