Abstract: In this paper we introduce a generalization of the Nakayama functor for finite-dimensional algebras. This is obtained by abstracting its interaction with the forgetful functor to vector spaces. In particular, we characterize the Nakayama functor in terms of an ambidextrous adjunction of monads and comonads. In the second part we develop a theory of Gorenstein homological algebra for such Nakayama functor. We obtain analogues of several classical results for Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras. One of our main examples is the module category Lambdaext−operatornameMod of a k-algebra Lambda, where k is a commutative ring and Lambda is finitely generated projective as a k-module.


The author, first, generalizes the Nakayama functor into categories, lists properties, gives several examples, characterizes it in terms of monads and comonads (Theorem 3.3.3); and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Nakayama functor (Theorem 3.3.5). It also provides a tool (Corollary 3.3.2) to calculate the Nakayama functor and its adjoint. Second, he introduced the Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras in the context of Nakayama functors relative to endofunctors, and generalized some Chen results. Using the resolving and coresolving dimensions, \( P \) is Iwanaga-Gorenstein (Theorem 4.2.6) if, and only if, those dimensions are finite; and if that is so, they match. Finally, restricted to abelian categories, prove the existence of an adjoint pair with the Nakayama functor the evaluation (Theorem 5.3.3).
