Communicated by C.A. Weibel MSC: 16S90 16W30 16W60 06D99a b s t r a c t Let α and β be automorphisms on a ring R and δ : R → R an (α, β)-derivation. It is shown that if F is a right Gabriel filter on R then F is δ-invariant if it is both α and β-invariant. A consequence of this result is that every hereditary torsion theory on the category of right R-modules is differential in the sense of Bland (2006). This answers in the affirmative a question posed by Vaš (2007) and strengthens a result due to Golan (1981) on the extendability of a derivation map from a module to its module of quotients at a hereditary torsion theory.
A Grothendieck category C is said to be locally finitely generated if the subobject lattice of every object in C is compactly generated, or equivalently, if C possesses a family of finitely generated generators. Every nonzero locally finitely generated Grothendieck category possesses simple objects. We shall call a Grothendieck category C indecomposable if C is not equivalent to a product of nonzero Grothendieck categories C 1 × C 2 . In this paper an example of an indecomposable nonlocally finitely generated Grothendieck category possessing simple objects is constructed, answering in the negative a sharper form of a question posed by Albu, Iosif, and Teply in [T. Albu, M. Iosif, M.L. Teply, Dual Krull dimension and quotient finite dimensionality, J. Algebra 284 (2005) 52-79].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
