Classifying exact categories via Wakamatsu tilting

Module categories in associative algebras (16D90) Representations of associative Artinian rings (16G10) Abelian categories, Grothendieck categories (18E10)

Abstract: Using the Morita-type embedding, we show that any exact category with enough projectives has a realization as a (pre)resolving subcategory of a module category. When the exact category has enough injectives, the image of the embedding can be described in terms of Wakamatsu tilting (=semi-dualizing) subcategories. If moreover the exact category has higher kernels, then its image coincides with the category naturally associated with a cotilting subcategory up to summands. We apply these results to the representation theory of artin algebras. In particular, we show that the ideal quotient of a module category by a functorially finite subcategory closed under submodules is a torsionfree class of some module category.

Review text

Exact categories were introduced by Quillen and became a fundamental mathematical object since then. The aim of this paper is to classify some exact categories. As the start point and also a key step, the author realized that we have a natural Morita-type embedding for a skeletally small exact category \(\mathcal{E}\) with enough projectives: \[ \mathbb{P}:\; \mathcal{E}\hookrightarrow \text{Mod } P. \] Using this embedding, the author proved that above \(\mathcal{E}\) can be realized as a resolving subcategory of a module category. In the next step the author considered that \(\mathcal{E}\) also has enough injectives and in this case the author proved that the image of \(\mathcal{E}\) can be described in terms of Wakamatsu tilting subcategories. Moreover, if \(\mathcal{E}\) has higher kernels, the the image coincides with the category naturally associated with a cotilting subcategory up to summands. The author also applied above results to study Artin algebras.
