报告摘要：

In this talk, we study the relationship between coherency of a monoid and purity properties of its acts.An underlyingmotivation comes from the following question for an algebra: when does the guaranteed solution of a finite consistent set of equations in one variable liftto the guarantee of solutions of finite consistent sets equations in any(finite) number of variables? This is a long-standing and intriguing problem,with a positive answer for some algebraic structures (e.g. groups andsemigroups) but not fully understood for modules over rings or acts overmonoids.

Our first main result shows that for a right coherent monoid $S$ the classes of almost pure and absolutely pure $S$-acts coincide.Our second main result is that a monoid $S$ is right coherent if and only if the classes of mfp-pure andabsolutely pure $S$-acts coincide. We give specific examples of monoids $S$ that are not right coherentyet are such that the classes ofalmost pure and absolutely pure $S$-acts coincide. Finally we give a condition on a monoid $S$ for all almost pure $S$-acts to be absolutely pure in terms of finitely presented $S$-acts, their finitely generated subacts, and certain canonical extensions.
