IfRis an associative ring with identity, a theory of minimal flat resolutions is developed in the category ((R-mod)op, Ab) of contravariant functorsG: (R-mod)op→ Ab from the categoryR-mod of finitely presented leftR-modules to the category Ab of abelian groups. For a leftR-moduleM, it is shown that the flat contravariant functor (−,M) is cotorsion if and only ifMis pure-injective. This is applied to characterize when a flat resolution of an objectFin ((R-mod)op, Ab) is minimal, and is used to construct a minimal flat resolution ofF, given a projective presentation.It is shown that the injective objects of ((R-mod)op, Ab) are precisely those of the form Ext1(−,M), whereMis pure-injective, and ifm:M→ PE(M) is the pure-injective envelope ofM, then Ext1(−,m): Ext1(−,M) → Ext1(−, PE(M)) is an injective envelope of Ext1(−,M) in ((R-mod)op, Ab).M↦ Ext1(−,M) yields an explicit equivalence between the subcategory of injective objects of ((R-mod)op, Ab) and the category of pure-injective leftR-modules, modulo morphisms that factor through an injective. The characterization of minimal flat resolutions is also used to describe the relationship between the minimal flat resolution in ((R-mod)op, Ab) of a functorFon the stable category and its minimal injective copresentation in ((R-mod)op, Ab).A final application is a description of the contravariant Gabriel spectrum ofR, the set of indecomposable injective objects of the functor category ((R-mod)op, Ab). The points are in bijective correspondence with the set of pure-injective indecomposable leftR-modules, which correspond to the points of the covariant Gabriel spectrum ofR. It is proved that both Gabriel spectra ofRmay be partitioned into an open and a closed set such that this canonical bijection restricts to a homeomorphism on each.
