Abstract: Drinfeld recently suggested to replace projective modules by the flat Mittag--Leffler ones in the definition of an infinite dimensional vector bundle on a scheme X. Two questions arise: (1) What is the structure of the class mathcalD of all flat Mittag--Leffler modules over a general ring? (2) Can flat Mittag--Leffler modules be used to build a Quillen model category structure on the category of all chain complexes of quasi--coherent sheaves on X? We answer (1) by showing that a module M is flat Mittag--Leffler, if and only if M is aleph1--projective in the sense of Eklof and Mekler. We use this to characterize the rings such that mathcalD is closed under products, and relate the classes of all Mittag--Leffler, strict Mittag--Leffler, and separable modules. Then we prove that the class mathcalD is not deconstructible for any non--right perfect ring. So unlike the classes of all projective and flat modules, the class mathcalD does not admit the homotopy theory tools developed recently by Hovey . This gives a negative answer to (2).
