Abstract

We prove that a right R-module M is Σ-pure injective if and only if Add(M)⊆ Prod(M). Consequently, if R is a unital ring, the homotopy category K(Mod- R) satisfies the Brown Representability Theorem if and only if the dual category has the same property. We also apply the main result to provide new characterizations for right pure-semisimple rings or to give a partial positive answer to a question of G. Bergman.
