In this paper we improve recent results dealing with cellular covers of R-modules. Cellular covers (sometimes called colocalizations) come up in the context of homotopical localization of topological spaces. They are related to idempotent cotriples, idempotent comonads or coreflectors in category theory. Recall that a homomorphism of R-modules π: G → H is called a cellular cover over H if π induces an isomorphism $\pi ⁎:Ho{m}_R(G,G)\cong Ho{m}_R(G,H)$, where π⁎(φ) = πφ for each $\phi \in Ho{m}_R(G,G)$ (where maps are acting on the left). On the one hand,...
