Tensor and Torsion Products of Relative Injective Modules with Respect to a Semidualizing Module

Let R be a commutative Cohen–Macaulay ring, and let C be a semidualizing module of R. In this paper, we show that C is generically dualizing if and only if the tensor products of injective and C-injective R-modules are injective. This leads to a characterization of dualizing modules as well as generalizes a result of Enochs and Jenda.     

New Characterizations of Dualizing Modules

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. In this article, we provide some new criteria for a semidualizing module to be dualizing in terms of special homological properties of module categories. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, it aims at improving Christensen's and Takahashi et al.'s characterizations of dualizing modules; secondly, while applying these criteria to the ring itself, we not only recover some results of Jenda and Xu, respectively, but also obtain a new characterization of Gorenstein rings.
