Coherent Rings and Gorenstein FP-Injective Modules

In this article, Gorenstein FP-injective modules are introduced and investigated. A left R-module M is called Gorenstein FP-injective if there is an exact sequence … → E ₁ → E ₀ → E ⁰ → E ¹ → … of FP-injective left R-modules with M = ker(E ⁰ → E ¹) such that Hom _R (P, ?) leaves the sequence exact whenever P is a finitely presented left R-module with pd _R (P) < ∞. Some properties of Gorenstein FP-injective modules are obtained. Several well-known classes of rings are characterized in terms of Gorenstein FP-injective modules.     

On Stability of Gorenstein Categories

We show that an iteration of the procedure used to define the Gorenstein projective modules over a ring R yields exactly the Gorenstein projective modules. Specifically, given an exact sequence of Gorenstein projective left R-modules G = … → G ₁ → G ₀ → G ⁰ → G ¹ → … such that the complex Hom _R (G, H) is exact for each projective left R-module H, the module Im(G ₀ → G ⁰) is Gorenstein projective. We also get similar results for Gorenstein flat left R-modules when R is a right coherent ring. As applications, we obtain the corresponding results for Gorenstein complexes.     

Gorenstein Modules and Dualizing Modules

In this article, we study the characterizations of Gorenstein injective left S-modules and finitely generated Gorenstein projective left R-modules when there is a dualizing S-R-bimodule associated with a right noetherian ring R and a left noetherian ring S.     

On Copure Projective Modules and Copure Projective Dimensions

Let R be any ring. A right R-module M is called n-copure projective if Ext¹(M, N) = 0 for any right R-module N with fd(N) ≤ n, and M is said to be strongly copure projective if Ext ⁱ (M, F) = 0 for all flat right R-modules F and all i ≥ 1. In this article, firstly, we present some general properties of n-copure projective modules and strongly copure projective modules. Then we define and investigate copure projective dimensions of modules and rings. Finally, more properties and applications of n-copure projective modules, strongly copure projective modules and copure projective dimensions are given over coherent rings with finite self-FP-injective dimension.     

Virtually Gorenstein rings and relative homology of complexes

We extend the notion of virtually Gorenstein rings to the setting of arbitrary rings, and prove that all rings R of finite Gorenstein weak global dimension are virtually Gorenstein such that all Gorenstein projective R-modules are Gorenstein flat. For such a ring R, we introduce the notion of relative homology functors of complexes with respect to Gorenstein projective (resp., flat) modules, and establish a balanced and a vanishing result for the homology functor.     

C-Pure Projective Modules

This paper investigates the structure of cyclically pure (or C-pure) projective modules. In particular, it is shown that a ring R is left Noetherian if and only if every C-pure projective left R-module is pure projective. Also, over a left hereditary Noetherian ring R, a left R-module M is C-pure projective if and only if M = N ⊕ P, where N is a direct sum of cyclic modules and P is a projective left R-module. The relationship C-purity with purity and RD-purity are also studied. It is shown that if R is a local duo-ring, then the C-pure projective left R-modules and the pure projective left R-modules coincide if and only if R is a principal ideal ring. If R is a left perfect duo-ring, then the C-pure projective left R-modules and the pure projective left R-modules coincide if and only if R is left Köthe (i.e., every left R-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules). Also, it is shown that for a ring R, if every C-pure projective left R-module is RD-projective, then R is left Noetherian, every p-injective left R-module is injective and every p-flat right R-module is flat. Finally, it is shown that if R is a left p.p-ring and every C-pure projective left R-module is RD-projective, then R is left Noetherian hereditary. The converse is also true when R is commutative, but it does not hold in the noncommutative case.     

Gorenstein projective and flat complexes over noetherian rings

We give sufficient conditions on a class of R‐modules $\mathcal {C}We give sufficient conditions on a class of R‐modules $\mathcal {C}$ in order for the class of complexes of $\mathcal {C}$‐modules, $dw \mathcal {C}$, to be covering in the category of complexes of R‐modules. More precisely, we prove that if $\mathcal {C}$ is precovering in R ? Mod and if $\mathcal {C}$ is closed under direct limits, direct products, and extensions, then the class $dw \mathcal {C}$ is covering in Ch(R). Our first application concerns the class of Gorenstein flat modules. We show that when the ring R is two sided noetherian, a complex C is Gorenstein flat if and only if each module C_n is Gorenstein flat. If moreover every direct product of Gorenstein flat modules is a Gorenstein flat module, then the class of Gorenstein flat complexes is covering. We consider Gorenstein projective complexes as well. We prove that if R is a commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension, then the class of Gorenstein projective complexes coincides with that of complexes of Gorenstein projective modules. We also show that if R is commutative noetherian with a dualizing complex then every right bounded complex has a Gorenstein projective precover.     

Gorenstein flatness and injectivity over Gorenstein rings

Let R be a Gorenstein ring.We prove that if I is an ideal of R such that R/I is a semi-simple ring,then the Gorenstein flat dimension of R/I as a right R-module and the Gorenstein injective dimension of R/I as a left R-module are identical.In addition,we prove that if R→S is a homomorphism of rings and SE is an injective cogenerator for the category of left S-modules,then the Gorenstein flat dimension of S as a right R-module and the Gorenstein injective dimension of E as a left R-module are identical.We also give some applications of these results.     

Rings Over Which the Class of Gorenstein Flat Modules is Closed Under Extensions

A ring R is called left “GF-closed”, if the class of all Gorenstein flat left R-modules is closed under extensions. The class of left GF-closed rings includes strictly the one of right coherent rings and the one of rings of finite weak dimension.

In this article, we investigate the Gorenstein flat dimension over left GF-closed rings. Namely, we generalize the fact that the class of all Gorenstein flat left modules is projectively resolving over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Also, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat left modules (then of Gorenstein flat dimension of left modules) over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Finally, using direct products of rings, we show how to construct a left GF-closed ring that is neither right coherent nor of finite weak dimension.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript> and rings over which the class of finitely generated strongly gorenstein projective modules is closed under extensions

In this paper, we consider the rings over which the class of finitely generated strongly Gorenstein projective modules is closed under extensions (called fs-closed rings). We give a characterization about the Grothendieck groups of the category of the finitely generated strongly Gorenstein projective R-modules and the category of the finitely generated R-modules with finite strongly Gorenstein projective dimensions for any left Noetherian fs-closed ring R.     

Infinite Direct Sums of Lifting Modules

A module M over a ring R is called a lifting module if every submodule A of M contains a direct summand K of M such that A/K is a small submodule of M/K (e.g., local modules are lifting). It is known that a (finite) direct sum of lifting modules need not be lifting. We prove that R is right Noetherian and indecomposable injective right R-modules are hollow if and only if every injective right R-module is a direct sum of lifting modules. We also discuss the case when an infinite direct sum of finitely generated modules containing its radical as a small submodule is lifting.     

Gorenstein projective dimensions of complexes

We show that over a right coherent left perfect ring R, a complex C of left R-modules is Gorenstein projective if and only if C ^m is Gorenstein projective in R-Mod for all m ∈ ℤ. Basing on this we show that if R is a right coherent left perfect ring then Gpd(C) = sup{Gpd(C ^m )|m ∈ ℤ} where Gpd(−) denotes Gorenstein projective dimension.     

Gorenstein injective envelopes and covers over two sided noetherian rings

We prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules is both enveloping and covering over a two sided noetherian ring such that the character modules of Gorenstein injective modules are Gorenstein flat. In the second part of the paper we consider the connection between the Gorenstein injective modules and the strongly cotorsion modules. We prove that when the ring R is commutative noetherian of finite Krull dimension, the class of Gorenstein injective modules coincides with that of strongly cotorsion modules if and only if the ring R is in fact Gorenstein.     

Complexes of Gorenstein Flat Modules and Gorenstein Cotorsion Modules

A complex (C, δ) is called strongly Gorenstein flat if C is exact and Ker δ ⁿ is Gorenstein flat in R-Mod for all n ∈ ?. Let 𝒮𝒢 stand for the class of strongly Gorenstein flat complexes. We show that a complex C of left R-modules over a right coherent ring R is in the right orthogonal class of 𝒮𝒢 if and only if C ⁿ is Gorenstein cotorsion in R-Mod for all n ∈ ? and Hom^.(G, C) is exact for any strongly Gorenstein flat complex G. Furthermore, a bounded below complex C over a right coherent ring R is in the right orthogonal class of 𝒮𝒢 if and only if C ⁿ is Gorenstein cotorsion in R-Mod for all n ∈ ?. Finally, strongly Gorenstein flat covers and 𝒮𝒢^⊥-envelopes of complexes are considered. For a right coherent ring R, we show that every bounded below complex has a 𝒮𝒢^⊥-envelope.     

On the Existence of Certain Modules of Finite Gorenstein Homological Dimensions

Let (R, 𝔪) be a commutative Noetherian local ring. It is known that R is Cohen–Macaulay if there exists either a nonzero finitely generated R-module of finite injective dimension or a nonzero Cohen–Macaulay R-module of finite projective dimension. In this article, we investigate the Gorenstein analogues of these facts.     

Local bijective gabriel correspondence and relative fully boundedness in τ-noetherian rings

Let Rbe a right τ-noetherian ring, where τ denotes a hereditary torsion theory on the category of right R-modules. It is shown that every essential τ-closed right ideal of every prime homomorphic image of Rcontains a nonzero two-sided ideal if and only if any two τ-torsionfree injective indecomposable right R-modules with identical associated prime ideals are isomorphic, and for any τ-closed prime ideal Pthe annhilator of a finitely generated P-tame right R-module cannot be a prime ideal properly contained in P. Furthermore, if in the last condition finitely generated is replaced by r-noetherian, then all τ-noetherian τ-torsionfree modules turn out to be finitely annihilated.     

First,Second, and Third Change of Rings Theorems for Gorenstein Homological dimensions

In this article, we investigate the change of rings theorems for the Gorenstein dimensions over arbitrary rings. Namely, by the use of the notion of strongly Gorenstein modules, we extend the well-known first, second, and third change of rings theorems for the classical projective and injective dimensions to the Gorenstein projective and injective dimensions, respectively. Each of the results established in this article for the Gorenstein projective dimension is a generalization of a G-dimension of a finitely generated module M over a noetherian ring R.
