Review text

This is a paper in pure homological algebra. It studies projective dimension, and related ideas, in some categories of countable inverse systems of abelian groups. The authors remark that some of their results can be proved by methods already in the literature: they motivate their preference for explicit elementary proofs by citing applications to homology in the category of locally finite simplicial complexes and proper maps, as in \textit{L. J. Hernández} [in: Algebraic topology, Proc. Symp., Barcelona 1986, Lect. Notes Math. 1298, 171--191 (1987; Zbl 0633.55006)] and \textit{R. Ayala}, \textit{M. Cárdenas} and \textit{A. Quintero} [Math. Jap. 42, 443--457 (1995; Zbl 0853.55013)].
