Torsion Theories Induced by Tilting Modules

Abstract

Let k be a commutative field, and A a finite-dimensional k-algebra. By a module will always be meant a finitely generated right module. Following [8], we shall call a module TA a tilting module if (1) pdTA ≦ 1, (2) Ext1A(T, T) = 0 and (3) there is a short exact sequencewith T’ and T” direct sums of direct summands of T. Given a tilting module TA, the full subcategories andof the category modA of A -modules are respectively the torsion-free class and the torsion class of a torsion theory on modA[8]. The aim of the present paper is to find conditions on a torsion theory in order that it be induced by a tilting module.
