The ascent and descent of the Mittag-Leffler property were instrumental in proving Zariski locality of the notion of an (infinite dimensional) vector bundle by Raynaud and Gruson in \cite{RG}. More recently, relative Mittag-Leffler modules…
The classes $\mathcal D _{\mathcal Q}$ of flat relative Mittag-Leffler modules are sandwiched between the class $\mathcal F \mathcal M$ of all flat (absolute) Mittag-Leffler modules, and the class $\mathcal F$ of all flat modules. Building…
Drinfeld recently suggested to replace projective modules by the flat Mittag--Leffler ones in the definition of an infinite dimensional vector bundle on a scheme $X$. Two questions arise: (1) What is the structure of the class $\mathcal D$…
Very flat and contradjusted modules naturally arise in algebraic geometry in the study of contraherent cosheaves over schemes. Here, we investigate the structure and approximation properties of these modules over commutative noetherian…
Mittag-Leffler modules occur naturally in algebra, algebraic geometry, and model theory, [18], [12], [17]. If $R$ is a non-right perfect ring, then it is known that in contrast with the classes of all projective and flat modules, the class…
Let $R$ be any ring. We prove that all direct products of flat right $R$-modules have finite flat dimension if and only if each finitely generated left ideal of $R$ has finite projective dimension relative to the class of all $\mathcal…
A classic result by Raynaud and Gruson says that the notion of an (infinite dimensional) vector bundle is Zariski local. This result may be viewed as a particular instance (for n = 0) of the locality of more general notions of…
Recently the author has studied rings for which products of flat modules have finite flat dimension. In this paper we extend the theory to characterize when products of modules in $\mathcal T$ have finite $\mathcal T$-projective dimension,…
A basic question for any property of quasi--coherent sheaves on a scheme $X$ is whether the property is local, that is, it can be defined using any open affine covering of $X$. Locality follows from the descent of the corresponding module…
A definition of quasi-flat left module is proposed and it is shown that any left module which is either quasi-projective or flat is quasi-flat. A characterization of local commutative rings for which each ideal is quasi-flat (resp.…
We investigate under which assumptions a subclass of flat quasi-coherent shea\-ves on a quasi-compact and semi-separated scheme allows to "mock" the homotopy category of projective modules. Our methods are based on module theoretic…
We study the moduli functor of flat bundles on smooth, possibly non-proper, algebraic variety $X$ (over a field of characteristic zero). For this we introduce the notion of \emph{formal boundary} of $X$, denoted by $\partial X$, which is a…
The approximation classes of modules that arise as components of cotorsion pairs are tied up by Salce's duality. Here we consider general approximation classes of modules and investigate possibilities of dualization in dependence on closure…
Let $R$ be a ring and denote by $\mathcal{FM}$ the class of all flat and Mittag-Leffler left $R$-modules. In \cite{BazzoniStovicek2} it is proved that, if $R$ is countable, the orthogonal class of $\mathcal{FM}$ consists of all cotorsion…
We show that over any ring, the double Ext-orthogonal class to all flat Mittag-Leffler modules contains all countable direct limits of flat Mittag-Leffler modules. If the ring is countable, then the double orthogonal class consists…
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 a commutative ring. Roughly speaking, we prove that an $R$-module $M$ is flat iff it is a direct limit of $R$-module affine algebraic varieties, and $M$ is a flat Mittag-Leffler module iff it is the union of its $R$-submodule…
In this paper, we define a class of relative derived functors in terms of left or right weak flat resolutions to compute the weak flat dimension of modules. Moreover, we investigate two classes of modules larger than that of weak injective…
We study some closely interrelated notions of Homological Algebra: (1) We define a topology on modules over a not-necessarily commutative ring $R$ that coincides with the $R$-topology defined by Matlis when $R$ is commutative. (2) We…
Principal affine open subsets in affine schemes are an important tool in the foundations of algebraic geometry. Given a commutative ring $R$, $\,R$-modules built from the rings of functions on principal affine open subschemes in…
