Homological Dimensions Relative to Special Subcategories

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be an abelian category, [Formula: see text] an additive, full and self-orthogonal subcategory of [Formula: see text] closed under direct summands, [Formula: see text] the right Gorenstein subcategory of [Formula: see text] relative to [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] the left orthogonal class of [Formula: see text]. For an object [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], we prove that if [Formula: see text] is in the right 1-orthogonal class of [Formula: see text], then the [Formula: see text]-projective and [Formula: see text]-projective dimensions of [Formula: see text] are identical; if the [Formula: see text]-projective dimension of [Formula: see text] is finite, then the [Formula: see text]-projective and [Formula: see text]-projective dimensions of [Formula: see text] are identical. We also prove that the supremum of the [Formula: see text]-projective dimensions of objects with finite [Formula: see text]-projective dimension and that of the [Formula: see text]-projective dimensions of objects with finite [Formula: see text]-projective dimension coincide. Then we apply these results to the category of modules.
