Abstract
Let R and S be arbitrary associative rings. A left R-module W-R is said to be cotilting if the class of modules cogenerated by W-R coincides with the class of modules for which the functor Ext(R)(1)(-, W) vanishes. In this paper we characterize the cotilting modules which are pure-injective. The two notions seem to be strictly connected: Indeed all the examples of cotilting modules known in the literature are pure-injective. We observe that if W-R(S) is a pure-injective cotilting bimodule, both R and S are semiregular rings and we give a characterization of the reflexive modules in terms of a suitable "linear compactness" notion.File in questo prodotto:
