We uncover a connection between the model-theoretic notion of superstability and that of noetherian rings and pure-semisimple rings. We characterize noetherian rings via superstability of the class of left modules with embeddings.…
We obtain a characterization of left perfect rings via superstability of the class of flat left modules with pure embeddings. $\mathbf{Theorem.}$ For a ring $R$ the following are equivalent. - $R$ is left perfect. - The class of flat left…
We study limit models in the abstract elementary class of modules with embeddings as algebraic objects. We characterize parametrized noetherian rings using the degree of injectivity of certain limit models. We show that the number of limit…
We show that every deconstructible class of modules with all embeddings, all pure embedding and all RD-embeddings is stable. The argument is presented in the context of abstract classes of modules without amalgamation and the key idea is to…
We study Martsinkovsky-Russell torsion modules [MaRu20] with pure embeddings as an abstract elementary class. We give a model-theoretic characterization of the pure-injective and the $\Sigma$-pure-injective modules relative to the class of…
A module over a ring $R$ is pure projective provided it is isomorphic to a direct summand of a direct sum of finitely presented modules. We develop tools for the classification of pure projective modules over commutative noetherian rings.…
Fisher [Fis75] and Baur [Bau75] showed independently in the seventies that if $T$ is a complete first-order theory extending the theory of modules, then the class of models of $T$ with pure embeddings is stable. In [Maz4, 2.12], it is asked…
It is proved that a module M over a commutative noetherian ring R is injective if Ext^i((R/p)_p,M)=0 holds for every i\ge 1 and every prime ideal p in R. This leads to the following characterization of injective modules: If F is faithfully…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $D$ an $R$-module. It is shown that if $D$ is pure injective, then $D$ is isomorphic to a direct summand of the direct product of a family of finitely embedded modules. As a result, it follows…
We use the type theory for rings of operators due to Kaplansky to describe the structure of modules that are invariant under automorphisms of their injective envelopes. Also, we highlight the importance of Boolean rings in the study of such…
The purpose of the present paper is to prove some properties of the strongly irreducible submodules in the arithmetical and Noetherian modules over a commutative ring. The relationship among the families of strongly irreducible submodules,…
Injective, pure-injective and fp-injective modules are well known to provide for approximations in the category Mod-R for an arbitrary ring R. We prove that this fails for many other generalizations of injectivity: the $C_1$, $C_2$, $C_3$,…
Injective modules play an important role in characterizing different classes of rings (e.g. Noetherian rings, semisimple rings). Some semirings have no non-zero injective semimodules (e.g. the semiring of non-negative integers). In this…
Both the classes of $R$-coneat injective modules and its superclass, pure Baer injective modules, are shown to be preenveloping. The former class is contained in another one, namely, self coneat injectives, i.e. modules $M$ for which every…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We give criteria for flatness of $R$-modules in terms of associated primes and torsion-freeness of certain tensor products. This allows us to develop a criterion for regularity if $R$ has…
For any ring R we construct two triangulated categories, each admitting a functor from R-modules that sends projective and injective modules to 0. When R is a quasi-Frobenius or Gorenstein ring, these triangulated categories agree with each…
Let $\Lambda$ be a left and right noetherian ring and $\mod \Lambda$ the category of finitely generated left $\Lambda$-modules. In this paper we show the following results: (1) For a positive integer $k$, the condition that the subcategory…
Let $R$ a commutative ring, $\mathfrak{a} \subset R$ an ideal, $I$ an injective $R$-module and $S \subset R$ a multiplicatively closed set. When $R$ is Noetherian it is well-known that the $\mathfrak{a}$-torsion sub-module…
We show that certain classes of modules have universal models with respect to pure embeddings. $Theorem.$ Let $R$ be a ring, $T$ a first-order theory with an infinite model extending the theory of $R$-modules and $K^T=(Mod(T), \leq_{pp})$…
