Duality between injective envelopes and flat covers

Commutative Algebra 2023-10-17 v2

Abstract

We establish a duality between injective envelopes and flat covers over a commutative Noetherian ring. One case of this duality states that a morphism is an injective envelope, if and only if its Matlis dual is a flat cover. We also show that if we swap injective envelopes and flat covers in this duality, neither implication is true in general.
