We define the compact universal cover of a compact, metrizable connected space (i.e. a continuum) X to be the inverse limit of all continua that regularly cover X. We show that such covers do indeed form an inverse system with bonding maps…
In this paper, we investigate the notions of $\mathcal{X}^\bot$-projective, $\mathcal{X}$-injective and $\mathcal{X}$-flat modules and give some characterizations of these modules, where $\mathcal{X}$ is a class of left $R$-modules. We…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a class of finitely presented $R$-modules such that $R\in \mathcal{S}$ and $\mathcal{S}$ has a subset $\mathcal{S}^*,$ with the property that for any $U\in \mathcal{S}$ there is a $U^*\in \mathcal{S}^*$ with $U^*\cong…
A classic result by Bass says that the class of all projective modules is covering, if and only if it is closed under direct limits. Enochs extended the if-part by showing that every class of modules $\mathcal C$, which is precovering and…
Let $R$ be an arbitrary ring and $(-)^+=\Hom_{\mathbb{Z}}(-, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$ where $\mathbb{Z}$ is the ring of integers and $\mathbb{Q}$ is the ring of rational numbers, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a subcategory of left $R$-modules and…
We show that if a class of modules is closed under pure quotients, then it is precovering if and only if it is covering, and this happens if and only if it is closed under direct sums. This is inspired by a dual result by Rada and…
Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of modules over a ring $R$, closed under direct sums over index sets of cardinality $\kappa$ and isomorphisms, and such that the isomorphism classes form a set. The monoid of modules $V(\mathcal C)$ encodes the…
The C*-envelope of the limit algebra (or limit space) of a contractive regular system of digraph algebras (or digraph spaces) is shown to be an approximately finite C*-algebra and the direct system for the C*-envelope is determined…
Let $\sum (X)$ be the collection of subalgebras of $C(X)$ containing $C^{*}(X)$, where $X$ is a Tychonoff space. For any $A(X)\in \sum(X)$ there is associated a subset $\upsilon_{A}(X)$ of $\beta X$ which is an $A$-analogue of the Hewitt…
Enochs' conjecture asserts that each covering class of modules (over any fixed ring) has to be closed under direct limits. Although various special cases of the conjecture have been verified, the conjecture remains open in its full…
Inspired by a recent work of Buchweitz and Flenner, we show that, for a semidualizing bimodule $C$, $C$--perfect complexes have the ability to detect when a ring is strongly regular. It is shown that there exists a class of modules which…
Let $\Sigma (X,\mathbb{C})$ denote the collection of all the rings between $C^*(X,\mathbb{C})$ and $C(X,\mathbb{C})$. We show that there is a natural correlation between the absolutely convex ideals/ prime ideals/maximal…
Using the theory of resolving classes, we show that if $X$ is a CW complex of finite type such that $\map_*(X, S^{2n+1})\sim *$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $\map_*(X, K) \sim *$ for every simply-connected finite-dimensional CW…
Let $X$ be a connected compact complex manifold admitting a finite surjective map $A \to X$ from a complex torus $A.$ We prove that up to finite \'etale cover, $X$ is a product of projective spaces and a torus.
We prove that every distinct covering system has a modulus divisible by either 2 or 3.
For a connected regular scheme X, flat and of finite type over Spec(Z), we construct a reciprocity homomorphism \rho_X: C_X --> \pi_1^\ab(X), which is surjective and whose kernel is the connected component of the identity. The (topological)…
We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism, and as a groupoid…
We investigate when the categories of all rational $A$-modules and of finite dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of $C^*$-modules, where $C^*$ is the cofinite topological completion of $A$. We give a…
For a commutative noetherian ring A, we compare the support of a complex of A-modules with the support of its cohomology. This leads to a classification of all full subcategories of A-modules which are thick (that is, closed under taking…
Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of modules and $\mathcal L = \varinjlim \mathcal C$ the class of all direct limits of modules from $\mathcal C$. The class $\mathcal L$ is well understood when $\mathcal C$ consists of finitely presented modules:…
