Duality Pairs Induced by One-Sided Gorenstein Subcategories

TL;DR

This paper establishes duality pairs between Gorenstein subcategories of modules over rings and their opposites, with applications to Gorenstein flat and injective modules under certain coherence and semidualizing conditions.

Contribution

It introduces new duality pairs induced by one-sided Gorenstein subcategories and explores their properties and applications in module theory.

Findings

Duality pairs are formed between right and left Gorenstein subcategories.

Conditions under which these subcategories are covering and preenveloping are identified.

Applications include properties of Gorenstein flat and injective modules over certain rings.

Abstract

For a ring $R$ and an additive subcategory $\C$ of the category $\Mod R$ of left $R$-modules, under some conditions we prove that the right Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R$ and the left Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R^{op}$ relative to $\C$ form a coproduct-closed duality pair. Let $R,S$ be rings and $C$ a semidualizing ($R,S$)-bimodule. As applications of the above result, we get that if $S$ is right coherent and $C$ is faithfully semidualizing, then $(\mathcal{GF}_C(R),\mathcal{GI}_C(R^{op}))$ is a coproduct-closed duality pair and $\mathcal{GF}_C(R)$ is covering in $\Mod R$, where $\mathcal{G}\mathcal{F}_C(R)$ is the subcategory of $\Mod R$ consisting of $C$-Gorenstein flat modules and $\mathcal{G}\mathcal{I}_C(R^{op})$ is the subcategory of $\Mod R^{op}$ consisting of $C$-Gorenstein injective modules; we also get that if $S$ is right coherent, then $(\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op}),l\mathcal{G}(\mathcal{F}_C(R)))$ is a coproduct-closed and product-closed duality pair and $\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op})$ is covering and preenveloping in $\Mod R^{op}$, where $\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op})$ is the Auslander class in $\Mod R^{op}$ and $l\mathcal{G}(\mathcal{F}_C(R))$ is the left Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R$ relative to $C$-flat modules.
