The rigidity of filtered colimits of n-cluster tilting subcategories

TL;DR

This paper investigates when n-cluster tilting subcategories induce similar structures in module categories, connecting higher homological algebra, Ext vanishing, and the rigidity of filtered colimits, with implications for Iyama's finiteness conjecture.

Contribution

It characterizes conditions under which filtered colimits of n-cluster tilting subcategories retain tilting properties and relates these to Ext vanishing and Iyama's finiteness question.

Abstract

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ be an n-cluster tilting subcategory of $\Lambda$-mod with $n\ge 2$. From the viewpoint of higher homological algebra, a question that naturally arose in [17] is when $\mathcal{M}$ induces an n-cluster tilting subcategory of $\Lambda$-Mod. In this paper, we answer this question and explore its connection to Iyama's question on the finiteness of n-cluster tilting subcategories of $\Lambda$-mod. In fact, our theorem reformulates Iyama's question in terms of the vanishing of Ext; and highlights its relation with the rigidity of filtered colimits of $\mathcal{M}$. Also, we show that Add$(\mathcal{M})$ is an n-cluster tilting subcategory of $\Lambda$-Mod if and only if Add$(\mathcal{M})$ is a maximal n-rigid subcategory of $\Lambda$-Mod if and only if $\lbrace X\in \Lambda$-Mod$~|~ {\rm Ext}^i_{\Lambda}(\mathcal{M},X)=0 ~~~ {\rm for ~all}~ 0<i<n \rbrace \subseteq {\rm Add}(\mathcal{M})$ if and only if $\mathcal{M}$ is of finite type if and only if ${\rm Ext}_{\Lambda}^1({\underrightarrow{\lim}}\mathcal{M}, {\underrightarrow{\lim}}\mathcal{M})=0$. Moreover, we present several equivalent conditions for Iyama's question which shows the relation of Iyama's question with different subjects in representation theory such as purity and covering theory.
