The Auslander-Reiten formula for complexes of modules. (Q855769)

The main aim of the paper is to extend the classical Auslander-Reiten formula [\textit{M. Auslander} and \textit{I. Reiten}, Commun. Algebra 3, 239-294 (1975; Zbl 0331.16027)] to a formula for complexes of modules. The authors deal with the category \(\mathcal K(\text{Inj\,}\Lambda)\) of complexes of injective \(\Lambda\)-modules up to homotopy, where \(\Lambda\) is a Noetherian \(k\)-algebra, and \(k\) is a commutative Noetherian ring which is complete and local. An explicit description for the Auslander-Reiten translate of a complex is given. This is applied to describe Auslander-Reiten triangles in \(\mathcal K(\text{Inj\,}\Lambda)\). It is shown that almost split sequences in \(\text{Mod\,}\Lambda\) can be obtained from Auslander-Reiten triangles. As an application, a new method for computing almost split sequences in \(\text{Mod\,}\Lambda\) is presented. Another way for computing Auslander-Reiten triangles in \(\mathcal K(\text{Inj\,}\Lambda)\) is presented by using an adjoint for Happel's functor.
