Limits of pure-injective cotilting modules. (Q813322)

Let \(\Lambda\) be an Artin algebra and \(\text{Mod\,}\Lambda\) denotes the category of all right \(\Lambda\)-modules. Infinitely generated cotilting modules in \(\text{Mod\,}\Lambda\) were introduced by \textit{L. Angeleri Hügel} and \textit{F. U. Coelho} [Forum Math. 13, No. 2, 239-250 (2001; Zbl 0984.16009)]. In this paper, the authors study the set of pure-injective cotilting modules over an Artin algebra \(\Lambda\), and show that this set has a monoid structure. Moreover, when the algebra is of finite representation type, this monoid structure restricts down to a monoid structure on the finitely generated cotilting modules. The authors also point out that the finite representation type hypothesis is essential for this result, due to an example of a tame hereditary algebra constructed by Happel.
