Relative singularity categories, Gorenstein objects and silting theory (Q1743016): Difference between revisions

In his pioneering work in the mid-1980s, Buchweitz established close connections between maximal Cohen-Macaulay (mCM) modules over a Gorenstein local ring \(R\), the category of exact projective complexes, and the Verdier quotient of the bounded derived category of \(R\) by the subcategory of perfect complexes. Those connections are multiple facets of the same basic phenomenon -- a duality for Cohen-Macaulay modules, effected by the dualizing module \(\omega\) of the ring. Under the above assumption that the ring be Gorenstein, \(\omega = R\). MCM modules are a particular case of the more general concept of Gorenstein projective module. Accordingly, this basic setup has been extended and generalized in several directions. The paper under review provides yet another generalization. Avoiding technical details, the basic setup is as follows. The starting point is a triangulated category (which generalizes the derived category above) with a presilting subcategory \(\omega\) (which generalizes the dualizing module). The latter gives rise to \(\omega\)-Gorenstein objects (which generalize mCM modules). These assumptions are sufficient to provide generalizations of above results.
