A new construction is given of non-standard uniserial modules over certain valuation domains; the construction resembles that of a special Aronszajn tree in set theory. A consequence is the proof of a sufficient condition for the existence of non-standard uniserial modules; this is a theorem of ZFC which complements an earlier independence result.

We generalize two major ways of obtaining derived equivalences, the tilting process by Happel, Reiten and Smalø and Happel’s Tilting Theorem, to the setting of finitely presented modules over right coherent rings. Moreover, we extend the characterization of quasi–tilted artin algebras as the almost hereditary ones to all right noetherian rings. We also give a streamlined and general presentatio...
