Relative projectivity and the Green correspondence for complexes (Q2193228)

In this paper, the authors study a variation on the Green correspondence for categories of complexes, including homotopy categories and derived categories. Many previous variations of the Green correspondence have relied on the Krull-Schmidt property. To overcome this, the authors generalize [\textit{D. J. Benson} and \textit{W. W. Wheeler}, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 63, No. 1, 69--82 (2001; Zbl 1047.20010)] thereby providing axioms that ensure that induction and restriction give categorical equivalences. The main difficulty in applying these axioms is to show that the categories under consideration are idempotent complete, which is the substitute for the Krull-Schmidt property. Generally, this property holds whenever a triangulated category has infinite direct sums. The authors present a basic formula for deciding when categories of modules or complexes have a Green correspondence and they apply it to many examples. They show that in several cases the equivalence is an equivalence of triangulated categories, and in special cases it is an equivalence of tensor triangulated categories.
