Abstract

Let R be an associative unital ring, T a left R-module and λ an infinite cardinal. We consider the class T of all left R-modules M satisfying ExtR1(M, T) = 0 and search for λ-universal objects in suitable subclasses ℭ of T. Here, an R-module U ∈ ℭ is λ-universal for T if |U| ≤ λ and every R-module M ∈ ℭ of cardinality less than or equal to λ embeds into U. We show that the existence of |T|-universal objects which are strong splitters implies the existence of λ-universal objects for sufficiently large λ if we assume (V = L). We then apply our results to module classes over small Dedekind domains to partially solve a generalized problem by Kulikov.
