Abstract

Let U be a (B, A)-bimodule, A and B be rings, and be a formal triangular matrix ring. In this paper, we characterize the structure of relative Ding projective modules over T under some conditions. Furthermore, using the left global relative Ding projective dimensions of A and B, we estimate the relative Ding projective dimension of a left T-module.

1. Introduction

Let A and B be rings an U a ( B , A ) -bimodule, T = ( A 0 U B ) is called a formal

triangular matrix ring with usual matrix addition and multiplication. This kind of ring is useful in the representation theory of algebras and ring theory. It is typically used to create examples and counterexamples, which add more examples and concreteness to the theory of rings and modules. Many authors have studied T in several directions. For example, Zhang [1] specifically described the Artin triangular matrix algebra with Gorenstein projective modules. Enochs, Izurdiaga and Torrecillas [2] characterized Gorenstein projective and injective modules over a triangular matrix ring. Mao [3] studied Gorenstein flat modules over T and provided a left global Gorenstein flat dimension estimate of T. Besides, he [4] studied cotorsion pairs and approximation classes over T.

This paper aims at investigating relative Ding projective modules and relative Ding projective dimension over T. Following is the organization of this paper.

In Section 2, we present some terminology as well as preliminary results.

In Section 3, we describe relative Ding projective modules over T. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) T -Mod and U be Ding C-compatible. Then a left T-module M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M is D C -projective if and only if M 1 is D C 1 -projective, Coker φ M is D C 2 -projective, and φ M : U A M 1 M 2 is injective.

In Section 4, we estimate the D C -projective dimension of a left T-module and the left global D C -projective dimension of T. It is proved that, given a left T-module M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , if C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) , U is Ding C-compatible, A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing, and S D C 2 - P D ( B ) = sup { D C 2 - p d B ( U A D ) | D D C 1 P ( A ) } < , then:

max { D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) , ( D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) } D C - p d ( M ) max { ( D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ) + ( S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) + 1 , D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) } .

Consequently, we prove that,

max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } D C - P D ( T ) max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } .

So we establish a relationship between the relative Ding projective dimension of modules over T and modules over A and B.

All rings for this article are nonzero associative rings with identity, and all modules are unitary. Unless stated explicitly, all modules will serve as unital left R-modules. For a ring R, we write R-Mod (resp. Mod-R) for the category of left (resp. right) R-modules. For a left R-module C, we use AddR(C) (resp. addR(C)) to represent the class that contains all left R-modules that are isomorphic to direct summands of (resp. finite) direct sums of copies of C, and we use ProdR(C) to represent the class that contains all left R-modules that are isomorphic to direct summands of direct products of copies of C. P ( R ) and F ( R ) denote the classes of projective and flat left R-modules respectively. The character module Hom ( M , / ) of a module M is signed by M+.

Next, we will review some concepts and facts about formal triangular matrix rings. By [ [5] , Theorem 1.5], T-Mod corresponds to the category Ω, whose objects are triples M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , where M 1 A -Mod , M 2 B -Mod and φ M : U A M 1 M 2 is a B-morphism and whose morphisms from ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M to ( N 1 N 2 ) φ N are pairs ( f 1 f 2 ) such that f 1 Hom A ( M 1 , N 1 ) , f 2 Hom B ( M 2 , N 2 ) satisfying that the following diagram

is commutative. Given a triple M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M in Ω, there is an A-morphism φ M ˜ : M 1 Hom B ( U , M 2 ) given by φ M ˜ ( x ) ( u ) = φ M ( u x ) for each u U , and x M 1 .

It is worth noting that a sequence 0 ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M 0 of left T-modules is exact if and only if both the sequences 0 M 1 M 1 M 1 0 and 0 M 2 M 2 M 2 0 are exact.

Throughout this article, T = ( A 0 U B ) is a formal triangular matrix ring. Given a left T-module M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , the B-module Coker φ M is denoted as M ¯ 2 and the A-module ker φ M ˜ is denoted as M 1 _ .

Analogously, Mod-T is equivalent to the category Γ whose objects are triples W = ( W 1 , W 2 ) φ W , where W 1 Mod- A , W 2 Mod- B and φ W : W 2 B U W 1 is an A-morphism, and whose morphisms from ( W 1 , W 2 ) φ W to ( X 1 , X 2 ) φ X are pairs ( g 1 , g 2 ) such that g 1 Hom A ( W 1 , X 1 ) , g 2 Hom B ( W 2 , X 2 ) satisfying that the following diagram

is commutative.

Given such a triple W = ( W 1 , W 2 ) φ W in Γ, there is the B-morphism φ W ˜ : W 2 Hom A ( U , W 1 ) given by φ W ˜ ( y ) ( u ) = φ W ( y u ) for each u U , and y W 2 .

In the remaining sections of the paper, we will identify T-Mod (resp. Mod-T) with the category Ω (resp. Γ)

According to [2] , the following functors exist between the category T-Mod and the product category A -Mod × B -Mod :

1) p : A -Mod × B -Mod T -Mod is defined as follows: for each object ( M 1 , M 2 ) of A -Mod × B -Mod , let p ( M 1 , M 2 ) = ( M 1 ( U A M 1 ) M 2 ) with the obvious map and for any morphism ( f 1 , f 2 ) in A -Mod × B -Mod , let p ( f 1 , f 2 ) = ( f 1 ( 1 A f 1 ) f 2 ) .

2) h : A -Mod × B -Mod T -Mod is defined as follows: for each object ( M 1 , M 2 ) of A -Mod × B -Mod , let h ( M 1 , M 2 ) = ( M 1 Hom B ( U , M 2 ) M 2 ) with the obvious map and for any morphism ( f 1 , f 2 ) in A -Mod × B -Mod , let h ( f 1 , f 2 ) = ( f 1 Hom B ( U , f 2 ) f 2 ) .

3) q : T -Mod A -Mod × B -Mod is defined as follows: for each left T-module ( M 1 M 2 ) as q ( M 1 M 2 ) = ( M 1 , M 2 ) , and for each morphism ( f 1 f 2 ) in T-Mod as q ( f 1 f 2 ) = ( f 1 , f 2 ) .

Note that p is a left adjoint of q and h is a right adjoint of q . It is clear that q is exact. p , in particular, preserves projective objects, while h preserves injective objects.

Between the category Mod-T and the product category Mod- A × Mod- B , there are similar functors p , q , h .

Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M T -Mod . By [6] , M + = ( M 1 + , M 2 + ) φ M + is the character right T-module of M , where φ M + : M 2 + B U M 1 + is defined by φ M + ( f u ) ( x ) = f ( φ M ( u x ) ) for any f M 2 + , u U and x M 1 .

2. Preliminaries

Definition 2.1. ([ [7] , Definition 2.1]) A ( R , S ) -bimodule C is called semidualizing if the following conditions are satisfied:

1) R C and C S permit a degreewise finite projective resolution in the corresponding module categories.

2) The natural homothety morphisms R Hom S ( C , C ) and S Hom R ( C , C ) are ring isomorphisms.

3) Ext R 1 ( C , C ) = Ext S 1 ( C , C ) = 0 .

Definition 2.2. ([ [8] , Section 3]) A Wakamatsu tilting module is a left R-module R C satisfying the following properties:

1) R C permits a degreewise finite projective resolution.

2) Ext R 1 ( C , C ) = 0 .

3) There exists a Hom R ( , C ) -exact exact sequence of R-modules

X : 0 R C 0 C 1 ,

where C i add R ( C ) for every i .

By [ [8] , Corollary 3.2], R C S is semidualizing if and only if R C is a Wakamatsu tilting module with S End R ( C ) if and only if C S is a Wakamatsu tilting module with R End S ( C ) .

Definition 2.3. ([ [9] , Definition 3.1]) Let C , M R -Mod , M is said to be F C -flat if M + belongs to the class Prod R o p ( C + ) , and we will denote the class of all F C -flat modules as F C ( R ) .

When C = R , F C ( R ) = F ( R ) . Thus F ( R ) is a special case of F C ( R ) .

Remark 2.4. If R C S is semidualizing, then F C ( R ) = C S F ( S ) by [ [9] , Proposition 3.3].

Lemma 2.5. ([ [10] , Lemma 4]) Let X = ( X 1 X 2 ) φ X T -Mod and ( C 1 , C 2 ) A -Mod × B -Mod .

X Add T ( p ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) if and only if

1) X p ( X 1 , X 2 ¯ ) ;

2) X 1 Add A ( C 1 ) and X 2 ¯ Add B ( C 2 ) .

In this instance, φ X is injective.

Lemma 2.6. ([ [11] , Theorem 3.1]) Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M T -Mod . M P ( T ) if and only if M 1 P ( A ) , M 2 ¯ P ( B ) and φ M is injective.

Lemma 2.7. Let X = ( X 1 , X 2 ) φ X Mod- T and ( C 1 , C 2 ) A -Mod × B -Mod .

X Prod T o p ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) if and only if

1) X h ( X 1 , ker ( φ X ˜ ) ) ;

2) X 1 Prod A o p ( C 1 + ) and ker ( φ X ˜ ) Prod B o p ( C 2 + ) .

In this instance, φ X ˜ is surjective.

Proof. ” If X 1 Prod A o p ( C 1 + ) and ker ( φ X ˜ ) Prod B o p ( C 2 + ) , then X 1 ϒ 1 = ( C 1 + ) I 1 and ker ( φ X ˜ ) ϒ 2 = ( C 2 + ) I 2 for some ( ϒ 1 , ϒ 2 ) Mod- A × Mod- B and some sets I 1 and I 2 . Without loss of generality, we can assume that I = I 1 = I 2 . Then:

X h ( ϒ 1 , ϒ 2 ) h ( X 1 , ker ( φ X ˜ ) ) h ( ϒ 1 , ϒ 2 ) = ( X 1 , Hom A o p ( U , X 1 ) ker ( φ X ˜ ) ) ( ϒ 1 , Hom A o p ( U , ϒ 1 ) ϒ 2 ) = ( ( C 1 + ) I , Hom A o p ( U , ( C 1 + ) I ) ( C 2 + ) I ) ( ( C 1 + ) I , Hom A o p ( U , C 1 + ) I ( C 2 + ) I ) ( ( C 1 + ) I , ( ( U A C 1 ) + ) I ( C 2 + ) I ) = ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) I .

Hence, X Prod T o p ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) .

” Let X Prod T o p ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) and ϒ = ( ϒ 1 , ϒ 2 ) φ ϒ Mod- T such that X ϒ = ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) I for some set I. Then φ X ˜ is surjective as X is a submodule of ( p + ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) I and φ C + ˜ is surjective. Now, let C : = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) , there is an exact split sequence:

0 ϒ ( λ 1 , λ 2 ) ( C + ) I ( p 1 , p 2 ) X 0,

which induces the following commutative diagram with exact rows and columns:

where h , j , k are the canonical injections. Clearly, p 1 and p 1 * are split epimorphisms. Thus, X 1 Prod A o p ( C 1 + ) . Next, we prove that the short exact sequence:

0 ker ( φ X ˜ ) k X 2 φ X ˜ Hom A ( U , X 1 ) 0

splits. Let r be the retraction of p 1 * . If i : Hom A o p ( U , ( C 1 + ) I ) ( ( U A C 1 ) + ) I ( C 2 + ) I denotes the canonical injection by Hom A o p ( U , ( C 1 + ) ) ( U A C 1 ) + , then φ X ˜ p 2 i r = p 1 * φ C + ˜ i r = p 1 * r = 1 Hom A ( U , X 1 ) . Thus X 2 Hom A ( U , X 1 ) ker ( φ X ˜ ) and the first row is a split exact sequence too. So ker ( φ X ˜ ) Prod B o p ( C 2 + ) and X h ( X 1 , ker ( φ X ˜ ) )

Corollary 2.8. Let X = ( X 1 X 2 ) φ X T -Mod and ( C 1 , C 2 ) A -Mod × B -Mod .

If C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) , then X F C ( T ) if and only if

1) X + h ( X 1 + , X ¯ 2 + ) ;

2) X 1 F C 1 ( A ) and X ¯ 2 F C 2 ( B ) .

In this instance, φ X is injective.

Proof. X F C ( T ) if and only if X + = ( X 1 + , X 2 + ) φ X + Prod T o p ( C + ) if and only if X + h ( X 1 + , ker ( φ X + ˜ ) ) , X 1 + Prod A o p ( C 1 + ) , ker ( φ X + ˜ ) Prod B o p ( C 2 + ) by Lemma 2.7. Note that φ X + ˜ is surjective. Hence, φ X is injective. Then we get an exact sequence

0 U A X 1 φ X X 2 X ¯ 2 0.

Consider the commutative diagram with exact rows shown below.

Thus X ¯ 2 + ker ( φ X + ˜ ) Prod B o p ( C 2 + ) . So X F C ( T ) if and only if X + h ( X 1 + , X ¯ 2 + ) , X 1 F C 1 ( A ) and X ¯ 2 F C 2 ( B ) , and the proof is finished.

3. Relative Ding Projective Modules

This section will characterize relative Ding projective modules over a formal triangular matrix ring.

Definition 3.1 ([ [12] , Definition 1.1]) Let R C S be a semidualizing bimodule. A left R-module M is said to be D C -projective if there exists a Hom R ( , C S F ) -exact exact sequence in R-Mod:

P 1 P 0 A 0 A 1

with A i Add R ( C ) , P i P ( R ) for every i and F F ( S ) , such that M Im ( P 0 A 0 ) .

The class of all D C -projective R-modules is denoted by D C P ( R ) .

Note that if C = R , then D C -projective R-modules are Ding projective R-modules.

We introduce the following concept, which is critical to the rest of this study, inspired by the definition of C-compatible bimodule in [ [10] , Definition 4].

Definition 3.2. Let ( C 1 , C 2 ) A -Mod × B -Mod and C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) . A bimodule B U A is said to be Ding C-compatible if the following two conditions hold:

(a) The complex U A X 1 is exact for every exact sequence in A-Mod:

X 1 : P 1 1 P 1 0 A 1 0 A 1 1

with P 1 i P ( A ) and A 1 i Add A ( C 1 ) for every i .

(b) The complex Hom B ( X 2 , U A F C 1 ( A ) ) is exact for every Hom B ( , F C 2 ( B ) ) -exact exact sequence in B-Mod:

X 2 : P 2 1 P 2 0 A 2 0 A 2 1

with P 2 i P ( B ) and A 2 i Add B ( C 2 ) for every i .

Furthermore, U is said to be weakly Ding C-compatible if it meets (b) and the following condition:

(a') The complex U A X 1 is exact for every Hom A ( , F C 1 ( A ) ) -exact exact sequence in A-Mod:

X 1 : P 1 1 P 1 0 A 1 0 A 1 1

with P 1 i P ( A ) and A 1 i Add A ( C 1 ) for every i .

Proposition 3.3. Suppose that C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) be a left T-module and U be weakly Ding C-compatible. If A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing, then p ( C 1 , C 2 ) is semidualizing.

Proof. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. By [ [8] , Corollary 3.2], A C 1 and B C 2 are tilting. To prove C is tilting, the functor p preserves finitely generated modules by [13] . Then Ext A i 1 ( C 1 , C 1 ) = 0 and Ext B i 1 ( C 2 , C 2 ) = 0 . Observe that C 1 D C 1 P ( A ) and C 2 D C 2 P ( B ) by [ [12] , Proposition 1.8]. Since U satisfies (a'), Tor i 1 A ( U , C 1 ) = 0 . And, as U satisfies (b), Ext B i 1 ( C 2 , U A C 1 ) = 0 . For every n 1 , by [ [10] , Lemma 3], we get that:

Ext T n ( C , C ) = Ext T n ( p ( C 1 , C 2 ) , p ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) Ext A n ( C 1 , C 1 ) Ext B n ( C 2 , U A C 1 ) Ext B n ( C 2 , C 2 ) = 0.

Furthermore, there exist exact sequences:

X 1 : 0 A C 1 0 C 1 1 ,

and:

X 2 : 0 B C 2 0 C 2 1

which are Hom A ( , Add A ( C 1 ) ) -exact and Hom B ( , Add B ( C 1 ) ) -exact, respectively, and C 1 i add A ( C 1 ) , C 2 i add B ( C 2 ) , i . Note that every cokernel in X 1 and X 2 are finitely presented. Thus, Hom A ( X 1 , F C 1 ( A ) ) and Hom A ( X 2 , F C 2 ( B ) ) are exact. Since U is weakly Ding C-compatible, the complex U A X 1 is exact. As a result, we get the following exaxt sequence

p ( X 1 , X 2 ) : 0 T p ( C 1 0 , C 2 0 ) p ( C 1 1 , C 2 1 ) ,

with p ( C 1 i , C 2 i ) = ( C 1 i U A C 1 i C 2 i ) add T ( p ( C 1 , C 2 ) ) , i , by Lemma 2.5.

Let X Add T ( C ) , by Lemma 2.5, X p ( X 1 , X 2 ) where X 1 Add A ( C 1 ) and X 2 Add B ( C 2 ) . There is a complex isomorphism using adjointness ( p , q ):

Hom T ( p ( X 1 , X 2 ) , X ) Hom A ( X 1 , X 1 ) Hom B ( X 2 , U A X 1 ) Hom B ( X 2 , X 2 ) .

It should be noted that the complexes Hom A ( X 1 , X 1 ) and Hom B ( X 2 , X 2 ) , as well as the complex Hom B ( X 2 , U A X 1 ) are exact since U is weakly Ding C-compatible. Then Hom T ( p ( X 1 , X 2 ) , X ) is exact. So p ( C 1 , C 2 ) is semidualizing by [ [8] , Corollary 3.2].¨

Lemma 3.4. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) be a left T-module and U be weakly Ding C-compatible.

1) If M 1 D C 1 P ( A ) , then p ( M 1 ,0 ) D C P ( T ) .

2) If M 2 D C 2 P ( B ) , then p ( 0, M 2 ) D C P ( T ) .

Proof. By Proposition 3.3, the functor p preservers semidualizing. Thus C S F F C ( T ) by Remark 2.4.

1) Assume that M 1 D C 1 P ( A ) . There exists a Hom A ( , F C 1 ( A ) ) -exact exact sequence in A-Mod:

X 1 : P 1 1 P 1 0 C 1 0 C 1 1 ,

where P 1 i P ( A ) and C 1 i Add A ( C 1 ) i and M 1 Im ( P 1 0 C 1 0 ) . Since U is weakly Ding C-compatible, we have the complex U A X 1 is exact in B-Mod. So we get an exact sequence

p ( X 1 ,0 ) : ( P 1 1 U A P 1 1 ) ( P 1 0 U A P 1 0 ) ( C 1 0 U A C 1 0 ) ( C 1 1 U A C 1 1 )

with

( M 1 U A M 1 ) Im ( ( P 1 0 U A P 1 0 ) ( C 1 0 U A C 1 0 ) ) .

Clearly, p ( P 1 i ,0 ) = ( P 1 i U A P 1 i ) P ( T ) and p ( C 1 i ,0 ) = ( C 1 i U A C 1 i ) Add T ( C ) for every i by Lemmas 2.6 and 2.5.

If N = ( N 1 N 2 ) φ N F C ( T ) , then N 1 F C 1 ( A ) by Corollary 2.8. Then using the adjointness, we get that Hom T ( p ( X 1 ,0 ) , N ) Hom A ( X 1 , N 1 ) is exact. Thus ( M 1 U A M 1 ) is D C -projective.

2) Assume that M 2 D C 2 P ( B ) . There exists a Hom B ( , F C 2 ( B ) ) -exact exact sequence in B-Mod:

X 2 : P 2 1 P 2 0 C 2 0 C 2 1 ,

where P 2 i P ( B ) and C 2 i Add B ( C 2 ) i and M 2 Im ( P 2 0 C 2 0 ) . As a result, we have an exact sequence

p ( 0, X 2 ) : ( 0 P 2 1 ) ( 0 P 2 0 ) ( 0 C 2 0 ) ( 0 C 2 1 )

with ( 0 M 2 ) Im ( ( 0 P 2 0 ) ( 0 C 2 0 ) ) , p ( 0, P 2 i ) = ( 0 P 2 i ) P ( T ) and p ( 0, C 2 i ) = ( 0 C 2 i ) Add T ( C ) for every i by Lemmas 2.6 and 2.5 respectively. Let N = ( N 1 N 2 ) φ N F C ( T ) , then N 1 F C 1 ( A ) , N ¯ 2 F C 2 ( B ) and φ N is injective by Corollary 2.8. Thus we obtain a short exact sequence:

0 U A N 1 N 2 N ¯ 2 0.

Because U is weakly Ding C-compatible, P 2 1 P 2 0 M 2 0 is a Hom B ( , U A N 1 ) -exact exact sequence. Then Ext B 1 ( M 2 , U A N 1 ) = 0 . Consider a short exact sequence 0 M 2 C 2 0 L 0 with L Im ( M 2 C 2 0 ) is D C 2 -projective by [ [12] , Proposition 1.13]. Thus Ext B 1 ( L , U A N 1 ) = 0 , and then Ext B 1 ( C 2 0 , U A N 1 ) = 0 . Consequently, Ext B 1 ( C 2 i , U A N 1 ) = 0 . Then we obtain the exact sequence of complexes shown below.

0 Hom B ( X 2 , U A N 1 ) Hom B ( X 2 , N 2 ) Hom B ( X 2 , N ¯ 2 ) 0

As U is weakly Ding C-compatible, Hom B ( X 2 , U A N 1 ) is exact and Hom B ( X 2 , N ¯ 2 ) is exact. Thus Hom B ( X 2 , N 2 ) is exact. Then Hom T ( p ( 0, X 2 ) , N ) Hom B ( X 2 , N 2 ) is exact. Above all, p ( 0, M 2 ) D C P ( T ) .

Theorem 3.5. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) T -Mod and U be Ding C-compatible. Then the following statements are equivalent:

1) M is D C -projective.

2) φ M is injective, M 1 is D C 1 -projective and M ¯ 2 : = Coker φ M is D C 2 -projective.

In this instance, U A M 1 is D C 2 -projective if and only if M 2 is D C 2 -projective.

Proof. (1) (2) There exists a Hom T ( , F C ( T ) ) -exact exact sequence in T-Mod:

X = ( P 1 1 P 2 1 ) φ P 1 ( P 1 0 P 2 0 ) φ P 0 ( C 1 0 C 2 0 ) φ C 0 ( C 1 1 C 2 1 ) φ C 1 ,

where P i = ( P 1 i P 2 i ) φ P i P ( T ) and C i = ( C 1 i C 2 i ) φ C i Add T ( C ) i , and such that M Im ( P 0 C 0 ) . Then we get an exact sequence in A-Mod:

X 1 : P 1 1 P 1 0 C 1 0 C 1 1 ,

where P 1 i P ( A ) and C 1 i Add A ( C 1 ) i by Lemmas 2.6 and 2.5 and such that M 1 Im ( P 1 0 C 1 0 ) . As U is Ding C-compatible, the complex U A X 1 is exact with U A M 1 Im ( U A P 1 0 U A C 1 0 ) . Let l 1 : M 1 C 1 0 and l 2 : M 2 C 2 0 be the inclusions, then 1 U l 1 is injective. Consequently, the commutative diagram is as follows:

According to Lemma 2.5, φ C 0 is injective, then φ M will be as well. Furthermore, for every i , φ C i and φ P i are injective by Lemmas 2.5 and 2.6. The result is the commutative diagram with exact columns shown below.

Since the first and the second rows are exact in the above diagram, we get an exact sequence in B-Mod:

X ¯ 2 : P 2 1 ¯ P 2 0 ¯ C 2 0 ¯ C 2 1 ¯ ,

where P 2 i ¯ P ( B ) and C 2 i ¯ Add B ( C 2 ) for every i by Lemmas 2.6 and 2.5, and such that M ¯ 2 Im ( P 2 0 ¯ C 2 0 ¯ ) . Let N 1 F C 1 ( A ) and N 2 F C 2 ( B ) , then p ( N 1 ,0 ) F C ( T ) and p ( 0, N 2 ) F C ( T ) by Corollary 2.8. Then by using adjointness, Hom T ( X , p ( 0, N 2 ) ) Hom B ( X ¯ 2 , N 2 ) is exact. Thus, M ¯ 2 is D C 2 -projective. Note that C i p ( C 1 i , C 2 i ¯ ) by Lemma 2.5. Then Ext T 1 ( C i , ( 0 U A N 1 ) ) Ext B 1 ( C 2 i ¯ , U A N 1 ) = 0 by [ [10] , Lemma 3] and U is Ding C-compatible. As a result, when we apply the functor Hom T ( X , ) to the sequence:

0 ( 0 U A N 1 ) ( N 1 U A N 1 ) ( N 1 0 ) 0,

we get the exact sequence of complexes:

0 Hom T ( X , ( 0 U A N 1 ) ) Hom T ( X , ( N 1 U A N 1 ) ) Hom T ( X , ( N 1 0 ) ) 0.

By applying adjointness, we obtain that

Hom T ( X , ( 0 U A N 1 ) ) Hom B ( X ¯ 2 , U A N 1 )

and

Hom T ( X , ( N 1 0 ) ) Hom A ( X 1 , N 1 ) .

Note that Hom T ( X , ( N 1 U A N 1 ) ) is exact, and since U is Ding C-compatible, Hom B ( X ¯ 2 , U A N 1 ) is exact too. It implies that Hom A ( X 1 , N 1 ) is exact. So M 1 is D C 1 -projective.

2) 1) Because φ M is injective, an exact sequence exists in T-Mod:

0 ( M 1 U A M 1 ) M ( 0 M ¯ 2 ) 0.

By Theorem 3.5, ( M 1 U A M 1 ) and ( 0 M ¯ 2 ) are D C -projective T-modules. Hence, M is D C -projective according to [ [12] , Theorem 1.12]. Finally, there exists an exact sequence

0 U A M 1 φ M M 2 M ¯ 2 0.

Since M ¯ 2 is D C 2 -projective, U A M 1 is D C 2 -projective if and only if M 2 is D C 2 -projective by [ [12] , Theorem 2.12].

Corollary 3.6. Assume that R C 1 is semidualizing. Let R be a ring, T ( R ) = ( R 0 R R ) , C = p ( C 1 , C 1 ) and M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M be a left T ( R ) -module, then the following conditions are equivalent:

1) M is a D C -projective left T(R)-module.

2) M 1 and M ¯ 2 is D C 1 -projective, and φ M is injective.

3) M 1 and M 2 is D C 1 -projective, and φ M is injective.

Proof. It is an immediate consequence of Theorem 3.5.¨

4. Relative Ding Projective Dimension

This section aims to search in the D C -projective dimension of T-modules as well as the left D C -projective global dimension of T. We now recall [12] that the concept of relative Ding projective dimenion. The D C -projective dimension D C -pd(M) of a left R-module M is defined as inf{n| there there is an exact sequence

0 D n D 1 D 0 M 0

with D i D C P ( R ) for every i { 0, , n } . The left global D C -projective dimension of R is defined as: D C - P D ( R ) = sup { D C - p d ( M ) | M R -Mod } .

Lemma 4.1. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. Then the following statements hold.

1) D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) = D C - p d ( ( 0 M 2 ) ) .

2) D C 1 - p d ( M 2 ) D C - p d ( p ( M 1 ,0 ) ) , and the equality is true if Tor i 1 A ( U , M 1 ) = 0 .

Proof. 1) Consider the following exact sequence

0 K 2 n D 2 n 1 D 2 0 M 2 0

with D 2 i is D C 2 -projective. As a result, we have an exact sequence in T-Mod:

0 ( 0 K 2 n ) ( 0 D 2 n 1 ) ( 0 D 2 0 ) ( 0 M 2 ) 0

with ( 0 D 2 i ) D C -projective by Theorem 3.5. Furthermore, by Theorem 3.5, ( 0 K 2 n ) is D C -projective if and only if K 2 n is D C 1 -projective. This means that D C - p d ( ( 0 M 2 ) ) n if and only if D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) n by [ [12] , Theorem 2.4].

2) We may assume that D C - p d ( ( M 1 U A M 1 ) ) = m < . There exists an exact sequence in T-Mod:

0 D m D m 1 D 0 ( M 1 U A M 1 ) 0

with D i = ( D 1 i D 2 i ) φ D i D C P ( T ) . Then there is an exact sequence

0 D 1 m D 1 m 1 D 1 0 M 1 0

with D 1 i D C 1 P ( A ) by Theorem 3.5. Thus D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) m .

In contrast, we demonstrate that D C - p d ( ( M 1 U A M 1 ) ) D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) when Tor i 1 A ( U , M 1 ) = 0 . We may assume that D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) = m < . So there is an exact sequence

X 1 : 0 K 1 m P 1 m 1 P 1 0 M 1 0

with P 1 i P ( A ) . As a result, the complex U X 1 is exact and each P 1 i is D C 1 -projective by [ [12] , Proposition 1.8], and then, K 1 m is D C 1 -projective by [ [12] , Theorem 2.4]. So there is an exact sequence

0 ( K 1 m U A K 1 m ) ( P 1 m 1 U A P 1 m 1 ) ( P 1 0 U A P 1 0 ) ( M 1 U A M 1 ) 0.

We obtain that ( K 1 m U A K 1 m ) and all ( P 1 i U A P 1 i ) are D C -projective by Theorem 3.5. Thus we get D C - p d ( ( M 1 U A M 1 ) ) m = D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) .

Inspired by the strong notion of the G C 2 -projective global dimension of B in [10] for estimating the G C -projective dimension of a T-module and the left global G C -projective dimension of T, we give the strong notion of the D C 2 -projective global dimension of B. Set: S D C 2 - P D ( B ) = sup { D C 2 - p d B ( U A D ) | D D C 1 P ( A ) } .

Theorem 4.2. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. If M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M be a left T-module and S D C 2 - P D ( B ) < , then:

max { D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) , ( D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) } D C - p d ( M ) max { ( D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ) + ( S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) + 1 , D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) } .

Proof. Let k : = S D C 2 - P D ( B ) . Firstly, we prove that

max { D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) , ( D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) k ) } D C - p d ( M ) .

We may assume that n : = D C - p d ( M ) < . Then there is an exact sequence

0 D n D 1 D 0 M 0

with D i = ( D 1 i D 2 i ) φ D i D C P ( T ) . Thus we achieve an exact sequence.

0 D 1 n D 1 n 1 D 1 0 M 1 0

with D 1 i D C 1 P ( A ) by Theorem 3.5. Thus, D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) n .

Furthermore, according to Theorem 3.5, there is an exact sequence in B-Mod for each i

0 U A D 1 i D 2 i D 2 i ¯ 0

with D 2 i ¯ D C 2 P ( B ) . Then D C 2 - p d ( D 2 i ) = D C 2 - p d ( U A D 1 i ) k by [ [14] , Theorem 3.2]. There exists an exact sequence in B-Mod:

0 D 2 n D 2 n 1 D 2 0 M 2 0.

By [ [14] , Theorem 3.2], D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) n + k .

Next, we prove that D C - p d ( M ) max { ( D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ) + k + 1 , D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) } . We may assume that: m : = max { ( D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ) + k + 1 , D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) } < , n 1 : = D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) < and n 2 : = D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) < . Since D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) = n 1 m k 1 , we have an exact sequence in A-Mod:

0 D 1 m k 1 D 1 n 2 k f 1 1 D 1 0 f 1 0 M 1 0

with D 1 i D C 1 P ( A ) . There exists an epimorphism D 2 0 g 2 0 M 2 0 with D 2 0 D C 2 P ( B ) by [ [12] , Proposition 1.8]. Let K 1 i = ker f 1 i and define the map f 2 0 : U A D 1 0 D 2 0 to be ( φ M ( 1 u f 1 0 ) ) g 2 0 . Then we get an exact sequence

0 ( K 1 1 K 2 1 ) φ K 1 ( D 1 0 ( U A D 1 0 ) D 2 0 ) ( f 1 0 f 2 0 ) M 0.

In a similar way, there exists an exact sequence of B-modules D 2 1 g 2 1 K 2 1 0 with D 2 1 D C 2 P ( B ) . So we obtain an exact sequence

0 ( K 1 2 K 2 2 ) φ K 2 ( D 1 1 ( U A D 1 1 ) D 2 1 ) ( K 1 1 K 2 1 ) φ K 1 0.

Repeating this process, we obtain an exact sequence

0 ( 0 K 2 m k ) ( D 1 m k 1 ( U A D 1 m k 1 ) D 2 m k 1 ) ( f 1 m k 1 f 2 m k 1 ) ( D 1 1 ( U A D 1 1 ) D 2 1 ) ( f 1 1 f 2 1 ) ( D 1 0 ( U A D 1 0 ) D 2 0 ) ( f 1 0 f 2 0 ) ( M 1 M 2 ) 0.

Note that D C 2 - p d ( ( U A D 1 i ) D 2 i ) = D C 2 - p d ( U A D 1 i ) k , i { 0, , m k 1 } . By [ [14] , Theorem 3.2], the exact sequence 0 K 2 m k ( U A D 1 m k 1 ) D 2 m k 1 ( U A D 1 1 ) D 2 1 ( U A D 1 0 ) G 2 0 M 2 0 gives that D C 2 - p d ( K 2 m k ) max { k , n 2 m + k } = k . As a result, we have an exact sequence in B-Mod

0 D 2 m D 2 m k + 1 D 2 m k K 2 m k 0,

which induces an exact sequence in T-Mod:

0 ( 0 D 2 m ) ( 0 D 2 m k + 1 ) ( 0 D 2 m k ) ( D 1 m k 1 ( U A D 1 m k 1 ) D 2 m k 1 ) ( f 1 m k 1 f 2 m k 1 ) ( D 1 1 ( U A D 1 1 ) D 2 1 ) ( f 1 1 f 2 1 ) ( D 1 0 ( U A D 1 0 ) D 2 0 ) ( f 1 0 f 2 0 ) ( M 1 M 2 ) 0.

Since all ( D 1 i ( U A D 1 0 ) D 2 i ) and ( 0 D 2 j ) are D C -projective by Theorem 3.5, D C - p d ( M ) m

Corollary 4.3. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. If S D C 2 - P D ( B ) < , then D C - p d ( M ) < if and only if D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) < and D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) < .

Theorem 4.4. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. Then

max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } D C - P D ( T ) max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } .

Proof. Firstly, we show that the left side of the inequality. Assume that n : = D C - P D ( T ) < . Let M 1 A -Mod and M 2 B -Mod . Because D C - p d ( ( M 1 U A M 1 ) ) n and D C - p d ( ( 0 M 2 ) ) n , D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) n and D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) n by Lemma 4.1. Consequently, D C 1 - P D ( A ) n and D C 2 - P D ( B ) n .

Secondly, we show that the right side of the inequality. Assume that:

m : = max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } < .

Then D C 1 - P D ( A ) < and S D C 2 - P D ( B ) D C 2 - P D ( B ) < . Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M be a left T-module. According to Theorem 4.2, D C - p d ( M ) max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } .

Corollary 4.5. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. Then D C - P D ( T ) < if and only if D C 1 - P D ( A ) < and D C 2 - P D ( B ) < .

Corollary 4.6. Assume that R C 1 is semidualizing. Let T ( R ) = ( R 0 R R ) and C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) . Then D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) = D C 1 - P D ( R ) + 1 .

Proof. We know that R is Ding C-compatible and S D C 1 - P D ( R ) = 0 . Therefore by Theorem 4.4,

D C 1 - P D ( R ) D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) D C 1 - P D ( R ) + 1 .

It is obvious in the case D C 1 - P D ( R ) = . We may assume that n : = D C 1 - P D ( R ) < . Then there exists a left R-module M with D C 1 - p d ( M ) = n and Ext R n ( M , X ) 0 for some X F C 1 ( R ) by [ [12] , Theorem 2.4]. Now we consider an exact sequence in T ( R ) -Mod:

0 ( 0 M ) ( M M ) 1 M ( M 0 ) 0.

By applying the long exact sequence theorem to the preceding exact sequence, we obtain that

Ext T ( R ) n ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext T ( R ) n ( ( 0 M ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M 0 ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) .

By [ [10] , Lemma 3], we know that Ext T ( R ) i 1 ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext R i 1 ( M ,0 ) = 0 .

Thus by [ [10] , Lemma 3] and the above exact sequence,

Ext T ( R ) n ( ( 0 M ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M 0 ) , ( 0 X ) ) Ext R n ( M , X ) 0.

As ( 0 X ) F C ( T ( R ) ) by Corollary 2.8, we have D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) > n by [ [12] , Theorem 2.4]. Besides, D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) n + 1 . Thus D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) = n + 1 , which implies that D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) = n + 1
