Auslander's formula and correspondence for exact categories

Representation Theory 2024-08-02 v2

Abstract

The Auslander correspondence is a fundamental result in Auslander-Reiten theory. In this paper we introduce the category modadm(E)\operatorname{mod_{\mathsf{adm}}}(\mathcal{E}) of admissibly finitely presented functors and use it to give a version of Auslander correspondence for any exact category E\mathcal{E}. An important ingredient in the proof is the localization theory of exact categories. We also investigate how properties of E\mathcal{E} are reflected in modadm(E)\operatorname{mod_{\mathsf{adm}}}(\mathcal{E}), for example being (weakly) idempotent complete or having enough projectives or injectives. Furthermore, we describe modadm(E)\operatorname{mod_{\mathsf{adm}}}(\mathcal{E}) as a subcategory of mod(E)\operatorname{mod}(\mathcal{E}) when E\mathcal{E} is a resolving subcategory of an abelian category. This includes the category of Gorenstein projective modules and the category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules as special cases. Finally, we use modadm(E)\operatorname{mod_{\mathsf{adm}}}(\mathcal{E}) to give a bijection between exact structures on an idempotent complete additive category C\mathcal{C} and certain resolving subcategories of mod(C)\operatorname{mod}(\mathcal{C}).
