Gorenstein versions of covering techniques for linear categories and their applications (Q2636370)

The authors first provide \(G\)-precoverings of bounded derived categories, singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories. They then prove a Gorenstein version of Gabriel's Theorem, that is subsequently used to investigate the number of summands in a decomposition of the middle term of almost split sequences over monomial algebras. In particular, they prove that a \(G\)-covering of categories induces \(G\)-precoverings in levels of bounded homotopy categories, singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories. Using this, a relation between finiteness of Gorenstein projective dimension of finitely generated \(\mathcal{C}\)-modules and \(\mathcal{C}/G\)-modules is provided. Given a locally support-finite algebra \(\Lambda\) and a finite subgroup \(G\) of Aut(\(\Lambda\)), they prove that \(\Lambda\) is Gorenstein if and only if \(\Lambda*G\) is such. Using a Gorenstein version of Gabriel's theorem, the authors show, in the last section, that \(\alpha(X) \leq 2\), for every non-projective module \(X\) in ind-(\(\mathcal{G}p\)-\(\Lambda\)), where \(\Lambda\) is a monomial algebra with locally support-finite universal covering and \(\alpha(X)\) is an invariant associated with the number of summands in a decomposition of \(X\) into a direct sum of ind-(\(\mathcal{G}p\)-\(\Lambda\)). In particular, if \(\Lambda\) is a quadratic monomial algebra, then \(\alpha(X) = 1\). The last section also provides some equivalences between singularity categories over monomial algebras and the product of singularity categories over their subalgebras.
