Classifying exact categories via Wakamatsu tilting (Q2357508)

Exact categories were introduced by Quillen and became a fundamental mathematical object since then. The aim of this paper is to classify some exact categories. As the start point and also a key step, the author realized that we have a natural Morita-type embedding for a skeletally small exact category \(\mathcal{E}\) with enough projectives: \[ \mathbb{P}:\; \mathcal{E}\hookrightarrow \text{Mod } P. \] Using this embedding, the author proved that above \(\mathcal{E}\) can be realized as a resolving subcategory of a module category. In the next step the author considered that \(\mathcal{E}\) also has enough injectives and in this case the author proved that the image of \(\mathcal{E}\) can be described in terms of Wakamatsu tilting subcategories. Moreover, if \(\mathcal{E}\) has higher kernels, the the image coincides with the category naturally associated with a cotilting subcategory up to summands. The author also applied above results to study Artin algebras.
