If $\tau$ is a hereditary torsion theory on ${\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R$ and $Q_{\tau }:{\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R\to {\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R$ is the localization functor, then we show that every $f$-derivation $d:M\to N$ has a unique extension to an $f_{\tau }$-derivation $d_{\tau }:Q_{\tau }\left(M\right)\to Q_{\tau }\left(N\right)$ when $\tau$ is a differential torsion theory on ${\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R$. Dually, it is shown that if $\tau$ is cohereditary and $C_{\tau }:{\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R\to {\mathrm{𝐌𝐨𝐝}}_R$ is the colocalization functor, then every $f$-derivation $d:M\to N$ can be lifted uniquely to an $f_{\tau }$-derivation $d_{\tau }:C_{\tau }\left(M\right)\to C_{\tau }\left(N\right)$.

Let $R$ be a ring. A left $R$-module $M$ is called an FC-module if $M^{+}={Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}}(M,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$ is a flat right $R$-module. In this paper, some homological properties of FC-modules are given. Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer and ${\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n$ the class of all left $R$-modules $M$ such that the flat dimension of $M^{+}$ is less than or equal to $n$. It is shown that $({}^{\perp }\left({\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp }\right),{\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp })$ is a complete cotorsion pair and if $R$ is a ring such that $fd\left({\left({}_{R}R\right)}^{+}\right)\le n$ and ${\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n$ is closed under direct sums, then $({\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n,{\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp })$ is a perfect cotorsion pair. In particular, some known results are obtained as corollaries....

We characterize C*-algebras and C*-modules such that every maximal right ideal (resp. right submodule) is algebraically finitely generated. In particular, C*-algebras satisfy the Dales-Żelazko conjecture.

For any module M over an associative ring R, let σ[M] denote the smallest Grothendieck subcategory of Mod-R containing M. If σ[M] is locally finitely presented the notions of purity and pure injectivity are defined in σ[M]. In this paper the relationship between these notions and the corresponding notions defined in Mod-R is investigated, and the connection between the resulting Ziegler spectra is discussed. An example is given of an M such that σ[M] does not contain any non-zero finitely presented...

The strong global dimension of a finite dimensional algebra A is the maximum of the width of indecomposable bounded differential complexes of finite dimensional projective A-modules. We prove that the strong global dimension of a finite dimensional radical square zero algebra A over an algebraically closed field is finite if and only if A is piecewise hereditary. Moreover, we discuss results concerning the finiteness of the strong global dimension of algebras and the related problem on the density...

The purpose of this note is to show how calculi on unital associative algebra with universal right bimodule generalize previously studied constructions by Pusz and Woronowicz [1989] and by Wess and Zumino [1990] and that in this language results are in a natural context, are easier to describe and handle. As a by-product we obtain intrinsic, coordinate-free and basis-independent generalization of the first order noncommutative differential calculi with partial derivatives.
