Localization of triangulated categories and derived categories (Q1177274)

In this paper, the author considers triangulated categories and derived categories from the point of view of localization of abelian categories. The paper is organized as follows. Section 1 is dedicated to preliminaries. Sections 2-3 contain the localization of triangulated categories (there is also studied the relation between localization and stable \(t\)-structures). Section 4 contains a study related to quotients and localizations of derived categories of modules by using a module similar to tilting modules with finite projective dimension. In section 5 the author applies section 4 to the situation of module categories of finite dimensional algebras over a fixed field \(k\), and by calculating the Grothendieck groups he gives a bound to the number of nonisomorphic indecomposable modules which are direct summands of such a module. In the final section he considers relations between localization and idempotent ideals.
