When are induction and coinduction functors isomorphic?
Using a lattice-theoretical approach we find characterizations of modules with finite uniform dimension and of modules with finite hollow dimension.
Let Fl(R) denote the category of flat right modules over an associative ring R. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for Fl(R) to be a Grothendieck category, in terms of properties of the ring R.
The intrinsic algebraic entropy ent(ɸ) of an endomorphism ɸ of an Abelian group G can be computed using fully inert subgroups of ɸ-invariant sections of G, instead of the whole family of ɸ-inert subgroups. For a class of groups containing the groups of finite rank, aswell as those groupswhich are trajectories of finitely generated subgroups, it is proved that only fully inert subgroups of the group itself are needed to comput ent(ɸ). Examples show how the situation may be quite different outside...
