Abstract

The pure-injective $R$-modules are defined easily enough: as those modules which are injective over all pure embeddings, where an embedding $ A\rightarrow B $ is said to be pure if every finite system of $ R$-linear equations with constants from $ A $ and a solution in $ B $ has a solution in $ A. $ But the definition itself gives no indication of the rich theory around purity and pure-injectivity. The purpose of this survey is to present and illustrate the definitions and a number of the results around pure-injective modules.
