Abstract

For a finite-dimensional algebra Λ\Lambda over an algebraically closed field KK, it is known that the poset of 22-term silting objects in Kb(projΛ)\mathrm{K}^b(\operatorname{proj}\Lambda) is isomorphic to the poset of functorially finite torsion classes in modΛ\operatorname{mod}\Lambda, and to that of complete cotorsion classes in K[1,0](projΛ)\mathrm{K}^{[-1,0]}(\operatorname{proj}\Lambda). In this work, we generalise this result to the case of dd-term silting objects for arbitrary d2d\geq 2 by introducing the notion of torsion classes for extriangulated categories. In particular, we show that the poset of dd-term silting objects in Kb(projΛ)\mathrm{K}^b(\operatorname{proj}\Lambda) is isomorphic to the poset of complete and hereditary cotorsion classes in K[d+1,0](projΛ)\mathrm{K}^{[-d+1,0]}(\operatorname{proj}\Lambda), and to that of positive and functorially finite torsion classes in D[d+2,0](modΛ)D^{[-d+2,0]}(\operatorname{mod}\Lambda), an extension-closed subcategory of Db(modΛ)D^b(\operatorname{mod}\Lambda). We further show that the posets cotorsK[d+1,0](projΛ)\operatorname{cotors}\mathrm{K}^{[-d+1,0]}(\operatorname{proj}\Lambda) and torsD[d+2,0](modΛ)\operatorname{tors} D^{[-d+2,0]}(\operatorname{mod}\Lambda) are lattices, and that the truncation functor τd+2\tau_{\geq -d+2} gives an isomorphism between the two.
