Representation dimension as a relative homological invariant of stable equivalence. (Q2642948)

The author mainly studies relationships between the relative homological dimensions with respect to a contravariantly finite subcategory of the module category of an Artin algebra \(A\) and the ones of another Artin algebra \(B\) such that \(A\) and \(B\) are stably equivalent. As a consequence of this investigation, the author re-proves a result of Guo: stable equivalences preserve representation dimension.
