Finiteness of homological dimensions in triangulated categories

Representation Theory 2026-04-14 v1 Category Theory

Abstract

In a general triangulated category, the finiteness of the finitistic dimension serves as a prerequisite for a categorical obstruction, via the singularity category, to the existence of bounded tt-structures. In this paper, we investigate the finitistic, big finitistic, and global dimensions, and establish explicit inequalities that relate these dimensions of the middle category in a recollement of triangulated categories to those of the outer categories. This provides a unified framework for extending some known results on the homological dimensions of ordinary rings to weakly approximable triangulated categories.
