Homological dimensions for co-rank one idempotent subalgebras

Abstract: Let

k

be an algebraically closed field and

A

be a (left and right) Noetherian associative

k

-algebra. Assume further that

A

is either positively graded or semiperfect (this includes the class of finite dimensional

k

-algebras, and

k

-algebras that are finitely generated modules over a Noetherian central Henselian ring). Let

e

be a primitive idempotent of

A

, which we assume is of degree

0

if

A

is positively graded. We consider the idempotent subalgebra

G a m m a = (1 - e) A (1 - e)

and

S_{e}

the simple right

A

-module

S_{e} = e A / e m r a d A

, where

m r a d A

is the Jacobson radical of

A

, or the graded Jacobson radical of

A

if

A

is positively graded. In this paper, we relate the homological dimensions of

A

and

G a m m a

, using the homological properties of

S_{e}

. First, if

S_{e}

has no self-extensions of any degree, then the global dimension of

A

is finite if and only if that of

G a m m a

is. On the other hand, if the global dimensions of both

A

and

G a m m a

are finite, then

S_{e}

cannot have self-extensions of degree greater than one, provided

A / m r a d A

is finite dimensional.
