On classes defining a homological dimension

A class $\mathcal F$ of objects of an abelian category $\mathcal A$ is said to define a \emph{homological dimension} if for any object in $\mathcal A$ the length of any $\mathcal F$-resolution is uniquely determined. In the present paper we investigate classes satisfying this property.Comment: to appear in Contribution to Module Theory, de Gruyter 200

Derived dualities induced by a 1-cotilting bimodule

In this paper we characterize the modules and the complexes involved in the dualities induced by a 1-cotilting bimodule in terms of a linear compactness condition. Our result generalizes the classical characterization of reflexive modules with respect to Morita dualities. The linear compactness notion considered, permits us to obtain finiteness properties of the rings and modules involved

Reflexivity in Derived Categories

An adjoint pair of contravariant functors between abelian categories can be extended to the adjoint pair of their derived functors in the associated derived categories. We describe the reflexive complexes and interpret the achieved results in terms of objects of the initial abelian categories. In particular we prove that, for functors of any finite cohomological dimension, the objects of the initial abelian categories which are reflexive as stalk complexes form the largest class where a Cotilting Theorem in the sense of Colby and Fuller works

Pr\ufcfer modules over Leavitt path algebras

Let LK(E) denote the Leavitt path algebra associated to the finite graph E and field K. For any closed path c in E, we define and investigate the uniserial, artinian, non-Noetherian left LK(E)-module U_{E,c 121}. The unique simple factor of each proper submodule of U_{E,c 121}is isomorphic to the Chen simple module V_[c 1e]. In our main result, we classify those closed paths c for which U_{E,c 121} is injective. In this situation, U_{E,c 121} is the injective hull of V_[c 1e]

Pr\"ufer modules over Leavitt path algebras

Let $L_K(E)$ denote the Leavitt path algebra associated to the finite graph $E$ and field $K$. For any closed path $c$ in $E$, we define and investigate the uniserial, artinian, non-noetherian left $L_K(E)$-module $U_{E,c-1}$. The unique simple factor of each proper submodule of $U_{E,c-1}$ is isomorphic to the Chen simple module $V_{[c^\infty]}$. In our main result, we classify those closed paths $c$ for which $U_{E,c-1}$ is injective. In this situation, $U_{E,c-1}$ is the injective hull of $V_{[c^\infty]}$.Comment: 24 pages.

Extensions of simple modules over Leavitt path algebras

Let $E$ be a directed graph, $K$ any field, and let $L_K(E)$ denote the Leavitt path algebra of $E$ with coefficients in $K$. For each rational infinite path $c^\infty$ of $E$ we explicitly construct a projective resolution of the corresponding Chen simple left $L_K(E)$-module $V_{[c^\infty]}$. Further, when $E$ is row-finite, for each irrational infinite path $p$ of $E$ we explicitly construct a projective resolution of the corresponding Chen simple left $L_K(E)$-module $V_{[p]}$. For Chen simple modules $S,T$ we describe ${\rm Ext}_{L_K(E)}^1(S,T)$ by presenting an explicit $K$-basis. For any graph $E$ containing at least one cycle, this description guarantees the existence of indecomposable left $L_K(E)$-modules of any prescribed finite length.Comment: updated: dedication to Alberto Facchini on the occasion of his 60th Birthday added in front matte

Injective modules over the Jacobson algebra K<X,Y∣XY=1>K< X,Y | XY = 1 >

For a field $K$, let $\mathcal{R}$ denote the Jacobson algebra $K\langle X, Y \ | \ XY=1\rangle$. We give an explicit construction of the injective envelope of each of the (infinitely many) simple left $\mathcal{R}$-modules. Consequently, we obtain an explicit description of a minimal injective cogenerator for $\mathcal{R}$. Our approach involves realizing $\mathcal{R}$ up to isomorphism as the Leavitt path $K$-algebra of an appropriate graph $\mathcal{T}$, which thereby allows us to utilize important machinery developed for that class of algebras.Comment: 16 page

EARLY IMPACT PROCEDURES FOR FLOOD EVENTSFEBRUARY 2007 MOZAMBIQUE FLOOD

Satellite images and GIS procedures are key elements for emergency management, especially in case of events hitting developing countries, more vulnerable to calamities and less prepared to face them. This article aims to show the procedure applied for the pro-duction of a cartography of flooded areas during the early impact phase; these activities are developed within ITHACA, centre of excellence, in charge of giving technological support to the WFP (World Food Programme), the biggest agency of the UN. The flood in Mozambique, occurred in January 2007, is illustrated as an example of events management
