Let R be a subring of the rational numbers ℚ. We recall from [3] that an R-module G is a splitter if . In this note we correct the statement of Main Theorem 1.5 in [3] and discuss the existence of non-free splitters of cardinality ℵ₁ under the negation of the special continuum hypothesis CH.
Let A be a unital strict Banach algebra, and let K + be the one-point compactification of a discrete topological space K. Denote by the weak tensor product of the algebra A and C(K +), the algebra of continuous functions on K +. We prove that if K has sufficiently large cardinality (depending on A), then the strict global dimension is equal to .
An easy explicit construction is given for a full and faithful functor from the bounded derived category of modules over an associative algebra A to the stable category of the repetitive algebra of A. This construction simplifies the one given by Happel.
