The Frobenius category of Gorenstein-projective objects #

Let C be an abelian category. Its Gorenstein-projective objects are closed under extensions (CategoryTheory.isGorensteinProjective_isExtensionClosed), so they inherit the exact structure of C. This exact structure is Frobenius: complete resolutions give conflations Z⁻¹ ↪ P⁻¹ ↠ Z⁰ and Z⁰ ↪ P⁰ ↠ Z¹ with projective middle terms, and both the relative projectives and the relative injectives are exactly the objects which are projective in C. Projectives of C are relatively injective because a Gorenstein-projective object has no extensions by them.

Hence the stable category of Gorenstein-projective objects, the quotient by the morphisms factoring through projectives, is triangulated by Happel's theorem (TauCeti.ExactStructure.IsFrobenius.stablePretriangulated and TauCeti.ExactStructure.IsFrobenius.stableIsTriangulated). No hypothesis on C beyond being abelian is needed; in particular C need not have enough projectives.

The construction adapts the Frobenius exact structure on finitely generated Gorenstein-projective modules over a Noetherian ring in TauCeti/Algebra/Homology/GorensteinProjective/Frobenius.lean (TauCeti.GorensteinProjectiveModuleCat.exactStructure_isFrobenius): the full subcategory with its inherited exact structure, the conflations cut out of a complete resolution, and the identification of the relative projectives and injectives with the projective objects, here from totally acyclic complexes in an arbitrary abelian category.

      The conflations of Gorenstein-projective objects are the short exact sequences of C.

      @[simp]

      The relative projectives among Gorenstein-projective objects are the projective objects of C.

      @[simp]

      The relative injectives among Gorenstein-projective objects are also the projective objects of C, not the injective ones.

      Complete resolutions provide enough relative projectives.

      Complete resolutions provide enough relative injectives.

      Gorenstein-projective objects form a Frobenius exact category, whose projective-injective objects are the projective objects of C.

      A morphism of Gorenstein-projective objects factors through a relatively projective object exactly when it factors through a projective object of C.
