A module with zero -injective dimension (resp. -projective dimension) is called *-injective *(resp. -projective).

In Section 2, we study some basic properties of the Gorenstein -projective modules. Recall that a ring is said to be cocoherent if every finitely cogenerated module is finitely copresented. So, is a cocoherent ring if and only if . For more information about the cocoherent rings, we refer the reader to [5]. As a cogeneralization of this concept, we call a ring to be -cocoherent if .
Section 3 is devoted to some characterizations of -cocoherent rings over which all modules are Gorenstein -projective. For instance, it is proved that every module is Gorenstein -projective if and if every -injective module is -projective if and if every -injective module is Gorenstein -projective. Finally, we give a sufficient condition under which every Gorenstein -projective module is -projective.
1 Gorenstein -Projectivity
We start with the following definition.
Definition 1
.* Let be a tilting module. Then*
- (1)
* is called -projective if , for every .* 2. (2)
Let . Then, is called Gorenstein -projective if there exists an exact sequence of -projective modules
[TABLE]
with such that leaves this sequence exact whenever with
Remark 2
. Let be a tilting module. Then
- (1)
for any -projective module and any . 2. (2)
If , then is -projective.
Lemma 3
.* Let be an exact sequence. Then*
- (1)
If is -injective and , then . 2. (2)
If and , then 3. (3)
If and , then 4. (4)
If and , then
**Proof. **
(* 1) If is -injective and , then we deduce that the sequence*
[TABLE]
is exact. So, there exists such that
(2) We prove the assertion by induction on . If , then the commutative diagram with exact rows
[TABLE]
exists, where , is the inclusion map, is a canonical epimorphism and is endomorphism, by Five Lemma. Let , and . It is clear that and ; so, the induction implies that . Hence .
(3) Let and , then the following commutative diagram with exact rows:
\begin{array}[]{ccccccccc}&{0}&{0}&\\ &{\downarrow}&{\downarrow}&\\ 0\longrightarrow A&={=}A&&&\\ \downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow B\longrightarrow T_{0}\longrightarrow L\longrightarrow 0\\ \downarrow&&\downarrow&\parallel&\\ 0\longrightarrow C\longrightarrow D\longrightarrow L\longrightarrow 0&\\ &&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ &&0&0\end{array}**
where and . By (2), . So, we deduce that .
(4) Let and , then the following commutative diagram with exact rows:
\begin{array}[]{ccccccccc}&{0}&{0}&\\ &{\downarrow}&{\downarrow}&\\ 0\longrightarrow A\longrightarrow T_{0}^{{}^{\prime}}\longrightarrow L^{{}^{\prime}}\longrightarrow 0\\ \downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow B\longrightarrow T_{0}\longrightarrow L\longrightarrow 0\\ \downarrow&&\downarrow&\parallel&\\ 0\longrightarrow C\longrightarrow D\longrightarrow L\longrightarrow 0&\\ &&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ &&0&0\end{array}**
where and . Since is -injective, we have that By (1), and . Thus for any , we have
[TABLE]
Hence . On the other hand, . Therefore, we conclude that
In the following theorem, we show that in the case of -cocoherent rings, the existence of -projective complex of a module is sufficient to be Gorenstein -projective.
Theorem 4
.* Let be a -cocoherent ring and be a module. Then is Gorenstein -projective if and only if there is an exact sequence*
[TABLE]
of -projective modules such that .
**Proof. **
() : This is a direct consequence of definition.
() : By definition, it suffices to show that is exact for every module with . To prove this, we use the induction on . The case is clear. Assume that . Since , there exists an exact sequence with . Now, from the -cocoherence of and Lemma 3, we deduce that . Also, and . Thus by Remark 2, the following short exact sequence of complexes exists:
\begin{array}[]{ccccccccc}&\vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\\ &\downarrow&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow&{\rm Hom}(B^{1},U)&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B^{1},T_{0})&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B^{1},I)\longrightarrow 0\\ &\downarrow&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow&{\rm Hom}(B^{0},U)&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B^{0},T_{0})&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B^{0},I)\longrightarrow 0\\ &\downarrow&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow&{\rm Hom}(B_{0},U)&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B_{0},T_{0})&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B_{0},I)\longrightarrow 0\\ &\downarrow&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ 0\longrightarrow&{\rm Hom}(B_{1},U)&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B_{1},T_{0})&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}(B_{1},I)\longrightarrow 0\\ &\downarrow&\downarrow&\downarrow&\\ &\vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\\ &\parallel&\parallel&\parallel&\\ 0\longrightarrow&{\rm Hom}({\mathbf{B}},U)&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}({\mathbf{B}},T_{0})&\longrightarrow{\rm Hom}({\mathbf{B}},I)\longrightarrow 0.\\ \end{array}
By induction, and are exact, hence is exact by [8, Theorem 6.10]. Therefore, is Gorenstein -projective.* *
It is worthy to mention that the notion of -injectivity (-projectivity) is different from the notion of an -injective (-projective) module in [1].
Corollary 5
.* Let be a -cocoherent ring and be a module. Then the following assertions are equivalent:*
- (1)
* is Gorenstein -projective;* 2. (2)
There is an exact sequence of modules, where every is -projective; 3. (3)
There is a short exact sequence of modules, where is -projective and is Gorenstein -projective.
**Proof. **
and follow from definition.
For module , [6, Proposition 2.1] implies that . So, there is an exact sequence
[TABLE]
where any , -projective by Remark 2. Thus, the exact sequence
[TABLE]
of -projective modules exists, where . Therefore, is Gorenstein -projective, by Theorem 4.
Assume that the exact sequence
[TABLE]
exists, where is -projective and is Gorenstein -projective. Since is Gorenstein -projective, there is an exact sequence
[TABLE]
where every is -projective. Assembling the sequences and , we get the exact sequence
[TABLE]
where and every is -projective, as desired.* *
Proposition 6
.* For any module , the following statements hold.*
- (1)
If is Gorenstein -projective, then for all and every module with . 2. (2)
If is an exact sequence of modules where every is a Gorenstein -projective and , then for any and any module with .
**Proof. **
(1) Let be a Gorenstein -projective module, and . Then by hypothesis, the following -projective resolution of exists:
[TABLE]
By Remark 2, for every and every . Since , we deduce that .
(2) Setting and , for every , the short exact sequence exist. Thus by (1), the induced exact sequences
[TABLE]
exists and so , for every . Since , we have
[TABLE]
as desired.* *
Next, we study the Gorenstein -projectivity of modules on -cocoherent rings, in short exact sequences.
Proposition 7
.* Let be -cocoherent and consider the exact sequence , where is -projective. Then --. In particular, if is Gorenstein -projective, so is .*
**Proof. **
We shall show that --. In fact, we may assume that -. Then, by definition, admits a Gorenstein -projective resolution:
[TABLE]
Assembling this sequence and the short exact sequence , the following commutative diagram is obtained:
\begin{array}[]{ccccccccccccccccc}0&\longrightarrow&B_{n}&\longrightarrow&\cdots&\longrightarrow&B_{1}\longrightarrow&B_{0}&\longrightarrow&B&\longrightarrow&G&\longrightarrow&0\\ &&&&&&&\downarrow&&\uparrow&&\\ &&&&&&&N&={=}{={=}}&N&\\ &&&&&&&\downarrow&&\uparrow&\\ &&&&&&&0&&0&\\ \end{array}
which shows that -. The particular case follows from Corollary 5.* *
Proposition 8
.* Let be a -cocoherent ring and be an exact sequence, where . If is Gorenstein -projective and is -projective, then is Gorenstein -projective.*
**Proof. **
Since is Gorenstein -projective, by Corollary 5, there exists an exact sequence of , where is -projective and is Gorenstein -projective. Now, we consider the following diagram:
\begin{array}[]{ccccccccc}&&0&&0&&\\ &&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\\ 0&\longrightarrow&N&\longrightarrow&G&\longrightarrow&B&\longrightarrow&0\\ &&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\parallel&&\\ 0&\longrightarrow&B^{\prime}&\longrightarrow&D&\longrightarrow&B&\longrightarrow&0\\ &&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\\ &&K&={=}&K&&\\ &&\downarrow&&\downarrow&&\\ &&0&&0&&\\ \end{array}
The exactness of the middle horizontal sequence with and , -projective, implies that is -projective. Hence from the middle vertical sequence and Corollary 5, we deduce that is Gorenstein -projective.

This section is devoted to -cocoherent rings over which every module is Gorenstein -projective.
Lemma 9
.* Let be a tilting module and . Then, .*
**Proof. **
Let . Then, the short exact sequence exists. We have . So, . By [6, Proposition 2.1], , since is tilting. Thus by Lemma 3, , and hence .

Proposition 10
.* Let be a ring. The following assertions are equivalent:*
- (1)
Every module belong , is Gorenstein -projective; 2. (2)
The ring satisfies the following two conditions:
(i)* Every -injective module is -projective.*
(ii)* for any and any with .*
**Proof. **
The condition follows from this fact that every -injective module is Gorenstein -projective. So, the following -projective resolution of exists:
[TABLE]
Since is -injective, is -projective as a direct summand of . Also, Proposition 6(1) and (1) imply that for any module and any module with finite -injective dimension. So the condition follows.
Let be.Then by Lemma 9, . So, a -resolution and a - resolution of exists. By Remark 2, any is -projective and any is -injective. Hence by (2), every is -projective. Assembling these resolutions, we get the following exact sequence of -projective modules:
[TABLE]
where . So by (2)(ii), is exact for any module with finite -injective dimension. Hence is Gorenstein -projective.* *
The next theorem shows that if is a -cocoherent ring and every -injective module is Gorenstein -projective, then every module is Gorenstein -projective.
Theorem 11
.* Let be a -cocoherent ring. Then the following are equivalent:*
- (1)
Every module is Gorenstein -projective; 2. (2)
Every Gorenstein -injective module is Gorenstein -projective; 3. (4)
Every -injective module is Gorenstein -projective; 4. (5)
Every -injective module is -projective.
**Proof. **
This is a clear.
Let be a -injective module. Every -injective module is Gorenstein -injective (see,[9]). Since is Gorenstein -injective, impelis that is Gorenstein -projective by hypothesis.
Let be a -injective module. Since is -injective, impelis that is Gorenstein -projective by hypothesis. By Corollary 5, there exists an exact sequence where is -projective. Thus the sequence splits. Hence is -projective as a direct summand of .
Let . Then by Lemma 9, there is an exact sequence
[TABLE]
where any is -injective. Then by (5), every is -projective. Hence Corollary 5 completes the proof.

We denote the right -projective dimension of any module by , and
Example 12
. Let be a -Gorenstein ring and be the minimal injective resolution of . Then, . Since by [4], is a tilting module. So, any is -projective and hence, any is Gorenstein -projective for .
Definition 13
.* We define the global -projective dimension of any ring to be:*
[TABLE]
Clearly, every -projective module is Gorenstein -projective. But the converse is not true in general. We finish this paper with the following theorem which determines a sufficient condition under which the converse holds.
Theorem 14
.* If , then every Gorenstein -projective module is -projective.*
**Proof. **
Suppose that ., and is a Gorenstein -projective module. If , then for any , and hence is -projective. For , since is Gorenstein -projective, there exists an exact sequence with each is -projective. Let . Then
