Minimal semi-flat-cotorsion replacements and cosupport (Q2197573)

Let \(R\) be a commutative Noetherian ring. If \(Y\) is a complex of flat cotorsion \(R\)-modules, then it is shown that \(Y=Y'\oplus Y'',\) where \(Y'\) is a minimal complex and \(Y''\) a contractible one. It is also shown that every complex over \(R\) has a minimal semi-flat-cotorsion replacement in the derived category of \(R.\) This is applied to describe the structure of semi-flat-cotorsion replacements.
