Let R be a subring of the rationals. We want to investigate self splitting R-modules G that is Ext_R(G,G)=0 holds. For simplicity we will call such modules splitters. Our investigation continues math.LO/9910159. In math.LO/9910159, we…

Let R be a subring of Q and recall from math.LO/9910161 that an R-module G is a splitter if Ext_R(G,G)=0. We correct the statement of Main Theorem 1.5 in math.LO/9910161. Assuming CH any aleph_1$-free splitter of cardinality aleph_1 is free…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with total quotient ring $K$. An $R$-module $M$ is called simple divisible, if $M$ is divisible $\neq 0$, but every proper submodule $0 \neq U \subsetneqq M$ is not divisible.…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for…

Let R be a countable, principal ideal domain which is not a field and A be a countable R-algebra which is free as an R-module. Then we will construct an aleph_1-free R-module G of rank aleph_1 with endomorphism algebra End_RG=A . Clearly…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, and let $S$ be a multiplicative subset of $R$. In this paper, we investigate the notion of $S$-cotorsion modules. An $R$-module $C$ is called $S$-cotorsion if $\text{Ext}^{1}_{R}(F,C) = 0$ for every $S$-flat…

Let $S$ be a deeply embedded, equicharacteristic, Artinian Gorenstein local ring. We prove that if $R$ is a non-Gorenstein quotient of $S$ of small colength, then every totally reflexive $R$-module is free. Indeed, the second syzygy of the…

The dimension of any module over an algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is defined using a trace on ${\mathcal A}.$ All zero-dimensional ${\mathcal U}$-modules constitute the torsion…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Denote by mod R the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study n-torsionfree modules in the sense of Auslander and Bridger, by comparing them with n-syzygy modules, and modules…

The main result is Theorem: Let A be an R-algebra, mu, lambda be cardinals such that |A|<=mu=mu^{aleph_0}<lambda<=2^mu. If A is aleph_0-cotorsion-free or A is countably free, respectively, then there exists an aleph_0-cotorsion-free or a…

We study the classes of modules which are generated by a silting module. In the case of either hereditary or perfect rings it is proved that these are exactly the torsion $\mathcal{T}$ such that the regular module has a special…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian commutative ring and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{pd_R} M\le 1$ that has rank. Necessary and sufficient conditions were provided by Lebelt for an exterior power $\wedge^k M$ to be torsion free. When $M$ is…

We introduce a general version of singular compactness theorem which makes it possible to show that being a $\Sigma$-cotorsion module is a property of the complete theory of the module. As an application of the powerful tools developed…

We construct embeddings G of the category of graphs into categories of R-modules over a commutative ring R which are almost full in the sense that the maps induced by the functoriality of G R[Hom_Graphs(X,Y)] --> Hom_R(GX,GY) are…

In this paper, we develop the theory of multiple Rota-Baxter modules over multiple Rota-Baxter algebras. We introduce left, right, and bimodule structures and construct free $\Omega$-operated modules with mixable tensor establishing free…

In this paper we improve recent results dealing with cellular covers of $R$-modules. Cellular covers (sometimes called co-localizations) come up in the context of homotopical localization of topological spaces. They are related to…

The structure of minimal free resolutions of finite modules M over commutative local rings (R,m,k) with m^3=0 and rank_k(m^2) < rank_k(m/m^2)is studied. It is proved that over generic R every M has a Koszul syzygy module. Explicit families…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Assume that $R$ has a pair $\{x,y\}$ of exact zerodivisors such that $\dim R/(x,y)\ge2$ and all totally reflexive $R/(x)$-modules are free. We show that the first and second Brauer--Thrall…

Given a multiplicative subset $S$ in a commutative ring $R$, we consider $S$-weakly cotorsion and $S$-strongly flat $R$-modules, and show that all $R$-modules have $S$-strongly flat covers if and only if all flat $R$-modules are…

We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…
