Thema:

Pure injectivity revisited

 

 

 

 

 

Zusammenfassung:

 

The study of pure injective (= equationally compact) algebras was initiated by J. Mycielski around 1970. The motivation was the result of I. Kaplansky that pure injective abelian groups are precisely retracts of compact abelian groups. The subject was quite fashionable that time and the treatment was mostly model theoretical. Later, it turned out that pure monomorphisms have a simple categorical description as directed colimits of split monomorphisms. The talk will survey this development. Then, categorical techniques will be used to find a new criterion guaranteeing that a variety has enough pure injectives.
