On the volume of a tilting module

We consider a finite dimensional k-algebraA and associate to each tilting module a cone in the Grothendieck groupK ₀ of finitely generated A-modules. We prove that the set of cones associated to tilting modules of projective dimension at most one defines a, not necessarily finite, fan Σ(A). IfA is of finite global dimension, the fan Σ(A) is smooth. Moreover, using the cone of a tilting module, we can associate a volume to each tilting module. Using the fan and the volume, we obtain new proofs for several classical results; we obtain certain convergent sums naturally associated to the algebraA and obtain criteria for the completeness of a list of tilting modules. Finally, we consider several examples. Dedicated to O. Riemenschneider on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Finitistic dimension of properly stratified algebras

We prove that the finitistic dimension of a properly stratified algebra having a simple preserving duality and for which every tilting module is cotilting, equals twice the projective dimension of the characteristic tilting module. As a corollary, we get that the global dimension of a quasi-hereditary algebra with duality equals twice the projective dimension of the characteristic tilting module. As another corollary, we obtain an affirmative answer to the conjecture of Erdmann and Parker. Finally, we calculate the finitistic dimension of the blocks of certain parabolic generalizations of the category .     

Tilting on non-commutative rational projective curves

In this article we introduce a new class of non-commutative projective curves and show that in certain cases the derived category of coherent sheaves on them has a tilting complex. In particular, we prove that the right bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a reduced rational projective curve with only nodes and cusps as singularities, can be fully faithfully embedded into the right bounded derived category of the finite dimensional representations of a certain finite dimensional algebra of global dimension two. As an application of our approach we show that the dimension of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a rational projective curve with only nodal or cuspidal singularities is at most two. In the case of the Kodaira cycles of projective lines, the corresponding tilted algebras belong to a well-known class of gentle algebras. We work out in details the tilting equivalence in the case of the Weierstrass nodal curve zy ² = x ³ + x ² z.     

Representation dimension and tilting

Let Λ be a finite dimensional k-algebra over an algebraically closed field k and let _ΛT be a splitting tilting module of projective dimension at most 1. Let Γ=End_ΛT. If the representation dimension of Λ is at most 3 then the main result asserts that the representation dimension of Γ does not exceed that of Λ.     

ARTIN RINGS WITH ALL IDEMPOTENT IDEALS PROJECTIVE

We study artin rings Λ with the property that all the idempotents two sided ideals of Λ are projective left Λ-modules. We give a characterization of these rings, and prove that their finitistic dimension is at most one. Using this result we study the Λ-modules of finite projective dimension.     

Generalized tilting functors and Ringel-Hall algebras

It is known from [M. Auslander, M.I. Platzeck, I. Reiten, Coxeter functors without diagrams, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 250 (1979) 1-46] and [C.M. Ringel, PBW-basis of quantum groups, J. Reine Angew. Math. 470 (1996) 51-85] that the Bernstein-Gelfand-Ponomarev reflection functors are special cases of tilting functors and these reflection functors induce isomorphisms between certain subalgebras of Ringel-Hall algebras. In [A. Wufu, Tilting functors and Ringel-Hall algebras, Comm. Algebra 33 (1) (2005) 343-348] the result from [C.M. Ringel, PBW-basis of quantum groups, J. Reine Angew. Math. 470 (1996) 51-85] is generalized to the tilting module case by giving an isomorphism between two Ringel-Hall subalgebras. In [J. Miyashita, Tilting Modules of Finite Projective Dimension, Math. Z. 193 (1986) 113-146] Miyashita generalized the tilting theory by introducing the tilting modules of finite projective dimension. In this paper the result in [A. Wufu, Tilting functors and Ringel-Hall algebras, Comm. Algebra 33 (1) (2005) 343-348] is generalized to the tilting modules of finite projective dimension.     

From triangulated categories to abelian categories: cluster tilting in a general framework

A general framework for cluster tilting is set up by showing that any quotient of a triangulated category modulo a tilting subcategory (i.e., a maximal 1-orthogonal subcategory) carries an induced abelian structure. These abelian quotients turn out to be module categories of Gorenstein algebras of dimension at most one.      

On Modules over Endomorphism Algebras of Maximal Rigid Objects in 2-Calabi-Yau Triangulated Categories

This note investigates the modules over the endomorphism algebras of maximal rigid objects in 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories. We study the possible complements for almost complete tilting modules. Combining with Happel's theorem, we show that the possible exchange sequences for tilting modules over such algebras are induced by the exchange triangles for maximal rigid objects in the corresponding 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories. For the modules of infinite projective dimension, we generalize a recent result by Beaudet–Brüstle–Todorov for cluster-tilted algebras.     

All tilting modules are of finite type

We prove that any infinitely generated tilting module is of finite type, namely that its associated tilting class is the Ext-orthogonal of a set of modules possessing a projective resolution consisting of finitely generated projective modules.

     

Cotorsion pairs generated by modules of bounded projective dimension

We apply the theory of cotorsion pairs to study closure properties of classes of modules with finite projective dimension with respect to direct limit operations and to filtrations. We also prove that if the ring is an order in an ℵ₀-noetherian ring Q of little finitistic dimension 0, then the cotorsion pair generated by the modules of projective dimension at most one is of finite type if and only if Q has big finitistic dimension 0. This applies, for example, to semiprime Goldie rings and to Cohen Macaulay noetherian commutative rings.     

Two-dimensional Irreducible Algebraic Semigroups

We study two-dimensional irreducible projective smooth algebraic semigroups. Minimal surface semigroups with Kodaira dimension at most one are partially classified. We also calculate the local dimension of the moduli scheme parameterizing all algebraic semigroup laws on a fixed minimal surface.     

On Tubular Tilting Objects in the Stable Category of Vector Bundles

The present paper focuses on the study of the stable category of vector bundles for the weighted projective lines of weight triple. We find some important triangles in this category and use them to construct tilting objects with tubular endomorphism algebras for the case of genus one via cluster tilting theory.     

Two results on the path algebra of a directed graph

It is proved that the pain algebra of a directed graph (with at jeast one edge) has dimension one more than the dimension of the ground ring, and it is projective as a module over the path algehra of a subgraph.

Recollements and tilting objects

We study connections between recollements of the derived category D(Mod R) of a ring R and tilting theory. We first provide constructions of tilting objects from given recollements, recovering several different results from the literature. Secondly, we show how to construct a recollement from a tilting module of projective dimension one. By Nicolás and Saorín (2009) [31], every recollement of D(Mod R) is associated to a differential graded homological epimorphism λ:R→S. We will focus on the case where λ is a homological ring epimorphism or even a universal localization. Our results will be employed in a forthcoming paper in order to investigate stratifications of D(Mod R).     

A tight bound on the projective dimension of four quadrics

Motivated by Stillman's question, we show that the projective dimension of an ideal generated by four quadric forms in a polynomial ring is at most 6; moreover, this bound is tight. We achieve this bound, in part, by giving a characterization of the low degree generators of ideals primary to height three primes of multiplicities one and two.
