Abstract

As is well-known, the infinite module theory of certain types of finite-dimensional algebras has a strong similarity to abelian group theory. (See [1] for the case of Kronecker modules, [28] for the representations of tame hereditary algebras). The same phenomenon occurs for k-linear representations of (suitably restricted) ordered sets [18, 19]. In all these cases there is a primary decomposition for torsion-modules (cf. Cor. 2.6), the torsion submodule is always a pure submodule (cf. Prop. 3.1) and torsion-free modules behave in some respect like flat modules (cf. Prop. 2.4). Further, divisible modules are algebraically compact (cf. Thms. 4.4 and 4.6), in some cases even injective [19].
