Abstract:
This talk is aimed on testing for projectivity of modules. We present–as a special case–the consistency of a negative solution to the Whitehead problem. We also discuss the open problem concerning the consistency of the existence of projective-testing modules over a general ring. In particular, we suggest that, in a model of ZFC with some large cardinals, there might exist a µ-pure-injective module which tests projectivity.
