Interpretation functors which are full on pure-injective modules with applications to $R$-torsion-free modules over $R$-orders

Abstract

Let $R,S$ be rings, $\mathcal{X}\subseteq \text{mod}$-$R$ a covariantly finite subcategory, $\mathcal{C}$ the smallest definable subcategory of $\text{Mod}$-$R$ containing $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ a definable subcategory of $\text{Mod}$-$S$. We show that if $I:\mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ is an interpretation functor such that $I\mathcal{X}\subseteq \text{mod}$-$S$ and whose restriction to $\mathcal{X}$ is full then $I$ is full on pure-injective modules. We apply this theorem to an extension of a functor introduced by Ringel and Roggenkamp which, in particular, allows us to describe the torsion-free part of the Ziegler spectra of tame Bäckström orders. We also introduce the notion of a pseudogeneric module over an order which is intended to play the same role for lattices over orders as generic modules do for finite-dimensional modules over finite-dimensional algebras.
