Gorenstein Flat and Cotorsion Dimensions of Unbounded Complexes

In this article, we define and study the Gorenstein flat dimension and Gorenstein cotorsion dimension for unbounded complexes over GF-closed rings by constructions of resolutions of unbounded complexes. The behavior of the dimensions under change of rings is investigated.     

On Gorenstein Projective Dimensions of Unbounded Complexes

Let R → S be a ring homomorphism and X be a complex of R-modules. Then the complex of S-modules S?_R~L X in the derived category D(S) is constructed in the natural way. This paper is devoted to dealing with the relationships of the Gorenstein projective dimension of an R-complex X(possibly unbounded) with those of the S-complex S?_R~L X.It is shown that if R is a Noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension and φ : R → S is a faithfully flat ring homomorphism, then for any homologically degree-wise finite complex X, there is an equality Gpd_RX = GpdS(S?_R~L X). Similar result is obtained for Ding projective dimension of the S-complex S?_R~L X.     

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.     

Weak Global Dimension of Coherent Rings

In this article, we study the weak global dimension of coherent rings in terms of the left FP-injective resolutions of modules. Let R be a left coherent ring and ? ? the class of all FP-injective left R-modules. It is shown that wD(R) ≤ n (n ≥ 1) if and only if every nth ? ?-syzygy of a left R-module is FP-injective; and wD(R) ≤ n (n ≥ 2) if and only if every (n ? 2)th ? ?-syzygy in a minimal ? ?-resolution of a left R-module has an FP-injective cover with the unique mapping property. Some results for the weak global dimension of commutative coherent rings are also given.     

Cohomological approach to asymptotic dimension

We introduce the notion of asymptotic cohomology based on the bounded cohomology and define cohomological asymptotic dimension asdim _Z X of metric spaces. We show that it agrees with the asymptotic dimension asdim X when the later is finite. Then we use this fact to construct an example of a metric space X of bounded geometry with finite asymptotic dimension for which asdim(X × R) = asdim X. In particular, it follows for this example that the coarse asymptotic dimension defined by means of Roe’s coarse cohomology is strictly less than its asymptotic dimension.      

Relative singularity categories with respect to gorenstein flat modules

Let R be a right coherent ring and D~b(R-Mod) the bounded derived category of left R-modules. Denote by D~b(R-Mod)_([G F,C]) the subcategory of D~b(R-Mod) consisting of all complexes with both finite Gorenstein flat dimension and cotorsion dimension and K~b(F ∩ C) the bounded homotopy category of flat cotorsion left R-modules. We prove that the quotient triangulated category D~b(R-Mod)_([G F,C])/K~b(F ∩ C) is triangle-equivalent to the stable category GF ∩ C of the Frobenius category of all Gorenstein flat and cotorsion left R-modules.     

The Krull–Gabriel Dimension of a Serial Ring

Abstract

We prove that every serial ring R has the isolation property: every isolated point in any theory of modules over R is isolated by a minimal pair. Using this we calculate the Krull–Gabriel dimension of the module category over serial rings. For instance, we show that this dimension cannot be equal to 1.     

On Triangulating Dimension of Rings

For any right essential overring T of a right FI-extending ring R, it is shown that 𝒯 dim(T) ≤ 𝒯dim(R), where 𝒯dim(?) is triangulating dimension of a ring. As a consequence, we show that for a ring R the maximal right ring of quotients, Q(R), is a direct product of finitely many prime rings if and only if Q(R) is semiprime and 𝒯dim(Q(R)) is finite. Some examples which illustrate and delimit the result are provided.     

Self-Orthogonal Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

Let R be a ring and _R ω a self-orthogonal module. We introduce the notion of the right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) of modules. We give a criterion for computing this relative right orthogonal dimension of modules. For a left coherent and semilocal ring R and a finitely presented self-orthogonal module _R ω, we show that the projective dimension of _R ω and the right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) of R/J are identical, where J is the Jacobson radical of R. As a consequence, we get that _R ω has finite projective dimension if and only if every left (finitely presented) R-module has finite right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω). If ω is a tilting module, we then prove that a left R-module has finite right orthogonal dimension (relative to _R ω) if and only if it has a special ω^⊥-preenvelope.     

On Strongly Copure Flat Modules and Copure Flat Dimensions

Let R be a left coherent ring. We first prove that a right R-module M is strongly copure flat if and only if Ext ⁱ (M, C) = 0 for all flat cotorsion right R-modules C and i ≥ 1. Then we define and investigate copure flat dimensions of left coherent rings. Finally, we give some new characterizations of n-FC rings.
