Generalizing cotilting dualities (Q5929352)

Let \(R\) be a ring with identity. A right \(R\)-module \(U_R\) is said to be cotilting if \(\text{Cogen }U_R=\text{Ker Ext}^1_R(-,U_R)\) and it is quasi-cotilting if \(\text{Cogen }U_R\subseteq\text{Ker Ext}^1_R(-,U_R)\). A cotilting bimodule is a faithfully balanced bimodule which is cotilting on both sides. Partial cotilting modules due to Colpi, Tonolo and Trlifaj are quasi-cotilting modules. GMD bimodules in the sense of Colby and weakly cotilting bimodules in the sense of Tonolo are all quasi-cotilting bimodules. Cotilting bimodules give rise to a theory which naturally generalizes Morita duality. The author proves a theorem similar to the cotilting theorem [\textit{R. Colpi}, Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 210, 81-93 (2000; see the preceding review Zbl 0976.16009)] which holds in a more general setting. In particular, the author focuses on the construction of a natural morphism by giving rise to a duality between the torsion classes and moreover investigates the structure and the properties of the classes which are involved in the dualities described by the cotilting theorem.
