Abstract
In (Adv. Math. 394, 108052, 2022) V. Gélinas introduced a homological invariant, called delooping level (dell), that bounds the finitistic dimension. In this article, we introduce another homological invariant (Dell) related to the delooping level for an Artin algebra. We compare this new tool with other dimensions as the finitistic dimension or the \(\varvec{\phi }\)-dimension (where \(\varvec{\phi }\) is the first Igusa-Todorov function), and we also generalize Theorem 4.3. from Gélinas (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 149(12), 5001–5012, 2021) to truncated path algebras (Theorem 4.18). Finally, we show that for a monomial algebra \(\varvec{A}\) the difference \(\text{ dell }\varvec{(A)} \varvec{-} \text{ Findim }\varvec{(A)}\) can be arbitrarily large (Example 4.22).
期刊介绍:
Algebras and Representation Theory features carefully refereed papers relating, in its broadest sense, to the structure and representation theory of algebras, including Lie algebras and superalgebras, rings of differential operators, group rings and algebras, C*-algebras and Hopf algebras, with particular emphasis on quantum groups.
The journal contains high level, significant and original research papers, as well as expository survey papers written by specialists who present the state-of-the-art of well-defined subjects or subdomains. Occasionally, special issues on specific subjects are published as well, the latter allowing specialists and non-specialists to quickly get acquainted with new developments and topics within the field of rings, algebras and their applications.
