Cotorsion theories cogenerated by א1-free abelian groups

چکیده
Given an א1-free abelian group G we characterize the class CG of all torsion abelian groups T satisfying Ext(G, T ) = 0 assuming the special continuum hypothesis CH. Moreover, in Gödel’s constructable universe we prove that this characterizes CG for arbitrary torsion-free abelian G. It follows that there exist some ugly א1-free abelian groups.

On the Cogeneration of Cotorsion Pairs
Let R be a Dedekind domain. In [6], 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 provable in ZFC in case R has a countable spectrum: the Uniformization Principle UP implies that C is not cogenerated by a set whenever C is a cotorsi...

متن کاملNotes on Cotorsion Theories and Model Categories
These are notes for two talks given by Mark Hovey at the Summer School on the Interactions between Homotopy Theory and Algebra at the University of Chicago, July 26 to August 6, 2004. Because they are notes, they are a bit more chatty and a bit more likely to contain errors than a paper would be, so caveat lector. They are based on the papers [Hov02], [Gil04b], and [Gil04a], and concern the rel...
متن کاملBorel Whitehead Groups
We investigate the Whiteheadness of Borel abelian groups (א1-free, without loss of generality as otherwise this is trivial). We show that CH (and even WCH) implies any such abelian group is free, and always א2-free. 1998 Mathematics Subject Classification 03C60, 03E15, 20K20.
متن کاملSome Nasty Reflexive Groups
In Almost Free Modules, Set-theoretic Methods, Eklof and Mekler [5, p. 455, Problem 12] raised the question about the existence of dual abelian groups G which are not isomorphic to Z ⊕G. Recall that G is a dual group if G ∼= D for some groupD withD = Hom (D,Z). The existence of such groups is not obvious because dual groups are subgroups of cartesian products Z and therefore have very many homo...
