In this note, we introduce the notion of Gorenstein algebras. Let R be a commutative Gorenstein ring and A a noetherian R-algebra. We call A a Gorenstein R-algebra if A has Gorenstein dimension zero as an R-module (see [2]), add(D(AA)) = PA, where D = HomR(−, R), and Ap is projective as an Rpmodule for all p ∈ Spec R with dim Rp < dim R. Note that if dim R = ∞ then a Gorenstein R-algebra A is p...

Gorenstein rings are important to mathematical areas as diverse as algebraic geometry, where they encode information about singularities of spaces, and homotopy theory, through the concept of model categories. In consequence, the study of Gorenstein rings has led to the advent of a whole branch of homological algebra, known as Gorenstein homological algebra. This paper solves one of the open pr...

A semi-dualizing module over a commutative noetherian ringA is a finitely generated module C with RHomA(C,C) ≃ A in the derived category D(A). We show how each such module gives rise to three new homological dimensions which we call C–Gorenstein projective, C–Gorenstein injective, and C–Gorenstein flat dimension, and investigate the properties of these dimensions.

We prove versions of results of Foxby and Holm about modules of finite (Gorenstein) injective dimension and finite (Gorenstein) projective dimension with respect to a semidualizing module. We also verify two special cases of a question of Takahashi and White.

We prove that if a positively-graded ring R is Gorenstein and the associated torsion functor has finite cohomological dimension, then the corresponding noncommutative projective scheme Tails(R) is a Gorenstein category in the sense of [10]. Moreover, under this condition, a (right) recollement relating Gorensteininjective sheaves in Tails(R) and (graded) Gorenstein-injective R-modules is given.

In this paper, we prove that the global Gorenstein projective dimension of a ring R is equal to the global Gorenstein injective dimension of R, and that the global Gorenstein flat dimension of R is smaller than the common value of the terms of this equality.

An artin algebra is called CM-free provided that all its finitely generated Gorenstein projective modules are projective. We show that a connected artin algebra with radical square zero is either self-injective or CM-free. As a consequence, we prove that a connected artin algebra with radical square zero is Gorenstein if and only if its valued quiver is either an oriented cycle with the trivial...

The Gorenstein projective modules are proved to form a precovering class in the module category of a ring which has a dualizing complex. 0. Introduction This paper proves over a wide class of rings that the Gorenstein projective modules form a precovering class in the module category. Let me explain this statement. There are two terms of mystery, “Gorenstein projective modules” and “precovering...

In 1966, Auslander introduced the notion of the G-dimension of a finitely generated module over a Cohen-Macaulay noetherian ring and found the basic properties of these dimensions. His results were valid over a local Cohen-Macaulay ring admitting a dualizing module (also see Auslander and Bridger (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc., vol. 94, 1969)). Enochs and Jenda attempted to dualize the notion of G-dime...
