Ziegler spectra of tame hereditary algebras (Q1270102)

Let \(A\) be a tame hereditary finite dimensional algebra over a field. The points of the Ziegler spectrum of \(A\), the indecomposable pure-injective modules, are well-known. The paper under review describes the topological structure of the Ziegler spectrum. The proofs are based on a localization technique introduced by \textit{W. W. Crawley-Boevey} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 62, No. 3, 490-508 (1991; Zbl 0768.16003)] combined with a description of the Ziegler spectrum of PI Dedekind domains, obtained in the first part of the paper. Similar results have been obtained by \textit{C. M. Ringel} [Colloq. Math. 76, No. 1, 105-115 (1998; Zbl 0901.16006)], whose approach is different. The following remark has been submitted by the author: `It has been pointed out to me (Mike Prest) by G.~Puninski that the last paragraph of page 162 is wrong. The first assertion made, ``that every finitely presented module embeds purely in a direct product of torsion modules'' is correct, but the remainder of that paragraph, ``and hence'' onwards, should be deleted (since the argument and the conclusion are incorrect)'.
