1. Introduction
Tilting theory arises as a universal method for constructing equivalences between categories. Since its advent, it has been an essential tool in the study of many areas of mathematics, including algebraic group theory, commutative and noncommutative algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology.
Tilting theory can trace its history back to the article by Bernstein et al. [Reference Bernstein, Gelfand and Ponomarev8], where they used reflection functors to construct recursively all the indecomposable modules from simple modules over a representation-finite hereditary algebra. The major milestone in the development of tilting theory was the article by Brenner and Butler [Reference Brenner and Butler9]. They introduced the notion of a tilting module over a finite dimensional algebra and established the so-called Brenner–Butler theorem by a tilting module. In this article, the behavior of the associated quadratic forms was investigated as well. Dropping a more restrictive notion of tilting module defined by Brenner and Butler, Happel and Ringel [Reference Happel and Ringel15] successfully simplified the definition of original tilting modules. A few years later, Miyashita [Reference Miyashita26] generalized the concept of tilting modules allowing modules of any finite projective dimension and over any ring, for which a generalization of the Brenner–Butler theorem was still valid. Indeed, the authors, like Brenner and Butler [Reference Brenner and Butler9], Happel and Ringel [Reference Happel and Ringel15], and Miyashita [Reference Miyashita26], considered finitely generated tilting modules, obtaining portions of the Brenner–Butler theorem. Colpi and Trlifaj [Reference Colpi and Trlifaj10] generalized the notion of tilting module to not necessarily finitely generated modules. Later on, Angeleri-Hügel and Coelho [Reference Angeleri-Hügel and Coelho1] did the same with the concept of Miyashita.
On the other hand, functor categories, introduced by Auslander [Reference Auslander2], are used as a potent tool for solving some important problems in representation theory. Martsinkovsky and Russell have studied the injective stabilization of additive functors (see [Reference Martsinkovsky and Russell23–Reference Martsinkovsky and Russell25]). Recently, Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20–Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales22] initialed the study of tilting theory in arbitrary functor categories with applications to the functor category Mod( $\mathcal{A}$ ) for $\mathcal{A}$ a category of modules over a finite dimensional algebra. The first one [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20] in a series of three is to deal with the concept of tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , which is the category of contravariant functors from a skeletally small additive category $\mathcal{C}$ , to the category of abelian groups. They showed that the Brenner and Butler theorem holds for $\mathcal{T}$ . In the second and third papers [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21, Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales22], replacing a tilting subcategory with a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , they continued the project of extending tilting theory to the same functor category with particular focusing on the equivalence of the derived categories of bounded complexes $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits ^b\!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ and $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits ^b\!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T}))$ .
In the same spirit as in the above-mentioned results of Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales, in this paper, we aim at extending some well-known results, relating generalized tilting modules in module category, to a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . We now give a brief outline of the contents of this paper.
In Section 2, we collect preliminary notions and results on functor categories that will be useful throughout the paper and we fix notation. We also give an example of a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ (see Example 2.4).
In Section 3, we are interested in studying a generalized version of the Brenner–Butler theorem in functor category. More precisely, we show in Theorem 3.4 that for a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ one gets an equivalence between the categories $\mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ and $\mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ . As an application of this main theorem, we state in Theorem 3.8 that if $\mathcal{C}$ is an abelian category with enough injectives and $\mathcal{T}$ is an $n$ -tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ with pseudokernels, then the Grothendieck groups $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ and $K_0(\mathcal{T})$ are isomorphic.
In Section 4, we prove in Theorem 4.3 that for a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ is a hereditary and complete cotorsion pair. Furthermore, this induces an abelian model structure on $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , where the trivial objects are the exact complexes, the cofibrant objects are $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})}$ complexes, and the class of fibrant objects is given by the complexes whose terms are in $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ (see Corollary 4.6).
In Section 5, we use the model structure on $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ to describe the t-structure on the derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , induced by a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ (see Theorem 5.5).
2. Preliminaries
Throughout this paper, $\mathcal{C}$ will be an arbitrary skeletally small additive category, and $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ will denote the category of additive contravariant functors from $\mathcal{C}$ to the category of abelian groups. It follows from [Reference Prest28, Theorem 1.2 and Proposition 1.9] or [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Section 1.2] that $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is a Grothendieck category with enough projective objects. In addition, $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ also has enough injective objects by [Reference Jensen and Lenzing19, p.384, Theorem B.3]. If $M,N\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , we denote the set $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})(M,N)$ of natural transformations $M\to N$ by ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{C}}(M,N)$ . Following [Reference Auslander3], a functor $F$ is called representable if it is isomorphic to $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)$ for some $C\in \mathcal{C}$ . A functor $F$ is finitely generated if there is an epimorphism $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)\to F\to 0$ with $C\in \mathcal{C}$ . A functor $F$ is finitely presented, if there exists a sequence of natural transformations $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C_1)\to \mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C_0)\to F\to 0$ with $C_0, C_1\in \mathcal{C}$ such that for any $C\in \mathcal{C}$ the sequence of abelian groups $\mathcal{C}(C,C_1)\to \mathcal{C}(C,C_0)\to F(C)\to 0$ is exact. We denote by mod( $\mathcal{C}$ ) the full subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ consisting of finitely presented functors. An object $P$ in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is projective (finitely generated projective) if and only if $P$ is a summand of $\coprod _{i\in I}\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C_i)$ for a (finite) family $\{{C_i}\}_{i\in I}$ of objects in $\mathcal{C}$ (see [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Paragraph 3 of Section 1.2]). We recall from [Reference Auslander3, p.188] that an annuli variety is a skeletally small additive category in which idempotents split.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and $F\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ , then there is an exact sequence $\mathcal{A}(\,\,\,\,,X)\buildrel{(\,\,\,\,,f)} \over \longrightarrow \mathcal{A}(\,\,\,\,,Y)\buildrel{} \over \longrightarrow F\to 0$ , the value of $v$ at $F$ is defined by the following exact sequence $X\buildrel{f} \over \longrightarrow Y\to v(F)\to 0$ . This assignment extends to the defect functor $v$ : $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{A}$ .
Lemma 2.1. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an annuli variety and $\mathcal{T}$ a skeletally small full subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . We define the following functor:
where the contravariant functor ${\textrm{Hom}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}\,:\, \mathcal{T}\to{\bf Ab}$ is given by ${\textrm{Hom}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}(T)={\textrm{Hom}}(T,M)$ for any $T\in \mathcal{T}$ . Then the following statements hold.
-
(1) The functor $\phi$ has a left adjoint $-\otimes \mathcal{T}\,:\, \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T}) \to \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
-
(2) $\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T)\otimes \mathcal{T}=T$ for any $T\in \mathcal{T}$ .
-
(3) $-\otimes \mathcal{T}|_{\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})}=v$ .
Proof. (1) and (2) come from [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21, Theorem 3] and [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Remark 1], respectively.
(3) It suffices to show that $(v,\phi )$ is an adjoint pair. Let $M\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and $N\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , we need to find an isomorphism
which is natural in both $M$ and $N$ . Suppose that there is an exact sequence $\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_1)\buildrel{} \over \longrightarrow \mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_0)\buildrel{} \over \longrightarrow M\to 0$ with $T_1, T_0\in \mathcal{T}$ . By the construction of defect functor, we get an exact sequence $T_1\buildrel{f} \over \longrightarrow T_0\to v(M)\to 0$ in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . It follows from the Yoneda Lemma that $(\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_1), \phi (N))\cong (T_1, N)$ and $(\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_0), \phi (N))\cong (T_0, N)$ . Then we have the following commutative diagram with exact rows
So $\theta$ is an isomorphism and it is easy to check that $\theta$ is natural in both $M$ and $N$ .
Following [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20] and [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21], given categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ as in Lemma 2.1, since $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ and $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ have enough projective and injective objects, we can define the $n$ th right derived functors of the functors ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{C}}(M,\,\,\,\,)$ and ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,N)$ , which will be denoted by ${\textrm{Ext}}^n_{\mathcal{C}}(M,\,\,\,\,)$ and ${\textrm{Ext}}^n_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,N)$ , respectively.
In the same way, the functor $\phi \,:\, \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})\to \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ has an $n$ th right derived functor, denoted by ${\textrm{Ext}}^n_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,-)_{\mathcal{T}}$ , and they are defined as ${\textrm{Ext}}^n_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,-)_{\mathcal{T}}(M)={\textrm{Ext}}^n_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}$ . Analogously, the functor $-\otimes \mathcal{T}\,:\, \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T}) \to \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ has an $n$ th left derived functor, denoted by $\textrm{Tor}_n^{\mathcal{T}}(\,\,\,\,,\mathcal{T})$ .
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . $\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ (resp. $\mathop{\textrm{add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ ) will denote the class of functors isomorphic to summands of (finite) direct sums of objects in $\mathcal{T}$ and $\mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(\mathcal{T}$ ) will denote the full subcategory consisting of $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ for which there exists an exact sequence of the form $T_n\to \cdots \to T_2\to T_1\to M\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ . For any $i\geqslant 1$ , we write
We denote by $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ the full subcategory of $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ consisting of functors $M$ such that there is an exact sequence of the form $\cdots \buildrel{f_{2}} \over \longrightarrow T_1\buildrel{f_{1}} \over \longrightarrow T_0\buildrel{f_{0}} \over \longrightarrow M\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and ${\textrm{Im}} \,f_i\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ . It is easy to see that objects in $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ are in $\mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(\mathcal{T}$ ) for each $n$ .
Next we recall the concept of cotorsion pairs in abelian categories, due to Holm and Jørgensen [Reference Holm and Jørgensen16, Section 6].
Definition 2.2. Let $\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}$ be two classes in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
-
(1) The pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is called a cotorsion pair if ${\mathcal{A}^{\perp _1}}=\mathcal{B}$ and ${^{\perp _1}\mathcal{B}}=\mathcal{A}$ .
-
(2) A cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is generated by a class $\mathcal{X}$ of objects if ${\mathcal{X}^{\perp _1}}=\mathcal{B}$ .
-
(3) A cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ has enough projectives, that is, for every $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ there exists an exact sequence $0 \to B \to A \to M \to 0$ with $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B\in \mathcal{B}$ . Dually, we say that a cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ has enough injectives, that is, for every $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ there exists an exact sequence $0\to M \to B \to A \to 0$ with $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B\in \mathcal{B}$ .
-
(4) A cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is complete when it has enough injectives and enough projectives.
-
(5) A cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is hereditary if ${\mathcal{A}^{\perp _{\infty }}}=\mathcal{B}$ and ${^{\perp _{\infty }}\mathcal{B}}=\mathcal{A}$ .
Now we will introduce the notion of a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
Definition 2.3. ([Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21, Definition 6]). Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an annuli variety. A full subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is generalized tilting if the following statements (1)–(3) hold.
-
(1) There exists a fixed integer $n$ such that every object $T$ in $\mathcal{T}$ has a projective resolution
\begin{equation*}0\to P_n\to \cdots \to P_{1}\to P_{0}\to T\to 0,\end{equation*}with each $P_i$ finitely generated. -
(2) For each pair of objects $T$ and $T^{\prime}$ in $\mathcal{T}$ and any positive integer $i$ , we have ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(T,T^{\prime})=0$ .
-
(3) For each representable functor $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)$ , there is an exact sequence
\begin{equation*}0\to \mathcal {C}(\,\,\,\,,C)\to T^0_C\to \cdots \to T^{m_c}_C\to 0,\end{equation*}with $T^i_C$ in $\mathcal{T}$ . -
(3′) There is a fixed integer $m$ such that each representable functor $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)$ has an exact sequence
\begin{equation*}0\to \mathcal {C}(\,\,\,\,,C)\to T^0_C\to \cdots \to T^{m}_C\to 0,\end{equation*}with $T^i_C$ in $\mathcal{T}$ .
For a general subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , we use $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \mathcal{T}$ to denote the the supremum of the set of projective dimensions of all $T$ in $\mathcal{T}$ . If $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting with $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \mathcal{T}\leqslant n$ satisfying condition $(3^{\prime})$ , and the integer $m$ in condition $(3^{\prime})$ equals $n$ , then we say $\mathcal{T}$ is $n$ -tilting. It should be pointed that a tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ defined in [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Definition 8] is exactly 1-tilting when $\mathcal{T}$ is closed under taking direct summands.
Finally, we end this section by showing that there exists a natural example of a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
Example 2.4. Let $\Lambda$ be an artin $R$ -algebra and $\mathcal{C}=\mathop{\textrm{add}}\nolimits \Lambda$ . Assume that $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \Lambda$ has a classical $n$ -tilting module $T$ . Then we have an $n$ -tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathop{\textrm{add}}\nolimits \Lambda )$ .
Proof. Since $T$ is a classical $n$ -tilting module, it follows from [Reference Bazzoni, Mantese and Tonolo6] that $T$ satisfies the following conditions:
(1) There exists a projective resolution $0\to P_n\to \cdots \to P_{1}\to P_{0}\to T\to 0$ with each $P_i$ finitely generated,
(2) ${\textrm{Ext}}_{\Lambda }^{i\geqslant 1}(T,T)=0$ ,
(3) There is an exact sequence $0\to \Lambda \to T_0\to T_1\to \cdots \to T_n\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{add}}\nolimits \!(T)$ .
We set $\mathcal{T}=\{\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,T^{\prime})$ $|$ $T^{\prime}\in \mathop{\textrm{add}}\nolimits T\}$ . It is easy to verify that $\mathcal{T}$ is an $n$ -tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
3. Equivalences induced by a generalized tilting subcategory
Our purpose in this section is to study category equivalences induced by a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . First, we observe the following key result, which is vital in proving the main theorem of this section.
Proposition 3.1. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting with $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \mathcal{T}\leqslant n$ for some integer $n$ . Then the following statements are equivalent for any $M$ in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
-
(1) $M\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ .
-
(2) $M\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ .
-
(3) $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(\mathcal{T})$ .
Proof. (1) $\Rightarrow$ (2) For each representable functor $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)$ , since $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting, there is an exact sequence
with $T^i_C$ in $\mathcal{T}$ . Note that $M\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ , we have a commutative diagram
where $\mathop{\textrm{Tr}}\nolimits _{T^0_C}\!(M)=\sum \{{\textrm{Im}} \psi \mid \psi \in{\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{C}}(T^0_C,M)\}.$ Then it follows from Diagram (3.1) that $\alpha$ is epic. Since $\alpha$ is also monic, by Yoneda’s lemma, we have
Thus $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _1\!(\mathcal{T})$ and there is an exact sequence $0\to M_1 \to \coprod _{T\in \mathcal{T}}T^{(X_T)}\to M\to 0$ with $X_T={\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{C}}(T,M)$ . Moreover, this exact sequence remains exact after applying the functor $\phi$ to it. Observe that ${\textrm{Ext}}^{i\geqslant 1}_{\mathcal{C}}(T, T^{\prime(X)})=0$ for any $T,T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ and any set $X$ by [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Proposition 4]. So $M_1\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ . Now repeating the process to $M_1$ , we obtain that $M\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ .
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (3) is obvious.
(3) $\Rightarrow$ (1) The case for $n=0$ is trivial. Now suppose that $n\gt 0$ , then by assumption there is an exact sequence $0\to N\to T_n\to \cdots \to T_1\to M\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ . Because $\mathcal{T}$ is self-orthogonal, we have ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(T,M)\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^{i+n}_{\mathcal{C}}(T,N)$ for any $T$ in $\mathcal{T}$ and any $i\geqslant 1$ by dimension shift. But the latter equals 0, since $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \mathcal{T}\leqslant n$ . Therefore, $M\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ .
The following two results, dual to each other, will be used throughout.
Lemma 3.2. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting and $M$ is an object in $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . Then $\phi (M)\otimes \mathcal{T}\cong M$ and $\phi (M)\in{^{\top _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}}$ .
Proof. Since $M\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ , $M\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ by Proposition 3.1, in particular there is an exact sequence
with $T_i=\coprod _{T\in \mathcal{T}}T^{(X_i)}$ and each ${\textrm{Im}} \,f_i\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ . Applying the functor $\phi$ to (3.2) yields the following exact sequence
Thanks to [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Theorem 2], the functor $\phi$ preserves direct sums. Thus, each $\phi (T_i)$ is projective in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ . Moreover, by Lemma 2.1, we have the following commutative diagram
Consequently, we obtain that $\phi (M)\otimes \mathcal{T}\cong M$ and $\phi (M)\in{^{\top _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}}$ .
Analogously, dualizing the proof of the above lemma, we have the following
Lemma 3.3. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting and $N$ is an object in $^{\top _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}$ . Then $N\cong \phi (N\otimes \mathcal{T})$ and $N\otimes \mathcal{T}\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ .
Proof. Consider the following projective resolution of $N$
with $P_i=\coprod _{j_i\in J_i}\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_{j_i})$ . Since $({-}\otimes \mathcal{T},\phi )$ forms an adjoint pair by Lemma 2.1, the functor $-\otimes \mathcal{T}$ preserves direct sums and $(\coprod _{j_i\in J_i}\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_{j_i}))\otimes \mathcal{T} \cong \coprod _{j_i\in J_i}T_{j_i}$ . By the assumption of $N$ , applying the functor $-\otimes \mathcal{T}$ to (3.3) yields the following exact sequence
Note that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting, we have that $P_i\otimes \mathcal{T}\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ for any $i\geqslant 0$ . Moreover, we have the following commutative diagram
So we get that $N\cong \phi (N\otimes \mathcal{T})$ and $N\otimes \mathcal{T}\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ .
In order to present the main theorem in this section, we need to introduce the following notions.
Theorem 3.4. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting and $e$ is a non-negative integer. Then there are two category equivalences
Proof. We can apply Lemmas 3.2 and 3.3 to conclude that the equivalence holds for $e=0$ . Now assume that $e\geqslant 1$ and $M\in \mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ . Consider an injective resolution of $M$
Since ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,{\textrm{Im}} \,f_e)_{\mathcal{T}}\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^{i+e}_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}=0$ for any $i\geqslant 1$ . It follows from Lemma 3.2 that $\phi ({\textrm{Im}} \,f_e)\otimes \mathcal{T}\cong{\textrm{Im}} \,f_e$ and $\phi ({\textrm{Im}} \,f_e)\in{^{\top _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}}$ . Applying the functor $\phi$ to (3.4), we get an exact sequence
with $X\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^{1}_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,{\textrm{Im}} \,f_{e-1})_{\mathcal{T}}\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^{e}_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}.$ Because every term except $X$ in the exact sequence belongs to $^{\top _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}$ , the $i$ th-homology can be computed by it. Therefore, we obtain that $\textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{i}(X,\mathcal{T})=0$ for any $0\leqslant i\lt \infty$ and $i\neq e$ , $\textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{e}(X,\mathcal{T})\cong M$ .
Conversely, suppose that $N\in \mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ . Consider a projective resolution of $N$
with $P_i=\coprod _{j_i\in J_i}\mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_{j_i})$ . Since $\textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{i}({\textrm{Im}}\, g_e,\mathcal{T})\cong \textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{i+e}(N,\mathcal{T})=0$ for any $i\geqslant 1$ . It follows from Lemma 3.3 that ${\textrm{Im}}\, g_e\cong \phi ({\textrm{Im}}\, g_e\otimes \mathcal{T})$ and ${\textrm{Im}}\, g_e\otimes \mathcal{T}\in{\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}$ . Applying the functor $-\otimes \mathcal{T}$ to (3.5), we get an exact sequence
with $Y\cong \textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{1}({\textrm{Im}}\, g_{e-1},\mathcal{T})\cong \textrm{Tor}^{\mathcal{T}}_{e}(N,\mathcal{T})$ . Because every term except $Y$ in the exact sequence belongs to $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ , the $i$ th-cohomology can be computed by it. Therefore, we obtain that ${\textrm{Ext}}_{\mathcal{C}}^{i}(\,\,\,\,,Y)_{\mathcal{T}}=0$ for any $0\leqslant i\lt \infty$ and $i\neq e$ , ${\textrm{Ext}}_{\mathcal{C}}^{e}(\,\,\,\,,Y)_{\mathcal{T}}\cong N$ .
Given a 1-tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ , Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales in [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Theorem 3] proved that $\phi$ and $-\otimes \mathcal{T}$ induce an equivalence between $\mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{1}_0(\mathcal{T})$ and $\mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^{1}_0(\mathcal{T})$ . We generalize this result to $n$ -tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ as follows.
Corollary 3.5. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is $n$ -tilting. Then for any $0\leqslant e\leqslant n$ , there are two category equivalences
Proof. Since $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})\leqslant n$ , it is obvious that $\mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^n_e\!(\mathcal{T})=\mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ . For each representable functor $ \mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C)$ , there is an exact resolution
with $T^i$ in $\mathcal{T}$ . Then we get a projective resolution of $(\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C),\,\,\,\,)_{\mathcal{T}}$ :
Then [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Proposition 14] implies that $\textrm{Tor}_i^{\mathcal{T}}((\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C),\,\,\,\,)_{\mathcal{T}},N)\cong \textrm{Tor}_i^{\mathcal{T}}(N,\mathcal{T})(C)=0$ for any $N\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and $i\geqslant n+1$ . So the two categories $\mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^n_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ and $\mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_e\!(\mathcal{T})$ coincide. Finally, the conclusion follows by Theorem 3.4.
According to [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21], we say $\mathcal{C}$ has pseudokernels if given a map $f\,:\,C_1\to C_0$ in $\mathcal{C}$ , there is a map $g\,:\,C_2\to C_1$ in $\mathcal{C}$ such that the sequence of representable functors $\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,, C_2)\stackrel{\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,, g)}{\longrightarrow } \mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,, C_1)\stackrel{\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,, f)}{\longrightarrow }\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,, C_0)$ is exact. Since $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is an abelian category, $\mathcal{C}$ has pseudokernels if and only if $\mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits \!(, f)$ is finitely generated for each $f\,:\,C_1\to C_0$ in $\mathcal{C}$ . Next we turn to investigating the invariance of Grothendieck groups under generalized tilting. To this end, we need the following.
Definition 3.6. ([Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Definition 10]) Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a skeletally small preadditive category with pseudokernels. Let’s define by $|\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})|$ the set of isomorphism classes of objects in $|\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})|$ . Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the free abelian group generated by $|\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})|$ and $\mathcal{R}$ the subgroup of $\mathcal{A}$ generated by relations $[M]-[K]-[L]$ where $0\to K\to M\to L\to 0$ is a short exact sequence in $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Then, the Grothendieck group of $\mathcal{C}$ is $\mathcal{K}_0(\mathcal{C})=\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{R}$ .
It was proved in [Reference Auslander and Reiten4] that $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is abelian if and only if $\mathcal{C}$ has pseudokernels. We will use this result to show the following proposition.
Proposition 3.7. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an annuli variety and $\mathcal{T}$ a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Assume $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ have pseudokernels. Then the following statements hold.
-
(1) ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for any $M\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ and any $i\geqslant 0$ .
-
(2) $\textrm{Tor}_i^{\mathcal{T}}(N,\mathcal{T})\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ for any $N\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and any $i\geqslant 0$ .
Proof. (1) Since $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting, we may assume that $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \mathcal{T}\leqslant n$ for some integer $n$ . Let $M \in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , then there is an exact sequence $0\to K_1\to \mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C_0)\to M\to 0$ with $K_1 \in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Applying the functor $\phi$ to this exact sequence gives rise to the following exact sequence
It follows from the proof of [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21, Proposition 6] that ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,K_1)_{\mathcal{T}}$ is in $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for any $i \geqslant 0$ . On the other hand, by [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales21, Lemma 5], we know that ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,\mathcal{C}(\,\,\,\,,C_0))_{\mathcal{T}}$ is also in $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for any $i \geqslant 0$ . So ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\,\,\,\,,M)_{\mathcal{T}}\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for any $i\geqslant 0$ since $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ is abelian.
(2) Let $N\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and
a projective resolution of $N$ . Set $L_i={\textrm{Im}} \,f_i$ and split the resolution in short exact sequences: $0\to L_{i+1} \to \mathcal{T}(\,\,\,\,,T_i)\to L_i\to 0$ . Thus it follows from the long homology sequence that there are exact sequences:
Since $T_1\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , $L_1\otimes \mathcal{T}$ is finitely generated. Thus, ${\textrm{Im}} (L_1\otimes \mathcal{T}\to T_0)$ is finitely generated and so $N\otimes \mathcal{T}$ is finitely presented. Similarly, as $L_1\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , $L_1\otimes \mathcal{T}$ is finitely presented. Note that $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is abelian. We get that $\textrm{Tor}_1^{\mathcal{T}}(N,\mathcal{T})$ is finitely presented. Because $\textrm{Tor}_i^{\mathcal{T}}(N,\mathcal{T})\cong \textrm{Tor}_1^{\mathcal{T}}(L_{i-1},\mathcal{T})$ for any $i\geqslant 2$ , $\textrm{Tor}_i^{\mathcal{T}}(N,\mathcal{T})\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
We now come to the first application in this section, our method in the following has its origin in [Reference Miyashita26, Theorem 1.19].
Theorem 3.8. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an abelian category with enough injectives and $\mathcal{T}$ an $n$ -tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ with pseudokernels. Then the Grothendieck groups $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ and $K_0(\mathcal{T})$ are isomorphic.
Proof. We define two group homomorphisms
It is easily seen by Proposition 3.7 that $F$ and $G$ are well defined. For any $M\in \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , since $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ has enough injectives by [Reference Russell29, Section 6], we have an injective resolution
in $\mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Set $K_i={\textrm{Im}} \,f_i$ . Then $K_n\in \mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_0\!(\mathcal{T})\bigcap \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Thus, $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ is generated by the set of all $[X]$ with $X\in \mathop{\textrm{KE}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_0(\mathcal{T})\bigcap \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Dually we have that $K_0(\mathcal{T})$ is generated by the set of all $[Y]$ with $Y\in \mathop{\textrm{KT}}\nolimits ^{\infty }_0(\mathcal{T})\bigcap \mathop{\textrm{mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ . Since $GF([X])=[X]$ and $FG([Y])=[Y]$ by Theorem 3.4, we conclude that $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ and $K_0(\mathcal{T})$ are isomorphic.
Given $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , since $M$ has an injective envelope by [Reference Jensen and Lenzing19, Theorem B.3], we have a minimal injective resolution $0\rightarrow M \rightarrow I_0 \stackrel{f_0}{\longrightarrow } I_1\stackrel{f_1}{\longrightarrow }\cdots .$ Then $\mathop{\textrm{cTr}}\nolimits _{\mathcal{T}} M\,:\!=\,\mathop{\textrm{Coker}}\nolimits \phi ({f_0})$ is called the cotranspose of $M$ with respect to $\mathcal{T}$ . The notion is analogous to the cotranspose of a module with respect to a semidualizing bimodule defined in [Reference Tang and Huang32, Defintion 3.1]. Using the tool of cotransposes, Tang and Huang in [Reference Tang and Huang32, Proposition 3.2] established the so-called dual Auslander sequence. We will apply Theorem 3.4 to conclude that the dual Auslander sequence still holds in functor categories, but the approach used here is different.
Corollary 3.9. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is generalized tilting. Then for any $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , there is an exact sequence
Proof. Let $0\to M\to I_0\to I_1\to \cdots$ be a minimal injective resolution of $M$ . Applying the functor $\phi$ to it yields an exact sequence
where $K={\textrm{Im}}(\phi (I_0)\to \phi (I_1)).$ By Theorem 3.4, now applying the functor $\otimes \mathcal{T}$ to Diagram (3.6) gives rise to the following diagram
Therefore the left most column in the above diagram is as desired.
4. Cotorsion pair and model category structure
Our goal in this section is to construct a cotorsion pair induced by a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , allowing us to provide a model category structure on the category of complexes $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ . For the definition of a model structure, we refer to the book by Hoevy [Reference Hovey18].
The following lemma is straightforward, but we include a proof as we have not been able to find a suitable reference for it.
Lemma 4.1. Suppose that $\mathcal{T}$ is a subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Then the following statements hold.
-
(1) If $\mathcal{T}$ is closed under cokernels of monomorphisms and contains all injective objects in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , then ${^{\perp _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}}={^{\perp _{1}}\mathcal{T}}$ .
-
(2) If $\mathcal{T}$ is closed under kernels of epimorphisms and contains all projective objects in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , then $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}=\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{1}}$ .
Proof. We show the first statement of the lemma. The second statement follows from a dual argument.
(1) It is enough to show that ${^{\perp _{1}}\mathcal{T}} \subseteq{^{\perp _{\infty }}\mathcal{T}}$ . Let $X\in{^{\perp _{1}}\mathcal{T}}$ and $M\in \mathcal{T}$ , then we have an exact sequence $0\to M\to I_0\to I_1\to \cdots \to I_i \to \cdots$ with $I_i$ injective. Set $K_i=\mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits \!(I_i\to I_{i+1})$ . By assumption, both $I_i$ and $K_i$ are in $\mathcal{T}$ . So ${\textrm{Ext}}^i_{\mathcal{C}}(X,M)\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^1_{\mathcal{C}}(X,K_{i-1})=0$ for any $i\gt 1$ .
Now we consider the relation between $\mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(\mathcal{T})$ and $\mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X})$ .
Lemma 4.2. Assume that $\mathcal{T}$ is a subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . If there is an exact sequence $0\to L\to K_n\to \cdots \to K_1\to M\to 0$ in $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ with $K_i\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ , then there is an exact sequence $0\to U_n\to V_n\to L\to 0$ for some $U_n\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ , and some $V_n$ such that there is an exact sequence $0\to V_n\to T_n\to \cdots \to T_1\to M\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ .
Proof. The proof is modeled on [Reference Wei33, Lemma 3.5(1)]. We shall prove the statement by induction on $n$ . When $n=1$ , we have an exact sequence $0\to L\to K_1\to M\to 0$ with $K_1\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ . Thus, we have another exact sequence $0\to U_1\to T_1\to K_1\to 0$ with $T_1\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and $U_1\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ . Consider the following pull-back diagram
Then the middle row and left column in Diagram (4.1) are the desired exact sequences. Now assume that the conclusion is true for $n-1$ . We will show that the conclusion holds for $n$ . Set $L^{\prime}=\mathop{\textrm{Coker}}\nolimits \!(L\to K_n)$ . Then, by the induction assumption, there is an exact sequence $0\to U_{n-1}\to V_{n-1}\to L^{\prime}\to 0$ for some $U_{n-1}\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ , and some $V_{n-1}$ such that there is an exact sequence $0\to V_{n-1}\to T_{n-1}\to \cdots \to T_1\to M\to 0$ with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ . Then we can construct the following pullback diagram
Since $U_{n-1}, K_n\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ and $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ is closed under extensions by [Reference Enochs and Jenda11, Lemma 8.2.1], we get that $X\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ . Thus, there is an exact sequence $0\to U_n\to T_n\to X\to 0$ with $T_n \in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and $U_n\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ . Consider the following pull-back diagram
Now the left column in Diagram (4.3) is the desired exact sequence.
Our main aim in this section is to show that the following holds.
Theorem 4.3. Suppose that $\mathcal{T}$ is a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ with $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})\leqslant n$ . Then the following statements hold.
-
(1) $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ is a hereditary and complete cotorsion pair.
-
(2) $\mathop{\textrm{pdim}}\nolimits \!(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}))\leqslant n$ .
-
(3) $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})\cap \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}=\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ .
Proof. (1) Since $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ is closed under cokernels of monomorphisms and contains all injective objects, it follows from Lemma 4.1(1) that $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})=^{\perp _{1}}$ $({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})$ . On the other hand, since $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})$ is closed under kernels of epimorphisms and contains all projective objects, we have $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}))^{\perp _1}=(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}))^{\perp _{\infty }}$ Lemma 4.1(2). Thus, $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}))^{\perp _1}=\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . Hence, $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ forms a hereditary cotorsion pair. For each $T\in \mathcal{T}$ , by assumption, there is a projective resolution $0\to P_n(T)\to \cdots \to P_1(T)\to P_0(T)\to T\to 0$ . Set $K_i(T)={\textrm{Im}} (P_{i}(T)\to P_{i-1}(T))$ for $1\leqslant i\leqslant n$ and $\mathcal{X}=\{K_i(T)\mid T\in \mathcal{T}\}\cup \mathcal{T}$ . Obviously, $\mathcal{X}$ is a set and $\mathcal{X}^{\perp _1}=\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . It implies that $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ is generated by a set $\mathcal{X}$ . We conclude by [Reference Holm and Jørgensen16] that $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ is a complete cotorsion pair.
(2) Let $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , there is an exact sequence $0\to M\to I_0\to I_1\to \cdots \to I_{n-1}\to K\to 0$ with $I_i$ injective. Then $I_i\in$ $_{\mathcal{T}}\mathcal{X}$ by Proposition 3.1. Thus, $K\in \mathop{\textrm{Gen}}\nolimits _n\!(\mathcal{T})$ by Lemma 4.2. It follows from Proposition 3.1 again that $K\in \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . Given $X\in$ $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})$ , we know that ${\textrm{Ext}}^{i+n}_{\mathcal{C}}(X,M)\cong{\textrm{Ext}}^{i}_{\mathcal{C}}(X,K)=0$ for any $i\geqslant 1$ . Therefore, the result holds.
(3) $\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})\subseteq$ $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})\cap \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ is trivial. Conversely, let $M\in$ $ ^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})\cap \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ , then there is an exact sequence $0\to K\to T\to M\to 0$ with $T\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ and $K\in \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ by Proposition 3.1. So the sequence splits, which implies that $M\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ .
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category. A complex $A=(A_n, d_n^A)$ is a sequence $\cdots \to A_{n+1}\stackrel{d_{n+1}^A}{\longrightarrow } A_n\stackrel{d_{n}^A}{\longrightarrow } A_{n-1}\to \cdots$ with $A_n\in \mathcal{A}$ and $d_n\in{\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{A}}(A_n,A_{n-1})$ satisfying $d_n^A d_{n+1}^A=0$ for any $n\in$ $\mathbb{Z}$ . We denote by $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ the category of complexes. A morphism $f\,:\,X\to Y$ is said to be a quasi-isomorphism if the induced morphism $\mathop{\textrm{H}}\nolimits \!(f)\,:\, \mathop{\textrm{H}}\nolimits \!(X)\to \mathop{\textrm{H}}\nolimits \!(Y)$ is an isomorphism. Given a complex $A=(A_n, d_n^A)$ , the suspension of $A$ , denoted $\Sigma A$ , is the complex given by $(\Sigma A)_n=A_{n-1}$ and $d^{\Sigma A}_n=-d_{n-1}^A$ . For complexes $X$ and $Y$ , we define the homomorphism complex ${\textrm{Hom}}(X,Y)\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ to be the complex
where $(\delta _nf)=d_{k+n}^Yf_k-({-}1)^nf_{k-1}d_k^X$ . We let ${\textrm{Ext}}_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}^1(Y,X)$ to be the group of (equivalence classes) of short exact sequences $0\to X\to Z\to Y\to 0$ in $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ . Recall that a morphism $f\,:\, X\to Y$ of complexes is called null-homotopic if there exists $s_n\in{\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{A}}(X_{n-1},Y_n)$ such that $f_n=d^Y_{n+1}s_{n+1}+s_nd^X_n$ for each $n\in$ $\mathbb{Z}$ . For morphisms $f,g\,:\, X\to Y$ in $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ , we denote $f\thicksim g$ if $f-g$ is null-homotopic. We denote by $\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ the homotopic category, that is, the category consisting of complexes such that the morphism set between $X,Y\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ is given by ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(X,Y)={\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(X,Y)/\thicksim$ . Furthermore, there is a corresponding derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ , which is also triangulated.
In order to obtain an abelian model structure, we have to introduce the following classes in $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ .
Definition 4.4. ([Reference Gillespie12]). Let $(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B})$ be a cotorsion pair on an abelian category $\mathcal{C}$ . Let $X$ be a complex.
-
(1) $X$ is called an $\mathcal{A}$ complex if it is exact and $Z_n(X)\in \mathcal{A}$ for all $n$ .
-
(2) $X$ is called a $\mathcal{B}$ complex if it is exact and $Z_n(X)\in \mathcal{B}$ for all $n$ .
-
(3) $X$ is called a $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ complex if $X_n\in \mathcal{A}$ for each $n$ , and ${\textrm{Hom}}(X,B)$ is exact whenever $B$ is a $\mathcal{B}$ complex.
-
(4) $X$ is called a $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ complex if $X_n\in \mathcal{B}$ for each $n$ , and ${\textrm{Hom}}(A,X)$ is exact whenever $A$ is an $\mathcal{A}$ complex.
We denote the class of $\mathcal{A}$ complexes by $\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ and the class of $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ complexes by $dg\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ . Similarly, the class of $\mathcal{B}$ complexes is denoted by $\tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ and the class of $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ complexes is denoted by $dg\tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ .
Inspired by [Reference Bazzoni5, Theorem 2.5], we present the following theorem.
Theorem 4.5. Suppose that $\mathcal{T}$ is a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . Let $\mathcal{A}=$ $^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}})$ , $\mathcal{B}=\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . Then there is an abelian model structure on $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ given as follows:
-
(1) Weak equivalences are quasi-isomorphisms,
-
(2) Cofibrations (trivial cofibrations) consist of all the monomorphisms $f$ such that ${\textrm{Ext}}^1_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\mathop{\textrm{Coker}}\nolimits f,X)=0$ for any $X\in \tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ ( $\mathop{\textrm{Coker}}\nolimits f\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ ),
-
(3) Fibrations (trivial fibrations) consist of all the epimorphisms $g$ such that ${\textrm{Ext}}^1_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(X, \mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits g)=0$ for any $X\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ ( $\mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits g\in \tilde{\mathcal{B}})$ .
The homotopy category of this model category is $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ .
Proof. Since $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is a Grothendieck category, it is a bicomplete abelian category by [Reference Stenström30, Chapter V] and [Reference Martínez-Villa and Ortiz-Morales20, Section 1.2]. Because $(^{\perp _{\infty }}({\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}}),\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }})$ is a hereditary and complete cotorsion pair by Theorem 4.3, it follows from [Reference Yang and Ding34, Theorem 2.4] that there are two induced complete cotorsion pairs ( $\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ , $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ ) and ( $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ , $\tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ ). So we claim that $X\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ if and only if ${\textrm{Ext}}^1_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(X,B)=0$ for any $B\in \tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ and $Y\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ if and only if ${\textrm{Ext}}^1_{\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(A, Y)=0$ for any $A\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ .
Next, we know from [Reference Gillespie13, Corollary 3.8] that there is an abelian model structure on $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ . Furthermore, weak equivalences, cofibrantions, and fibrations are described exactly as in the statements. Observe that exact $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ complexes are exactly $\mathcal{A}$ complexes by [Reference Yang and Ding34, Theorem 2.5]. In particular, $f\,:\,M\to N$ is a trivial cofibration if and only if there is an exact sequence $0 \to M\stackrel{f}{\longrightarrow } N\to L\to 0$ such that $f$ is a quasi-isomorphism and $\mathop{\textrm{Coker}}\nolimits f\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ if and only if there is an exact sequence $0 \to M\stackrel{f}{\longrightarrow } N\to L\to 0$ such that $L\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ . The case for trivial fibrations can be shown similarly. The last statement follows from [Reference Gillespie14, Introduction].
According to [Reference Hovey17, Reference Hovey18], suppose that an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ has a model structure, $X$ is trivial if $0\to X$ is a weak equivalence, $X$ is cofibrant if $0\to X$ is a cofibration and $X$ is fibrant if $X\to 0$ is a fibration.
Corollary 4.6. In the notations of Theorem 4.5, then we have the following statements.
-
(1) $X$ is trivial if and only if $X$ is exact.
-
(2) $C$ is a cofibrant if and only if $C\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ .
-
(3) $F$ is a fibrant if and only if $F\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ if and only if $F$ has all the terms in $\mathcal{B}$ .
Proof. (1), (2) and the first equivalence of (3) follow from Theorem 4.5 easily. We only need to show that $F\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ if and only if $F$ all the terms in $\mathcal{B}$ . If $F\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ , then $F$ has all the terms in $\mathcal{B}$ . Conversely, if $F$ has all the terms in $\mathcal{B}$ , since ( $\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ , $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ ) is a complete cotorsion pair by the proof of Theorem 4.5, there is an exact sequence $0\to F\to B\to A\to 0$ with $B\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ and $A\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ . The fact that the cotorsion pair ( $\mathcal{A}$ , $\mathcal{B}$ ) is hereditary implies that $A_n\in \mathcal{B}$ for each $n$ . For any $T\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\in \mathbb{Z}$ , since $T$ has finite projective dimension, we have that ${\textrm{Ext}}^{j\geqslant 1}_{\mathcal{C}}(T, Z_i(A))=0$ by dimension shifting. Thus, $A\in \tilde{\mathcal{B}}$ . Let $X\in \tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ . Since all components of $F$ are in $\mathcal{B}$ and all components of $X$ are in $\mathcal{A}$ , we deduce that the sequence $0\to{\textrm{Hom}}(X,F)\to{\textrm{Hom}}(X,B)\to{\textrm{Hom}}(X,A)\to 0$ is exact. Observe that $A\in \tilde{\mathcal{B}}\subseteq$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ and $B\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ . The complexes ${\textrm{Hom}}(X,B)$ and ${\textrm{Hom}}(X,A)$ are exact. So is ${\textrm{Hom}}(X,F)$ . Therefore, $F\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{B}$ .
Corollary 4.7. In the notations of Theorem 4.5, let $F$ be a complex with terms in $\mathcal{B}$ and let $C$ be cofibrant in the model structure induced by $\mathcal{T}$ . Then there is a natural isomorphism
In particular, this applies to the complexes $C$ bounded below and with terms in $\mathcal{A}$ .
Proof. We know by Corollary 4.6(3) that $F$ is a fibrant. Then it follows from [Reference Gillespie14] that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(C,F)\cong{\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(C,F)$ . In particular, if $C$ is a bounded below complex with terms in $\mathcal{A}$ , then $C\in$ $\mathop{\textrm{dg}}\nolimits$ - $\mathcal{A}$ by [Reference Gillespie12, Lemma 3.4(1)]. It implies that $C$ is a cofibrant by Corollary 4.6(2). So the equivalence also applies to $C$ .
5. A t-structure induced by a generalized tilting subcategory
In this section, we mainly show that there exists a t-structure on the derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , relating a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . For the sake of completeness, let us recall the definition of a t-structure.
Definition 5.1. ([Reference Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne7]). Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a triangulated category. A t-structure on $\mathcal{D}$ is a pair of full subcategories ( $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}$ , $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}$ ) with the following properties: write $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant n}=\Sigma ^{-n}\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}$ and $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant n}=\Sigma ^{-n}\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}$ for $n\in \mathbb{Z}$ .
-
(1) ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{D}}(X,Y)=0$ for all $X\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}$ and $Y\in \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 1}$ .
-
(2) $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}\subseteq \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 1}$ and $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}\supseteq \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 1}$ .
-
(3) For every object $Z\in \mathcal{D}$ there is a distinguished triangle $X\to Z\to Y\to \Sigma X$ with $X\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}$ and $Y\in \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 1}$ .
Notation 5.2. Suppose that $\mathcal{T}$ is a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ . For any $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ , we denote by $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ and $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ the full subcategories of $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ given by
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and $\mathcal{F}$ be a class of objects in $\mathcal{A}$ . Then a morphism $\varphi \,:\, F\to M$ of $\mathcal{A}$ is called an $\mathcal{F}$ -precover of $M$ if $F\in \mathcal{F}$ and ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{A}}(F^{\prime},F)\to{\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathcal{A}}(F^{\prime},M)\to 0$ is exact for all $F^{\prime}\in \mathcal{F}$ . If every object of $\mathcal{A}$ has an $\mathcal{F}$ -precover, $\mathcal{F}$ is said to be precovering [Reference Enochs and Jenda11]. Given $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ , we say that a complex $X\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits ^{[k,\infty ]}(\mathcal{F})$ if $X_i=0$ for $i\lt k$ and $X_i\in \mathcal{F}$ for $i\geqslant k$ .
Lemma 5.3. Suppose that $\mathcal{A}$ is an abelian category and $\mathcal{F}$ is a class of objects in $\mathcal{A}$ . If $\mathcal{F}$ is precovering, then for every complex $X$ in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ and every $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ , there is a chain map $f\,:\, F\to X$ with $F\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits ^{[k,\infty ]}(\mathcal{F})$ such that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(\Sigma ^iF,f)$ is an isomorphism for any $F\in \mathcal{F}$ and any $i\geqslant k$ .
Proof. Given a complex $X\,:\!=\, \cdots \to X_{n+1}\stackrel{d_{n+1}^X}{\longrightarrow } X_n\stackrel{d_{n}^X}{\longrightarrow } X_{n-1}\to \cdots$ with $X_n\in \mathcal{A}$ . We will inductively construct a chain map $f\,:\, X\to F$
such that $F_i\in \mathcal{F}$ for $i\geqslant 0$ . Consider an $\mathcal{F}$ -precover of $\mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits d_{k}^X$ , $F_k\stackrel{\varphi _k}{\longrightarrow } \mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits d_{k}^X$ , and let $f_k$ be the composition of $\varphi _k$ with the inclusion $\mathop{\textrm{Ker}}\nolimits d_{k}^X\to X_k$ . By induction construct $f_{i+1}\,:\, F_{i+1}\to X_{i+1}$ as follows. Having defined $f_{i}\,:\, F_{i}\to X_{i}$ and $d_{i}^F\,:\, F_i\to F_{i-1}$ . Let $\lambda _i\,:\, K_i\to F_i$ be the kernel of $d_{i}^F$ and let $g_i=f_i\lambda _i$ . Consider the pullback $P_{i+1}$ of the maps $g_i$ and $d_{i+1}^X$ . Let $\varphi _{i+1}\,:\,F_{i+1}\to P_{i+1}$ be an $\mathcal{F}$ -precover of $P_{i+1}$ and let $f_{i+1}$ be the obvious composition. All the maps used in the inductive step are depicted in the following diagram
where $d_{i+1}^F=\lambda _i \alpha _{i+1} \varphi _{i+1}$ . It is easy to see that $F$ is a complex with all terms in $\mathcal{F}$ and $f$ is a chain map between $F$ and $X$ . Now we claim that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(\Sigma ^iF^{\prime},X)=0$ for any $F^{\prime}\in \mathcal{F}$ and any $i\geqslant k$ . If $i\geqslant k$ , given a map $h\,:\, \Sigma ^iF^{\prime}\to X$ in $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ , our task is to prove that
(a) $h$ factors through $f\,:\, F \to X$ , and
(b) If $h$ is null-homotopic, so is any such factorization $t\,:\, \Sigma ^iF^{\prime}\to F$ .
Regarding (a), since $h$ is a chain map, $d_{i}^Xh_i=0$ . Using the pullback property of $P_{i}$ , we construct a map $\theta _{i}\,:\, F^{\prime}\to P_{i}$ such that $\beta _{i}\theta _{i}=h_{i}$ and $\alpha _{i}\theta _{i}=0$ . We can factor $\theta _{i}$ further through the $\mathcal{F}$ -precover $\varphi _{i}\,:\,F_{i}\to P_{i}$ to obtain a map $t_{i}\,:\, F^{\prime}\to F_{i}$ . Thus, $d_{i}^Ft_{i}=\lambda _{i-1} \alpha _{i} \varphi _{i}t_{i}=\lambda _{i-1} \alpha _{i}\theta _{i}=0$ . It means that $t\,:\, \Sigma ^iF^{\prime}\to F$ is a chain map. On the other hand, as $f_it_i=\beta _i\varphi _it_i=\beta _i\theta _i=h_i$ , we conclude that $h=ft$ .
Regarding (b), assume that $h$ is null-homotopic and $h=ft$ for some $t\,:\, \Sigma ^iF^{\prime}\to F$ in $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})$ , we will show that $t$ is also null-homotopic. Since $h$ is null-homotopic, there exists a map $s_{i+1}\,:\, F^{\prime}\to X_{i+1}$ such that $d_{i+1}^Xs_{i+1}=h_i$ . Note that $t$ is a chain map and $\lambda _i\,:\, K_i\to F_i$ is the kernel of $d_{i}^F$ . We get a map $\gamma _i\,:\, F^{\prime}\to K_i$ with $\lambda _i\gamma _i=t_i$ . Then $g_i\gamma _i=f_i\lambda _i\gamma _i=f_it_i=h_i=d_{i+1}^Xs_{i+1}$ . By the pullback property of $P_{i+1}$ , there is a map $\delta _{i+1}\,:\, F^{\prime}\to P_{i+1}$ such that $s_{i+1}=\beta _{i+1}\delta _{i+1}$ and $\gamma _i=\alpha _{i+1}\delta _{i+1}$ . We further factor $\delta _{i+1}$ through the $\mathcal{F}$ -precover $\varphi _{i+1}\,:\,F_{i+1}\to P_{i+1}$ to obtain a map $\eta _{i+1}\,:\, F^{\prime}\to F_{i+1}$ . Then $d_{i+1}^F\eta _{i+1}=\lambda _i \alpha _{i+1} \varphi _{i+1}\eta _{i+1}=\lambda _i \alpha _{i+1}\delta _{i+1}=\lambda _i\gamma _i=t_i$ . So $t$ is null-homotopic, and we are done.
Next, we can give a description of the complexes in $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ .
Proposition 5.4. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ , $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ as in Notation 5.2. For a complex in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , the following statements are equivalent.
-
(1) $X\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ .
-
(2) $X$ is isomorphic in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ to a complex $B$ of the form
\begin{equation*}\cdots \to B_{k+2}\to B_{k+1}\to B_{k}\to 0\to \cdots\end{equation*}with $B_i\in \mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ for every $i\geqslant k$ . -
(3) $X$ is isomorphic in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ to a complex $T$ as in (2), but with $T_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for every $i\geqslant k$ .
Proof. (3) $\Rightarrow$ (2) is obvious.
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1) For any $T\in \mathcal{T}$ and $i\lt k$ , we have that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,X)={\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,B)$ $={\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,B)=\mathop{\textrm{H}}\nolimits _i{\textrm{Hom}}(T,B)=0$ by Corollary 4.7. So $X\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}}$ .
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (3) Every complex $X$ has a fibrant replacement in the model structure defined by the generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ , by Corollary 4.6 we can assume that $X$ has terms in $\mathcal{B}$ . It follows from Proposition 3.1 that every term of $X$ has an $\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ -precover. Then by Lemma 5.3 there is a chain map $f\,:\, T\to X$ with $T\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits ^{[k,\infty ]}(\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T}))$ and ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},f)$ is an isomorphism for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\geqslant k$ . For $i\lt k$ . By assumption on $X$ we know that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},X)=0$ for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ . Note that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},T) =\mathop{\textrm{H}}\nolimits _i{\textrm{Hom}}(T^{\prime},T)=0$ for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ . Thus, we say that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{A})}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},f)$ is an isomorphism for any $i\in \mathbb{Z}$ . Let $\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f)$ be the mapping cone of $f$ . It is easy to see that $\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f)$ is a fibrant by Corollary 4.6(3). From the triangle $T\stackrel{f}{\longrightarrow } X\to \mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f) \to \Sigma T$ in $\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , we obtain ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f))=0$ for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\in \mathbb{Z}$ . Moreover, by Corollary 4.7, ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f))=0$ for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\in \mathbb{Z}$ . Because $\mathcal{T}$ satisfies the condition (3) of Definition 2.3, $\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f)=0$ in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ . Consequently, $f$ becomes an isomorphism in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ and $T$ satisfies (3).
Motivated by [Reference Bazzoni5, Theorem 3.5], we can assign a t-structure to a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ .
Theorem 5.5. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a generalized tilting subcategory of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ and $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ . Then $(\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}},\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}})$ forms a t-structure on the derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ .
Proof. We will show that $(\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}},\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}})$ is a t-structure, since it is routine to check that the shifted pair $(\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}},\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant k}_{\mathcal{T}})$ is also a t-structure. The proof follows the pattern of that of [Reference Šťovíček31, Theorem 4.5], but in a dual manner. By the definition of $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ and $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ , it is easy to verify that $\mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ (resp. $\mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ ) is closed under $\Sigma$ (resp. $\Sigma ^{-1}$ ). Thus, we only have to show the conditions (1) and (3) of Definition 5.1
In order to prove (1) of Definition 5.1, we assume that $X\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ and $Y\in \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 1}_{\mathcal{T}}$ . Let $X^{\prime}=\Sigma X$ and $Y=\Sigma ^{-1}Y^{\prime}$ for some $Y^{\prime}\in \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ . Then ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(X,Y)=0$ is equivalent to ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(X^{\prime},Y^{\prime})=0$ . In view of Proposition 5.4, $X^{\prime}$ has the form $\cdots \to X_2\to X_1\to 0\to \cdots$ with $X_i\in \mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T})$ for every $i\geqslant 1$ . For every $n \geqslant 1$ , we shall denote by $\tau _{\leqslant n}X^{\prime}$ the brutally truncated complex $\cdots 0\to X_n \to X_{n-1}\to \cdots \to X_1\to 0.$ As ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT^{\prime},Y^{\prime})=0$ for any $T^{\prime}\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\gt 0$ , by induction on $n$ , we know from the triangle $\tau _{\leqslant n-1}X^{\prime}\to \tau _{\leqslant n}X^{\prime}\to \Sigma ^{n}X_n \to \Sigma (\tau _{\leqslant n-1}X^{\prime})$ that ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\tau _{\leqslant n}X^{\prime},Y^{\prime})=0={\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma (\tau _{\leqslant n}X^{\prime}),Y^{\prime})$ for all $n\geqslant 1$ . Since $X^{\prime}=\lim \limits _{\longrightarrow }\tau _{\leqslant n}X^{\prime}$ , by [Reference Miyachi27, Proposition 11.7], there is a triangle in $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ of the form
Hence, ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(X^{\prime},Y^{\prime})=0$ .
Now we will prove (3) of Definition 5.1. Let $X\in \mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$ , in view of Corollary 4.6, we may assume that $X$ has all the terms in $\mathcal{T}^{\perp _{\infty }}$ . By Lemma 5.3, there is a chain map $f\,:\, F\to X$ with $F\in \mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits ^{[0,\infty ]}(\mathop{\textrm{Add}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{T}))$ and ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{K}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,f)$ is an isomorphism for any $T\in \mathcal{T}$ and any $i\geqslant 0$ . By Corollary 4.7, the same is true for ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,f)$ . Furthermore, it is straightforward to check that $F\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ . Let $\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f)$ be the mapping cone of $f$ , that is, we have a triangle
Then necessarily ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(\Sigma ^iT,\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f))=0$ for any $i\gt 0$ . Indeed, if we apply ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(T,\,\,\,\,)$ to (5.1), we get an exact sequence
Now $f^{\prime}$ is an isomorphism and ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(T,\Sigma F)=0$ since $F\in \mathcal{D}^{\leqslant 0}_{\mathcal{T}}$ . Thus, ${\textrm{Hom}}_{\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))}(T,\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f))=0$ . Hence, $\mathop{\textrm{Cone}}\nolimits \!(f)\in \mathcal{D}^{\geqslant 1}_{\mathcal{T}}$ .
