The aim of this paper is to construct singular equivalences between functor categories. As a special case, we show that there exists a singular equivalence arising from a cotilting module $T$, namely, the singularity category of $(^\perp T)/[T]$ and that of $(\mod A)/[T]$ are triangle equivalent. In particular, the canonical module $ω$ over a commutative Noetherian ring induces a singular equivalence between $(\mathsf{CM}R)/[ω]$ and $(\mod R)/[ω]$, which generalizes Matsui-Takahashi's theorem. Our result is based on a sufficient condition for an additive category $\mathcal{A}$ and its subcategory $\mathcal{X}$ so that the canonical inclusion $\mathcal{X}\hookrightarrow\mathcal{A}$ induces a singular equivalence $\mathsf{D_{sg}}(\mathcal{A})\simeq \mathsf{D_{sg}}(\mathcal{X})$, which is a functor category version of Xiao-Wu Chen's theorem.
In this work we introduce notions in Auslander-Buchweitz theory and cotorsion theory in extriangulated categories which extend the given ones for abelian categories. Although these notions have been already developed for extriangulated categories in remarkable works, in this paper, we tackle them in a relative sense by considering subcategories of objects. This approach not only covers the existing theory given on abelian, exact and triangulated categories, but it also shows how to get similar results with an appropriate treatment of local properties.
We show that the relative Auslander-Buchweitz context on a triangulated category $\T$ coincides with the notion of co-$t$-structure on certain triangulated subcategory of $\T$ (see Theorem \ref{M2}). In the Krull-Schmidt case, we stablish a bijective correspondence between co-$t$-structures and cosuspended, precovering subcategories (see Theorem \ref{correspond}). We also give a characterization of bounded co-$t$-structures in terms of relative homological algebra. The relationship between silting classes and co-$t$-structures is also studied. We prove that a silting class $ω$ induces a bounde…
Extriangulated categories were introduced by Nakaoka and Palu as a simultaneous generalization of exact categories and triangulated categories. In this paper, we introduce and develop an analogous theory of Auslander-Buchweitz approximations for extriangulated categories. We establish the existence of precovers pand preenvelopesq and obtain characterizations of relative homological dimensions, which are based on certain subcategories under finiteness of resolutions. Finally, we give a description of cotorsion pairs on extriangulated categories under some conditions, and provide a characterizat…
We introduce and develop an analogous of the Auslander-Buchweitz approximation theory (see \cite{AB}) in the context of triangulated categories, by using a version of relative homology in this setting. We also prove several results concerning relative homological algebra in a triangulated category $\T,$ which are based on the behavior of certain subcategories under finiteness of resolutions and vanishing of Hom-spaces. For example: we establish the existence of preenvelopes (and precovers) in certain triangulated subcategories of $\T.$ The results resemble various constructions and results of …
In this work, we revisit Auslander-Buchweitz Approximation Theory and find some relations with cotorsion pairs and model category structures. From the notions of relatives generators and cogenerators in Approximation Theory, we introduce the concept of left Frobenius pairs $(\mathcal{X},ω)$ in an abelian category $\mathcal{C}$. We show how to construct from $(\mathcal{X},ω)$ a projective exact model structure on $\mathcal{X}^\wedge$, as a result of Hovey-Gillespie Correspondence applied to two compatible and complete cotorsion pairs in $\mathcal{X}^\wedge$. These pairs can be regarded as examp…
We present the concept of cotorsion pairs cut along subcategories of an abelian category. This provides a generalization of complete cotorsion pairs, and represents a general framework to find approximations restricted to certain subcategories. We also exhibit some connections between cut cotorsion pairs and Auslander-Buchweitz approximation theory, by considering relative analogs for Frobenius pairs and Auslander-Buchweitz contexts. Several applications are given in the settings of relative Gorenstein homological algebra, chain complexes and quasi-coherent sheaves, but also to characterize so…
Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a $(d+2)$-angulated category with $d$-suspension functor $Σ^d$. Our main results show that every Serre functor on $\mathscr{C}$ is a $(d+2)$-angulated functor. We also show that $\mathscr{C}$ has a Serre functor $\mathbb{S}$ if and only if $\mathscr{C}$ has Auslander--Reiten $(d+2)$-angles. Moreover, $τ_d=\mathbb{S}Σ^{-d}$ where $τ_d$ is $d$-Auslander-Reiten translation. These results generalize work by Bondal-Kapranov and Reiten-Van den Bergh. As an application, we prove that for a strongly functorially finite subcategory $\mathscr{X}$ of $\mathscr{C}$, the quotient categ…
Let $\mathscr{C}$ be an extriangulated category with a proper class $ξ$ of $\mathbb{E}$-triangles. We introduce the notions of left Frobenius pairs, left ($n$-)cotorsion pairs and left (weak) Auslander-Buchweitz contexts with respect to $ξ$ in $\mathscr{C}$. We show how to construct left cotorsion pais from left $n$-cotorsion pairs, and establish a one-to-one correspondence between left Frobenius pairs and left (weak) Auslander-Buchweitz contexts. We also study the relation between a certain class of cotorsion pairs and that of $n$-cotorsion pairs. These work generalize Ma-Zhao-Huang's results…
Let $R$ be an isolated Gorenstein singularity with a non-commutative resolution $A=End_R(R\oplus M)$. In this paper, we show that the relative singularity category $Δ_R(A)$ of $A$ has a number of pleasant properties, such as being Hom-finite. Moreover, it determines the classical singularity category $D_{sg}(R)$ of Buchweitz and Orlov as a certain canonical quotient category. If $R$ has finite CM type, which includes for example Kleinian singularities, then we show the much more surprising result that $D_{sg}(R)$ determines $Δ_R(Aus(R))$, where $Aus(R)$ is the corresponding Auslander algebra. …
The Defect Recollement, Restriction Recollement, Auslander-Gruson-Jensen Recollement, and others, are shown to be instances of a general construction using derived functors and methods from stable module theory. The right derived functors $\textsf{W}_k:=R_k(\hspace{0.05cm}\underline{\ \ }\hspace{0.1cm} )^*$ are computed and it is shown that the functor $\textsf{W}_2:=R_2(\hspace{0.05cm}\underline{\ \ }\hspace{0.1cm} )^*$ is right exact and restricts to a duality $\textsf{W}$ of the defect zero functors. The duality $\textsf{W}$ satisfies two identities which we call the Generalised Auslander-R…
Auslander's formula shows that any abelian category C is equivalent to the category of coherent functors on C modulo the Serre subcategory of all effaceable functors. We establish a derived version of this equivalence. This amounts to showing that the homotopy category of injective objects of some appropriate Grothendieck abelian category (the category of ind-objects of C) is compactly generated and that the full subcategory of compact objects is equivalent to the bounded derived category of C. The same approach shows for an arbitrary Grothendieck abelian category that its derived category and…
Tilting theory has been a very important tool in the classification of finite dimensional algebras of finite and tame representation type, as well as, in many other branches of mathematics. Happel [Ha] proved that generalized tilting induces derived equivalences between module categories, and tilting complexes were used by Rickard [Ri] to develop a general Morita theory of derived categories. In the other hand, functor categories were introduced in representation theory by M. Auslander and used in his proof of the first Brauer- Thrall conjecture and later on, used systematically in his joint w…
A well-known theorem of Buchweitz provides equivalences between three categories: the stable category of Gorenstein projective modules over a Gorenstein algebra, the homotopy category of acyclic complexes of projectives, and the singularity category. To adapt this result to $N$-complexes, one must find an appropriate candidate for the $N$-analogue of the stable category. We identify this "$N$-stable category" via the monomorphism category and prove Buchweitz's theorem for $N$-complexes over a Frobenius exact abelian category. We also compute the Serre functor on the $N$-stable category over a …
We study the existence and uniqueness of minimal right determiners in various categories. Particularly in a Hom-finite hereditary abelian category with enough projectives, we prove that the Auslander-Reiten-Smalø-Ringel formula of the minimal right determiner still holds. As an application, we give a formula of minimal right determiners in the category of finitely presented representations of strongly locally finite quivers.
Auslander-Reiten duality for module categories is generalised to Grothendieck abelian categories that have a sufficient supply of finitely presented objects. It is shown that Auslander-Reiten duality amounts to the fact that the functor Ext^1(C,-) into modules over the endomorphism ring of C admits a partially defined right adjoint when C is a finitely presented object. This result seems to be new even for module categories. For appropriate schemes over a field, the connection with Serre duality is discussed.
We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending chain condition on images of nested endomorphisms. In particular, this provides a positive answer to a conjecture of M. Auslander in the case of categories of finite modules over artin algebras. This implies that the covariant Ext functors are the only injectives in the category of defect-zero finitely presented functors on such categories.
Let $(\mathscr{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ be an ${\rm Ext}$-finite, Krull-Schmidt and $k$-linear $n$-exangulated category with $k$ a commutative artinian ring. In this note, we define two additive subcategories $\mathscr{C}_r$ and $\mathscr{C}_l$ of $\mathscr{C}$ in terms of the representable functors from the stable category of $\mathscr{C}$ to the category of finitely generated $k$-modules. Moreover, we show that there exists an equivalence between the stable categories of these two full subcategories. Finally, we give some equivalent characterizations on the existence of Auslander-Reiten …
Auslander and Kleiner proved in 1994 an abstract version of Green correspondence for pairs of adjoint functors between three categories. They produce additive quotients of certain subcategories giving the classical Green correspondence in the special setting of modular representation theory. Carlson, Peng and Wheeler showed in 1998 that Green correspondence in the classical setting of modular representation theory is actually an equivalence between triangulated categories with respect to a non standard triangulated structure. In the present note we first define and study a version of relative …
We study Serre structures on categories enriched in pivotal monoidal categories, and apply this to study Serre structures on two types of graded k-linear categories: categories with group actions and categories with graded hom spaces. We check that Serre structures are preserved by taking orbit categories and skew group categories, and describe the relationship with graded Frobenius algebras. Using a formal version of Auslander-Reiten translations, we show that the derived category of a d-representation finite algebra is fractionally Calabi-Yau if and only if its preprojective algebra has a gr…
We define tilting subcategories in arbitrary exact categories to archieve the following. Firstly: Unify existing definitions of tilting subcategories to arbitrary exact categories. Discuss standard results for tilting subcategories: Auslander correspondence, Bazzoni description of the perpendicular category. Secondly: We treat the question of induced derived equivalences separately - given a tilting subcategory T, we ask if a functor on the perpendicular category induces a derived equivalence to a (certain) functor category over T. If this is the case, we call the tilting subcategory ideq tilt…

In this paper we continue the study of triangular matrix categories $\mathbfΛ=\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} \mathcal{T} & 0 \\ M & \mathcal{U} \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ initiated in [21]. First, given an additive category $\mathcal{C}$ and an ideal $\mathcal{I}_{\mathcal{B}}$ in $\mathcal{C}$, we prove a well known result that there is a canonical recollement $\xymatrix{\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{C}/\mathcal{I}_{\mathcal{B}})\ar[r]_{} & \mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{C})\ar[r]_{}\ar@<-1ex>[l]_{}\ar@<1ex>[l]_{} & \mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{B})\ar@<-1ex>[l]_{}\ar@<1ex>[l]_{}}$. We show that given a recollement betwee…
We define a dimension for a triangulated category. We prove a representabilityTheorem for a certain class of functors on finite dimensional triangulatedcategories. We study the dimension of the boundedderived category of an algebra or a scheme and we show in particularthat the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves over avariety has a finite dimension. For a self-injective algebra, a lowerbound for Auslander's representation dimension is given by the dimensionof the stable category. We use this to compute the representationdimension of exterior algebras. This provides the first known exa…
For an exact category $\mathcal{E}$, we study the Butler's condition "AR=Ex": the relation of the Grothendieck group of $\mathcal{E}$ is generated by Auslander-Reiten conflations. Under some assumptions, we show that AR=Ex is equivalent to that $\mathcal{E}$ has finitely many indecomposables. This can be applied to functorially finite torsion(free) classes and contravariantly finite resolving subcategories of the module category of an artin algebra, and the category of Cohen-Macaulay modules over an order which is Gorenstein or has finite global dimension. Also we showed that under some weaker…
Coherent strings of composable morphisms play an important role in various important constructions in abstract stable homotopy theory (for example algebraic K-theory or higher Toda brackets) and in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras (as representations of Dynkin quivers of type A). In a first step we will prove a strong comparison result relating composable strings of morphisms and coherent diagrams on cubes with support on a path from the initial to the final object. We observe that both structures are equivalent (by passing to higher analogues of mesh categories) to dis…
