Nakayama functors on proper abelian subcategories

Abstract

We construct Nakayama functors on proper abelian subcategories of triangulated categories with a Serre functor using approximation theory. This, in turn, allows for the construction of Auslander-Reiten translates. As a result, we prove that suitable proper abelian subcategories are dualising kk-varieties and have enough projectives if and only if they have enough injectives. As an application, we provide a new proof of the existence of Auslander-Reiten sequences in the category of finite dimensional modules over a finite dimensional algebra.
