Pure-periodic modules and a structure of pure-projective resolutions

Daniel Simson

Vol. 207 (2002), No. 1, 235–256
Abstract

We investigate the structure of pure-syzygy modules in a pure-projective resolution of any right R-module over an associative ring R with an identity element. We show that a right R-module M is pure-projective if and only if there exists an integer n 0 and a pure-exact sequence 0 M Pn P0 M 0 with pure-projective modules Pn,,P0. As a consequence we get the following version of a result in Benson and Goodearl, 2000: A flat module M is projective if M admits an exact sequence 0 M Fn F0 M 0 with projective modules Fn,,F0.
