Higher dualizability and singly-generated Grothendieck categories

Injective modules, self-injective associative rings (16D50) Endomorphism rings; matrix rings (16S50) Categories admitting limits (complete categories), functors preserving limits, completions (18A35) Limits and colimits (products, sums, directed limits, pushouts, fiber products, equalizers, kernels, ends and coends, etc.) (18A30) Accessible and locally presentable categories (18C35) 2-categories, bicategories, double categories (18N10)

Abstract: Let

k

be a field. We show that locally presentable,

k

-linear categories

m a t h c a l C

dualizable in the sense that the identity functor can be recovered as

c o p r o d_{i} x_{i} o t i m e s f_{i}

for objects

x_{i} i n m a t h c a l C

and left adjoints

f_{i}

from

m a t h c a l C

to

m a t h r m {V e c t}_{k}

are products of copies of

m a t h r m {V e c t}_{k}

. This partially confirms a conjecture by Brandenburg, the author and T. Johnson-Freyd. Motivated by this, we also characterize the Grothendieck categories containing an object

x

with the property that every object is a copower of

x

: they are precisely the categories of non-singular injective right modules over simple, regular, right self-injective rings of type I or III.
