The theory of \(L\)-complexes and weak liftings of complexes (Q1355506)

The notion of a weak lifting of a finite module is introduced and studied by \textit{M. Auslander}, \textit{S. Ding} and \textit{Ø. Solberg} [J. Algebra 156, No. 2, 273-317 (1993; Zbl 0778.13007)]. In this paper the author introduces the notion of an \(L\)-complex and studies lifting problems on \(L\)-complexes. Some conditions for a complex to be weakly liftable in terms of \(L\)-complexes are given. The author shows that the Maranda theorem holds for complexes, which generalizes some theorems of \textit{S. Ding} and \textit{Ø. Solberg} [Commun. Algebra 21, No. 4, 1161-1187 (1993; Zbl 0782.13019)]. In addition, the author shows how to construct the Eisenbud resolution for any given complex, and gives an application in the Cohen-Macaulay approximations, which can reproduce a result of \textit{S. Ding} [see J. Algebra 153, No. 2, 271-288 (1992; Zbl 0793.13009)]. The last part in this paper is devoted to studying the virtual projective dimension and the complexity for a complex. These invariants are defined for modules, but naturally generalized to any complexes. The author shows that Avramov's equality [see \textit{L. L. Avramov}, Invent. Math. 96, No. 1, 71-101 (1989; Zbl 0677.13004)] is valid also for any bounded complex, and gives the duality theorem on the virtual injective dimension.
