Periodic modules and acyclic complexes (Q2198612)

Let \(\mathcal{C}\) be a class of modules. The authors study \(\mathcal{C}\)-periodic and pure \(\mathcal{C}\)-periodic modules. More especifically, in section 3, they prove, in Theorem 1.1, a generalization of the results of \textit{D. J. Benson} and \textit{K. R. Goodearl} [Pac. J. Math. 196, No. 1, 45--67 (2000; Zbl 1073.20500)] (each pure \(Proj\)-periodic module is trivial) and \textit{D. Simson} [Pac. J. Math. 207, No. 1, 235--256 (2002; Zbl 1056.16004)] (each pure \(PProj\)-periodic module is trivial). They also find \(Proj\)-periodic modules that are not pure projective, and \(Flat\)-periodic modules that are not trivial. In section 4, dualizing they obtain that each pure \(PInj\)-periodic module is trivial. In section 5, they state several applications to prove facts on the category of unbounded chain complexes more easily as a direct consequence of properties of periodic modules. Some of these results were previously proved by \textit{J. Stovícek} [``On purity and applications to coderived and singularity categories'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1412.1615}] and Simson [loc. cit.]. Also, they give some applications to finitely accessible additive categories.
