Abstract: We describe a procedure for constructing morphisms in additive categories, combining Auslander's concept of a morphism determined by an object with the existence of flat covers. Also, we show how flat covers are turned into projective covers, and we interprete these constructions in terms of adjoint functors.

Review text

Let \(\mathbf{A}\) be a locally finitely presented additive category and let \(\mathbf{C}\) be a set of finitely presented objects.The main result of the paper proves that for any object \(Y\) of \(\mathbf{A}\) and any submodule \(H\subseteq\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathbf{A}}(\mathbf{C},Y)\), there exists a morphism \(\alpha:X\rightarrow Y\), unique up to an isomorphism, satisfying the following two properties: (1) \(\mathrm{Im Hom}_{\mathbf{A}}(\mathbf{C},\alpha)=H\) and any morphism \(\alpha':X'\rightarrow Y\) with \(\mathrm{Im Hom}_{\mathbf{A}}(\mathbf{C},\alpha')\subseteq H\) factors through \(\alpha\); (2) Any endomorphism \(\phi:X\rightarrow X\) with \(\alpha\phi=\alpha\) is invertible. It is also showed that a flat cover in \(\mathbf{A}\) is in fact a projective cover in a certain abelian category.
