On the relation between K-flatness and K-projectivity (Q1989821): Difference between revisions

The author gives an alternative proof of a result of \textit{H. Krause} [Math. Ann. 353, No. 3, 765--781 (2012; Zbl 1323.18003)], which states that the homotopy category $\mathbf{K}(R-\mathrm{PureProj})$ of pure projective modules over an associative ring $R$ is compactly generated and equivalent to the Verdier quotient $\mathbf{K}(R)/\mathbf{T}(R)$, where $\mathbf{T}(R)$ is the triangulated sub-category of the homotopy category $\mathbf{K}(R)$ consisting of the pure acyclic complexes. As an application, it is showed that the K-flat complexes defined in [\textit{N. Spaltenstein}, Compos. Math. 65, No. 2, 121--154 (1988; Zbl 0636.18006)] are, up to homotopy equivalence, the filtered colimits of K-projective complexes of pure projective modules.
