Leonid Positselski (IM CAS):
PRECOVERS AND COVERS OF DIRECT LIMITS OF MODULES AND CONTRAMODULES

Abstract: There are two main results to be explained in this talk: 1. a simple elementary proof of the Enochs conjecture for the left class of an n-tilting cotorsion pair in a Grothendieck category, and 2. a direct limit of projective contramodules is projective if it has a projective cover. Both results are obtained from an argument about precovers and covers of direct limits, based on considerations of local splitness. This talk is based on a joint work with Silvana Bazzoni and Jan Stovicek.

The Algebra Seminar was founded by Vladimir Korinek in the early 1950's and continued by Karel Drbohlav until 1981. The seminar resumed its activities in 1990 under the guidance of Jaroslav Jezek and Tomas Kepka. Since 1994, the seminar is headed by Jan Trlifaj.

Presently, the seminar is supported by ECI and GACR. It serves primarily as a platform for presentation of recent research of the visitors to the ECI and to the Department of Algebra, as well as members of the Department and their students.
