Abstract

Let G\mathcal{G} be a Grothendieck category. We prove completeness of the Gorenstein injective cotorsion pair whenever G\mathcal{G} admits a set of Tate trivial generators, and show that having such generators is necessary for completeness. In this case it must be a perfect cotorsion pair, cogenerated by a set, and equivalent to an injective abelian model structure on G\mathcal{G}. Examples include Grothendieck categories (possibly without enough projectives) that admit a generating set consisting of objects of finite projective dimension, such as the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a quasi-compact and semi-separated scheme. More generally, for a given set S\mathcal{S}, we characterize the completeness of the Gorenstein B\mathcal{B}-injective cotorsion pair, where B=S\mathcal{B} = \mathcal{S}^\perp, in terms of the existence of a set of B\mathcal{B}-Tate trivial generators for G\mathcal{G}. The key ingredient to our proof is the fact that any class of the form B:=S\mathcal{B} :=\mathcal{S}^\perp is an accessibly embedded, accessible subcategory of G\mathcal{G}. The general approach allows for further applications such as the existence of Ding injective envelopes and other relative Gorenstein injective envelopes without imposing additional assumptions on G\mathcal{G}.
