Abstract
Let R be a ring, n a fixed non-negative integer and ℱ
ℐ
n
(ℱ
n
) the class of all right (left) R-modules of FP-injective (flat) dimension at most n. We prove that ( is a perfect cotorsion theory if R is a right coherent ring with FP-id(R
R
) ≤ n. This result was proven by Aldrich, Enochs, Jenda, and Oyonarte in Noetherian case. The modules in
are also studied. Some applications are given.
