Related papers: The Flat Cover Conjecture for Monoid Acts
Recently two different concepts of covers of acts over monoids have been studied. That based on coessential epimorphisms and that based on Enochs' definition of a flat cover of a module over a ring. Two recent papers have suggested that in…
This paper discusses necessary and sufficient conditions on a monoid S, such that the class of C-flat left $S$-acts is axiomatisable, where C is the class of all embeddings (of right ideals into S) of right S-acts. We consider the…
A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. This is a finiteness condition, and we investigate whether or not it is preserved under some standard…
We characterise when the pure monomorphisms in a presheaf category $\mathbf{Set}^\mathcal{C}$ are cofibrantly generated in terms of the category $\mathcal{C}$. In particular, when $\mathcal{C}$ is a monoid $S$ this characterises cofibrant…
In 2001 Enoch's celebrated flat cover conjecture was finally proven and the proofs (two different proofs were presented in the same paper [4]) have since generated a great deal of interest among researchers. In particular the results have…
In this paper we prove that for a monoid $S$, products of indecomposable right $S$-acts are indecomposable if and only if $S$ contains a right zero. Besides, we prove that subacts of indecomposable right $S$-acts are indecomposable if and…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given a full subcategory $\mathcal{U}$ such that every object of $\mathcal{S}$ can be embedded into some object of $\mathcal{U}$ in the same way as every quasi-projective…
A monoid $S$ is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right $S$-act is finitely presented. The corresponding notion for a ring $R$ states that every finitely generated submodule of every finitely…
If $\mathcal{C}$ is a cocomplete monoidal category in which tensoring from both sides preserves coequalizers, then the category of monoids over $\mathcal{C}$ is cocomplete. The same holds if $\mathcal{C}$ has regular factorizations and…
Enochs Conjecture asserts that each covering class of modules (over any 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 generality. In…
With every reduced $E$-Fountain semigroup $S$ which satisfies the generalized right ample condition we associate a category with zero morphisms $\mathcal{C}(S)$. Under some assumptions we prove an isomorphism of $\Bbbk$-algebras $\Bbbk…
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…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given two (non-full) subcategories $\mathcal{S}^{sm}$ and $\mathcal{S}^{cl}$ that generate all morphisms of $\mathcal{S}$ under composition in the same way as morphisms of…
Consider an algebraic semigroup $S$ and its closed subscheme of idempotents, $E(S)$. When $S$ is commutative, we show that $E(S)$ is finite and reduced; if in addition $S$ is irreducible, then $E(S)$ is contained in a smallest closed…
We study classes of proper restriction semigroups determined by properties of partial actions underlying them. These properties include strongness, antistrongness, being defined by a homomorphism, being an action etc. Of particular interest…
A monoid $S$ is said to be weakly right coherent if every finitely generated right ideal of $S$ is finitely presented as a right $S$-act. It is known that $S$ is weakly right coherent if and only if it satisfies the following conditions:…
This is the second in a series of articles surveying the body of work on the model theory of S-acts over a monoid S. The first concentrated on the theory of regular S-acts. Here we review the material on model-theoretic properties of free,…
Let R be a Dedekind domain. Enochs' solution of the Flat Cover Conjecture was extended as follows: (*) If C is a cotorsion pair generated by a class of cotorsion modules, then C is cogenerated by a set. We show that (*) is the best result…
Skew-monoidal categories arise when the associator and the left and right units of a monoidal category are, in a specific way, not invertible. We prove that the closed skew-monoidal structures on the category of right R-modules are…
In this paper, we first introduce the notions of superfluous and coessential subacts. Then hollow and co-uniform S-acts are defined as the acts that all proper subacts are superfluous and coessential, respectively. Also it is indicated that…
