    Recollements of abelian categories are well-known objects of study in representation theory and ring theory, where they are usually called torsion and torsion-free theories. They have also attracted more attention for their application to perverse sheaves due to \textit{R. MacPherson} and \textit{K. Vilonen} [Invent. Math. 84, 403--435 (1986; Zbl 0597.18005)]. The term recollement was originally coined in the study of triangulated categories by A. Beilinson, J. Bernstein and P. Deligne in their work [\textit{A. A. Beilinson} et al., Astérisque 100, 172 p. (1982; Zbl 0536.14011)]. Since there are several interesting homological invariants associated to abelian categories (e.g. the global dimension, the finitistic dimension, or the representation dimension), it is a natural question to analyze the relation of such invariants for each member of a recollement. These questions have already deserved some attention and some partial answers have been obtained. In this article, the author studies the behaviour of the global dimension (see for instance Theorems 4.1, 4.7 and 4.8), the finitistic dimension (see Theorems 5.1 and 5.5) and the representation dimension (see Theorems 6.1 and 6.2) for a recollement of abelian categories, and provides new relations for each of them, generalizing some of the existing results in the literature, in particular for the usual recollements of abelian categories appearing in ring theory (see Section 8). The author also considers the old question of when a recollement of abelian categories induces a recollement of the corresponding (bounded) derived categories (see Theorem 7.2, which is an improvement of a result by \textit{J.-i. Miyachi} [J. Algebra 141, No. 2, 463--483 (1991; Zbl 0739.18006)]) and in particular the relations concerning the Rouquier's dimension of the members of the latter recollement. The article is a good source where the author has compiled, organized but also generalized many of the results concerning recollements of abelian categories.
