Abstract

Let R be a Dedekind domain. Recently, Enochs' solution of the Flat Cover Conjecture was extended as follows: (*) If C is a cotorsion pair generated by a class of cotorsion modules, then C is cogenerated by a set. We show that (*) is the best result provable in ZFC in case R has a countable spectrum: the Uniformization Principle UP+ implies that C is not cogenerated by a set whenever C is a cotorsion pair generated by a set which contains a non-cotorsion module.
