Abstract: | We study the derived functors of Hom that are computed by using flat resolutions of Hom. These are denoted n. We compare these with the usual Extn's and show that 1⊂ Ext1and indicate (using MacLane's terminology) why the class of associated short exact sequences is a proper class. When the ring is a Dedekind domain we classify the N such that n(–, N) = 0 and show that unlike the situation for other classically defined right derived functors of Hom, Hom is not balanced relative to the two classes of modules that make 1 vanish. |
