Characterization of eventually periodic modules in the singularity categories (Q2154278)

A finitely generated module of infinite projective dimension is said to be eventually periodic if it has a (minimal) projective resolution which is periodic in high enough degrees. The following is the main result of the paper. {Main Result}. Let \(R\) be a left Artin ring. The following conditions are equivalent for a finitely generated \(R\)-module \(M\): \begin{itemize} \item[1.] \(M\) is eventually periodic. \item[2.] The projective dimension of \(M\) is infinite, and the Tate cohomology ring of \(M\) has an invertible homogeneous element of positive degree. \end{itemize} The author does not seem to be aware of the earlier work by \textit{C. T. C. Wall} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 39, 509--553 (1979; Zbl 0433.18006)]. It would be of interest to compare the two papers.
