Our main result establishes that, in order for a torsion-free module to be balanced-projective, it is sufficient that it be the union of a countable, ascending chain of balanced-projective, pure submodules. The proof reduces to the completely decomposable case, and it hinges on the existence of suitable families of submodules of the links in the chain. A Shelah-Eklof-type result for the balanced projectivity of modules is proved in the way, and a generalization of Auslander's lemma is obtained as a corollary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-12-02T23:11:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13C10", "13C05", "16D40", "13F05" ], "keywords": [ "integral domains", "balanced projectivity", "ascending chain", "main result establishes", "pure submodules" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.0605M" } } }
