An extension of algebras is a homomorphism of algebras preserving identities. We use extensions of algebras to study the finitistic dimension conjecture over Artin algebras. Let $f: B \to A$ be an extension of Artin algebras. We denote by…

The finitistic dimension conjecture asserts that any finite-dimensional algebra over a field should have finite finitistic dimension. Recently, this conjecture is reduced to studying finitistic dimensions for extensions of algebras. In this…

Let $A$ be an Artin algebra. We investigate subalgebras of $A$ with certain conditions and obtain some classes of algebras whose finitistic dimensions are finite.

K. Igusa and G. Todorov introduced two functions $\phi$ and $\psi,$ which are natural and important homological measures generalising the notion of the projective dimension. These Igusa-Todorov functions have become into a powerful tool to…

In this article we prove that, under certain hypotheses, Morita context algebras that have zero bimodule morphisms have finite $\phi$-dimension. We also study the behaviour of the $\phi$-dimension for an algebra and its opposite. In…

We prove that the finitistic dimension conjecture, the Gorenstein Symmetry Conjecture, the Wakamatsu-tilting conjecture and the generalized Nakayama conjecture hold for artin algebras which can be realized as endomorphism algebras of…

We show that the finitistic dimension conjecture holds for all finite dimensional algebras if and only if, for all finite dimensional algebras, the finitistic dimension of an algebra being finite implies that the finitistic dimension of its…

Let $A$ be an Artin algebra and $F$ a non-zero subfunctor of $\Ext_A^{1}(-,-)$. In this paper, we characterize the relative $\phi$-dimension of $A$ by the bi-functor $\Ext_F^1(-,-)$. Furthermore, we show that the finiteness of relative…

We show that an artin algebra having at most three radical layers of infinite projective dimension has finite finitistic dimension, generalizing the known result for algebras with vanishing radical cube.

We prove that if $B\subseteq A$ is an extension of finite dimensional algebras such that the projective dimension of $A/B$ as a $B$-bimodule is finite, if $A$ has finite finitistic dimension, then so does $B$. We exhibit examples…

It is shown that the derived dimension of any representation-finite Artin algebra is at most one.

Let $R$ be a finite dimensional $k$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $\mathrm{mod} R$ be the category of all finitely generated left $R$-modules. For a given full subcategory $\mathcal{X}$ of $\mathrm{mod} R,$ we denote by…

The finitistic dimension conjecture is closely connected to the symmetry of the finitistic dimension. Recent work indicates that such connection extends to one of its upper bounds, the delooping level. In this paper, we show that the same…

The finitistic dimension of a triangulated category is introduced. For the category of perfect complexes over a ring it is shown that this dimension is finite if and only if the small finitistic dimension of the ring is finite.

It is a well-known result of Auslander and Reiten that contravariant finiteness of the class $\mathcal{P}^{\mathrm{fin}}_\infty$ (of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension) over an Artin algebra is a sufficient condition…

K. Igusa and G. Todorov introduced the $\varphi$ function which generalizes the notion of projective dimension. We study the behavior of the $\varphi$ function for cyclic Nakayama algebras of infinite global dimension. We prove that the…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with $0 < \phi dim (A) = m < \infty$ we prove that there always exist modules $M$ and $N$ such that $\phi(M) = m-1$ and $\phi (N) = 1$. On the other hand, we see an example of an algebra that not every…

We introduce the finitistic extension degree of a ring and investigate rings for which it is finite. The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture is proved for rings of finite finitistic extension degree and these rings are also shown to have finite…

In this article we obtain lower and upper bounds for global dimensions of a class of artinian algebras in terms of global dimensions of a finite subset of their artinian subalgebras. Finding these bounds for the global dimension of an…

The notion of Igusa-Todorov classes is introduced in connection with the finitistic dimension conjecture. As application we consider conditions on special ideals which imply the Igusa-Todorov and other finiteness conditions on modules…
