Finitely cotilting modules (Q4953313)

We quote from the introduction: Tilting theory was introduced in the early eighties in the context of finitely generated modules over Artin algebras by Brenner-Butler and Happel-Ringel and since then it has played a central role in the development of the representation theory of Artin algebras. While the concept of a tilting module is now fairly well understood also for infinitely generated modules over arbitrary rings, the situation for cotilting modules seems to be more complex. In the paper under review, the authoress discusses the notion of cotilting modules having in mind an attempt to relate two different approaches to cotilting theory introduced by Colby on one hand and Colpi, D'Este and Tonolo on the other. Her definition coincides with Colby's definition when it is restricted to Morita rings and with the one given by Colpi, D'Este and Tonolo for finitely generated modules which are product complete. In the main result of this paper, the so-called Cotilting Theorem proved by Colby for the Noetherian case is extended to the setting considered here. It shows that the finitely cotilting modules correspond to pairs of dualities between certain categories consisting of finitely presented modules.
