Ladders of recollements of abelian categories (Q2019287)

The notion of recollements for triangulated categories has been introduced, by Beilinson, Bernstein and Delign [\textit{A. A. Beilinson} et al., Astérisque 100, (1982; Zbl 0536.14011)], in order to stratify derived categories of sheaves and later adapted to abelian and derived categories. In these contexts they have been very useful in many homological problems. As stressed by the authors, the existence of a triangulated recollement often is difficult to establish but provides a strong tool while the existence of an abelian recollement often is easier to establish but in general it does not provide such a strong tool. The purpose of the paper is to consider abelian recollements with an additional data called ladders and so getting a more powerful tool. Three general problems are then addressed. We quote from the abstract: ``Ladders of a certain height allow to construct recollements of triangulated categories, involving derived categories and singularity categories, from abelian ones. Ladders also allow to tilt abelian recollements, and ladders guarantee that properties like Gorenstein projective or injective are preserved by some functors in abelian recollements.''
