Homological dimensions in cotorsion pairs.

Abstract: Two classes

m a t h c a l A

and

m a t h c a l B

of modules over a ring

R

are said to form a cotorsion pair

(m a t h c a l A, m a t h c a l B)

if

m a t h c a l A = {m K e r E x t}_{R}^{1} (-, m a t h c a l B)

and

m a t h c a l B = {m K e r E x t}_{R}^{1} (m a t h c a l A, -)

. We investigate relative homological dimensions in cotorsion pairs. This can be applied to study the big and the little finitistic dimension of

R

. We show that

F i n d i m R < i n f t y

if and only if the following dimensions are finite for some cotorsion pair

(m a t h c a l A, m a t h c a l B)

in

m a t h r m M o d R

: the relative projective dimension of

A

with respect to itself, and the

m a t h c a l A

-resolution dimension of the category

m a t h c a l P

of all

R

-modules of finite projective dimension. Moreover, we obtain an analogous result for

f i n d i m R

, and we characterize when

F i n d i m R = f i n d i m R .
