Wakamatsu Tilting Modules, $U$-Dominant Dimension and $k$-Gorenstein Modules

Let $\Lambda$ and $\Gamma$ be left and right noetherian rings and $_{\Lambda}U$ a Wakamatsu tilting module with $\Gamma ={\rm End}(_{\Lambda}T)$. We introduce a new definition of $U$-dominant dimensions and show that the $U$-dominant dimensions of $_{\Lambda}U$ and $U_{\Gamma}$ are identical. We characterize $k$-Gorenstein modules in terms of homological dimensions and the property of double homological functors preserving monomorphisms. We also study a generalization of $k$-Gorenstein modules, and characterize it in terms of some similar properties of $k$-Gorenstein modules.
