讲座内容：

The theory of covers and envelopes of modules has its origin at the beginning of the 80s in the works of Enochs and Auslander and Smalø. The theory is based on the intuitive idea of nicely approaching arbitrary objects that are difficult to study with other objects belonging to classes for which more information is available. In the talk we will give a brief historical review of the theory of covers and envelopes of modules leading to what has been known in the literature as the Flat Cover Conjecture. We will introduce the most significant tools that have allowed to give a positive solution to this conjecture (whose solution appeared published in 2001) as well as the impact of this result in other contexts which still today constitutes an active line of research in homological algebra.
