TL;DR

This paper constructs a triangulated hull of the stable module category within the homotopy category, providing new insights into self-injective algebras and their invariants under stable equivalences.

Contribution

It introduces a novel triangulated hull of the stable module category inside the homotopy category and extends this to a Nakayama-closed subcategory, preserving these structures under stable Morita equivalences.

Findings

Constructed the triangulated hull of the stable module category.

Characterized self-injective algebras using this hull.

Compared the Grothendieck group of the hull with the stable Grothendieck group.

Abstract

The stable module category has been realized as a subcategory of the unbounded homotopy category of projective modules by Kato. We construct the triangulated hull of this subcategory inside the homotopy category. This can also be used to characterize self-injective algebras. Moreover, we extend this construction to a subcategory closed under an induced Nakayama functor. Both of these categories are shown to be preserved by stable equivalences of Morita type. As an application, we study the Grothendieck group of this triangulated hull and compare it with the stable Grothendieck group.
