Abstract: We consider an arbitrary Abelian category mathcalA and a subcategory mathcalT closed under extensions and direct summands, and characterize those mathcalT that are (semi-)special preenveloping in mathcalA; as a byproduct, we generalize to this setting several classical results for categories of modules. For instance, we get that the special preenveloping subcategories mathcalT of mathcalA closed under extensions and direct summands are precisely those for which (perp1mathcalT,mathcalT) is a right complete cotorsion pair, where perp1mathcalT:=extKer(extExtmathcalA1(,mathcalT)). Particular cases appear when mathcalT=Vperp1:=extKer(extExtmathcalA1(V,)), for an extExt1-universal object V such that extExtmathcalA1(V,) vanishes on all (existing) coproducts of copies of V. For many choices of mathcalA, we show that these latter examples exhaust all the possibilities. We then show that, when mathcalA has an epi-generator, the (semi-)special preenveloping torsion classes mathcalT given by (quasi-)tilting objects are exactly those for which any object TinmathcalT is the epimorphic image of some object in perp1mathcalT (and the subcategory mathcalB:=extSub(mathcalT) of subobjects of objects in mathcalT is reflective) and they are, in turn, the right constituents of complete cotorsion pairs in mathcalA (resp., mathcalB). In a final section, we apply the results when mathcalA=mathrmmodextR is the category of finitely presented modules over a right coherent ring R, something that gives new results and raises new questions even at the level of classical tilting theory in categories of modules.
