Abstract

Let E{\mathcal E} be a Frobenius category, P{\mathcal P} its subcategory of projective objects and F:EEF:{\mathcal E} \to {\mathcal E} an exact automorphism. We prove that there is a fully faithful functor from the orbit category E/F{\mathcal E}/F into gpr(P/F)\operatorname{gpr}({\mathcal P}/F), the category of finitely-generated Gorenstein-projective modules over P/F{\mathcal P}/F. We give sufficient conditions to ensure that the essential image of E/F{\mathcal E}/F is an extension-closed subcategory of gpr(P/F)\operatorname{gpr}({\mathcal P}/F). If E{\mathcal E} is in addition Krull-Schmidt, we give sufficient conditions to ensure that the completed orbit category E  ⁣ ⁣/^F{\mathcal E} \ \widehat{\!\! /} F is a Krull-Schmidt Frobenius category. Finally, we apply our results on completed orbit categories to the context of Nakajima categories associated to Dynkin quivers and sketch applications to cluster algebras.
