Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce the main techniques and methods in relative homological algebra.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to generalize the idea behind the proof of the existence of torsion free covers of modules over commutative domains.
2   Will be able to understand the definitions of covers and envelopes in general for a class of modules.
3   Will be able to understand how cotorsion theories have been used in proving the existence of flat covers of modules for an arbitrary ring.
4   Will be able to use the properties of Iwanaga-Gorenstein and Cohen-Macaulay rings and their modules.
5   Will be able to analyze some different kinds of Gorenstein covers and envelopes.
