We study the properties of rings satisfying Auslander-type conditions. If an artin algebra Λ satisfies the Auslander condition (that is, Λ is an ∞-Gorenstein artin algebra), then we construct two kinds of subcategories which form functorially finite cotorsion theories. Noetherian rings satisfying ‘Auslander-type conditions’ on self-injective resolutions can be regarded as certain non-commutativ...
