Complete cotorsion pairs in exact categories

Representation Theory 2018-03-08 v2 Category Theory

Abstract

We show a cotorsion pair cogenerated by a class is complete under suitable conditions in an arbitrary exact category using the generalized small object argument given by Chorny. This recovers Saor\'in and \v{S}\v{t}ov\'{i}\v{c}ek's criterion of the completeness of cotorsion pairs in their efficient exact categories. Examples in the categories of chain complexes of exact categories are given.
