Applications of stratifying systems to the finitistic dimension. (Q819802)

The authors study stratifying systems, Ext-injective stratifying systems and Ext-projective stratifying systems. One of the interesting results in the paper is that the authors establish a relationship between an Ext-injective stratifying system (with certain condition on projective dimension) and the finitistic dimension, and therefore find a bound for the finitistic dimensions of algebras which have a standard stratifying system. As a direct consequence of their considerations, the authors prove some of the results in the literature by their own methods. For example, the following result which was shown by \textit{I. Ágoston, D. Happel, E. Lukács} and \textit{L. Unger} [Commun. Algebra 28, No. 6, 2745-2752 (2000; Zbl 0964.16005)]: if \(A\) is a standardly stratified algebra then the finitistic dimension of \(A\) is bounded above by \(2n-2\) where \(n\) is the number of non-isomorphic simple modules over \(A\).
