We find the model completion of the theory modules over A, where A is a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field K. This is done in a context where the field K and the module are represented by sorts in the theory, so that constructible sets associated with a module can be interpreted in this language. The language is expanded by additional sorts for the Grassmanians of all powers of...

For a one-dimensional local domain CM constructed by Akizuki, we find residue maps which give rise to a local duality. The completion of CM is described using these residue maps. Injective hulls of a given module are all isomorphic. For this reason, people often speak of the injective hull to indicate its “uniqueness”. However, isomorphisms between these injective hulls are not canonical. In fa...

This lectures were given by Florian Enescu at the mini-course on classical problems in commutative algebra held at University of Utah, June 2004. The references listed were used extensively in preparing these notes and the author makes no claim of originality. Moreover, he encourages the reader to consult these references for more details and many more results that had to be omitted due to time...

We study certain ltrations of indecomposable injective modules over classical Lie superalgebras, applying a general approach for noetherian rings developed by Brown, Jategaonkar, Lenagan, and Warreld. To indicate the consequences of our analysis, suppose that g is a complex classical simple Lie superalgebra and that E is an indecomposable injective g-module with nonzero (and so necessarily simp...

Any continuous, transitive, piecewise monotonic map is determined up to a binary choice by its dimension module with the associated finite sequence of generators. The dimension module by itself determines the topological entropy of any transitive piecewise monotonic map, and determines any transitive unimodal map up to conjugacy. For a transitive piecewise monotonic map which is not essentially...

We consider projectivity and injectivity of Hilbert C*-modules in the categories of Hilbert C*-(bi-)modules over a fixed C*-algebra of coefficients (and another fixed C*-algebra represented as bounded module operators) and bounded (bi-)module morphisms, either necessarily adjointable or arbitrary ones. As a consequence of these investigations, we obtain a set of equivalent conditions characteri...

We characterize the finiteness of the representation type of an artin algebra in terms of the behavior of the projective covers and the injective envelopes of the simple modules with respect to the infinite radical of the module category. In case the algebra is representation-finite, we show that the nilpotency of the radical of the module category is the maximal depth of the composites of thes...

Let R be a ring and M a right R-module. Ng (1984) defined the finitely presented dimension f p dim M of M as inf n there exists an exact sequence Pn+1 → Pn → · · · → P0 → M → 0 of right R-modules, where each Pi is projective, and Pn+1 Pn are finitely generated . If no such sequence exists for any n, set f p dim M = . The right finitely presented dimension r f p dim R of R is defined as sup f p ...
