Conjectural extension of Bass' theorem for locally presentable abelian categories
Conjectural extension of Bass' theorem for locally presentable abelian categories
Let be a locally presentable abelian category with a projective generator . Let denote the class of projective objects in . Main conjecture. The following conditions are equivalent: (1) is covering in ; (2) every direct limit of projective objects has a projective cover in ; (3) every countable direct limit of copies of has a projective cover in ; (4) every countable direct limit of copies of is projective in ; and (5) is closed under direct limits in . The implications (1) (2) (3), (5) (4) (3), and (5) (1) are known or immediate, while the remaining displayed implications are stated to be unknown. The conjecture extends Bass' theorem from module categories to locally presentable abelian categories; some equivalences are known for categories of contramodules over topological rings.
