The category of F-modules has finite global dimension

Abstract

Let R be a regular ring of characteristic p. Hochster showed that the category of Lyubeznik's F-modules has enough injectives, so that every F-module has an injective resolution in this category. We show that under mild conditions on R, for example when R is essentially of finite type over an F-finite regular local ring, the category of F-modules has finite global dimension d+1 where d=dimR. We also give examples to show that for F-finite F-modules, \ExtFR1(M,N)\Ext_{F_R}^1(M,N) need not be finite.
