It is shown that when q is a primitive root of unity of order not equal to 2 mod 4, A(SL_q(2)) is a free module of finite rank over the coordinate ring of the classical group SL(2). An explicit set of generators is provided.

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…

We show that if 2^{aleph_0} Cohen reals are added to the universe, then for every reduced non-free torsion-free abelian group A of cardinality less than the continuum, there is a prime p so that Ext_p(A, Z) not= 0. In particular if it is…

We show that the condition of being categorical in a tail of cardinals can be characterized for the class of $R$-modules of the form $\Add(M)$. More precisely, let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be an $R$-module which can be generated by $\leq…

Let M, N be free modules over a Noetherian commutative ring R and let F be a field such that card(F) does not exceed the continuum. Then : (1) The assertion that [Any two F-vector spaces with isomorphic duals are isomorphic] is equivallent…

Let R be a commutative ring with unity and a let A be a not necessarily commutative R-algebra which is free as an R-module. If I is an ideal in A, one can ask when A/I is also free as an R-module. We show that if A has an admissible system…

We show that the condition of being categorical in a tail of cardinals can be characterized algebraically for several classes of modules. $Theorem.$ Assume $R$ is an associative ring with unity. 1. The class of locally pure-injective…

We investigate some aspects of the module $L$ equipped with the property that $Tor_1^R(L, F) =0$ implies that $F$ is free. This has some applications.

Let $R$ be a real smooth affine domain of dimension $3$ such that $R$ has either no real maximal ideals or the intersection of all real maximal ideals in $R$ has height at least $1$. Then we prove that all stably free $R$-modules of rank…

We study the fundamental group of the $p$-subgroup complex of a finite group $G$. We show first that $\pi_1(A_3(A_{10}))$ is not a free group (here $A_{10}$ is the alternating group on $10$ letters). This is the first concrete example in…

We study modules over a generalized Weyl algebra $R(\sigma,a)$ which are free when restricted to the base ring $R$. When $R$ is an integral domain, we construct all such finite-rank modules up to isomorphism, leading to new simple modules…

On the category of bounded complexes of finitely generated free squarefree modules over the polynomial ring S, there is the standard duality functor D = Hom_S(-, omega_S) and the Alexander duality functor A. The composition AD is an…

Let $R$ be local Noetherian ring of depth at least two. We prove that there are indecomposable $R$-modules which are free on the punctured spectrum of constant, arbitrarily large, rank.

We investigate the category of U(h)-free g-modules. Using a functor from this category to the category of coherent families, we show that U(h)-free modules only can exist when g is of type A or C. We then proceed to classify isomorphism…

A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…

In this paper we study algebras of modular forms on unitary groups of signature $(n,1)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebra of unitary modular forms to be free in terms of the modular Jacobian. As a corollary we…

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 $\mathcal D$…

A set $M$ of nonzero integers is said to split a finite abelian group $G$ if there exists a subset $S\subseteq G$ such that $M\cdot S = G\setminus\{0\}$. Such a splitting is called purely singular if every prime divisor of $|G|$ divides…

We prove that every distributive algebraic lattice with at most $\aleph\_1$ compact elements is isomorphic to the normal subgroup lattice of some group and to the submodule lattice of some right module. The $\aleph\_1$ bound is optimal, as…

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $S$ a semigroup. Our goal is to discuss zero-divisors of the semigroup module $M[S]$. Particularly we show that if $M$ is an $R$-module and $S$ a commutative, cancellative and torsion-free monoid, then the…
