Morphisms determined by objects under Galois \(G\)-covering theory (Q2685354)

The theory of morphisms being determined by objects was originally investigated by Auslander, and became a part of representation theory of algebras, especially Auslander-Reiten theory. It gives a conceptual explanation for irreducible morphisms and the existence of left and right almost split morphisms from the categorical point of view. It provides an approach to construct and organize morphisms in additive categories, generalizing previous work of Auslander and Reiten on almost split sequences. Using the theory of morphisms being determined by objects, Auslander provided a method to construct or classify morphisms in a fixed category, which is now called Auslander bijection. The authors study the behavior of morphisms determined by objects under \(G\)-coverings, generalizing Gabriel's Galois coverings [\textit{P. Gabriel}, Lect. Notes Math. 903, 68--105 (1981; Zbl 0481.16008)]. As an application, the authors reformulate that normal \(G\)-coverings preserve sink maps and source maps, and they also show that there is a \(G\)-covering between two relative stable categories, applying to the discussion on the existence of triangulated categories.
