$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Let $M$ be a pure-injective module. Then $\Hom(\varphi,M)$ is surjective for a pure-mono $\varphi$. It is well-known that $\varphi$ is a direct limit of split monos $\...

I am not sure whether this question is appropriate to appear here. If not, I apologize for that. Given an $R$-module $M$, we define its Pontrjagin dual as $M^{\ast}=Hom_{\mathbb{Z}}(M, \mathbb{Q/Z})$. ...

It is known that a ring $R$ is noetherian if and only if direct sums of injective $R$-modules are injective if and only if every injective $R$-module is a direct sum of indecomposable injective $R$-...

1, Why do people pay special attention to Q/Z in the definition of cofree modules instead of ordinary abelian groups? 2, Over a PID, is every injective module cofree? Just like the relationship ...

Let $A$ be any ring and consider modules on the left. For $M$ $A$-module, the trace $Tr(M,A)$ is a two-sided ideal of $A$. If $A$ is a unitary ring then: $Tr(P,A)P=P$, for $P$ projective; $Tr(P,A)^2=...

In the category of $\mathbb{Z}$-modules, there exists a module $A$---for instance $\bigoplus_{k=2}^\infty \mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$---such that a $\mathbb{Z}$-module $B$ is injective iff $\operatorname{...
