Quasi-Frobenius functors with application to corings

چکیده
Müller generalized in [12] the notion of a Frobenius extension to left (right) quasi-Frobenius extension and proved the endomorphism ring theorem for these extensions. Recently, Guo observed in [9] that for a ring homomorphism φ : R → S, the restriction of scalars functor has to induction functor S ⊗R − : RM → SM as right ”quasi” adjoint if and only if φ is a left quasi-Frobenius extension. In this paper we shall give a further generalization of the notion of quasi-Frobenius extension in a more general setting from the viewpoint of an adjoint triple of functors. Using the definition of quasi-strongly adjoint pair for module categories given by K. Morita [11], we introduce the notion of quasi-Frobenius triple of functors for Grothendieck categories. A triple of functors (L,F,R), where F : A → B has a left adjoint L : B → A and a right adjoint R : B → A is said to be quasi-Frobenius whenever the functors L andR are similar in sense functorial. In this case, the functor F is called quasi-Frobenius functor. F is a Frobenius functor in the case it has the same right and left adjoint, i.e., L ∼= R (cf. [5]). Clearly, the class of quasi-Frobenius functors include to the class of Frobenius functors. First we study basic properties of quasi-Frobenius functors for Grothendieck categories. This concept generalizes la notion of left quasi-Frobenius pair of functors given in Guo [9]. In Section 2 we give an easy and natural proof of the characterization of quasi-Frobenius functors between module categories. In particular, a bijective correspondence between quasi-Frobenius triple of functors is presented (in fact, a duality). Another interesting case is given by graded rings and modules and this is considered in Section 3. The notion of Frobenius extension for coalgebras over fields was

We investigate functors between abelian categories having a left adjoint and a right adjoint that are similar (these functors are called quasi-Frobenius functors). We introduce the notion of a quasi-Frobenius bimodule and give a characterization of these bimodules in terms of quasi-Frobenius functors. Some applications to corings and graded rings are presented. In particular, the concept of qua...
متن کاملCofrobenius Corings and Adjoint Functors
We study co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings over arbitrary base rings and over PF base rings in particular. We generalize some results about co-Frobenius and quasi-co-Frobenius coalgebras to the case of noncommutative base rings and give several new characterizations for co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings, some of them are new even in the coalgebr...

متن کاملOn quasi-Frobenius bimodules and corings
Frobenius bimodules are connected with Frobenius algebras and extensions. For instance, a ring extension φ : R → S is a Frobenius extension if and only if RSS is a Frobenius bimodule [1]. Brzeziński and Gómez-Torrecillas studied in [4] certain properties of comatrix corings in relation to properties of bimodules. In particular they showed that the comatrix coring [6] induced by any Frobenius bi...
متن کاملQuasi-co-frobenius Corings as Galois Comodules
We compare several quasi-Frobenius-type properties for corings that appeared recently in literature and provide several new characterizations for each of these properties. By applying the theory of Galois comodules with a firm coinvariant ring, we can characterize a locally quasi-Frobenius (quasi-co-Frobenius) coring as a locally projective generator in its category of comodules.
