“…• Over serial rings, the model theory of modules and the structure of pure-injectives (as well as pure-projectives, that is, direct summands of direct sums of finitely presented modules) has been extensively studied by Puninski in a series of papers, see especially [45], [46] and the book [44]. If R is a serial ring Puninski gives a criterion, purely in terms of the structure of the lattices of right and left ideals of R, equivalent to existence of a superdecomposable pure-injective ( [50, 5.2]).…”
