1. Introduction
The Gorenstein dimension, or G-dimension, for finitely generated modules over a commutative noetherian ring was introduced by Auslander [Reference Auslander1] and was developed deeply by Auslander and Bridger [Reference Auslander and Bridger2]. The reason for the name is that G-dimension characterizes Gorenstein local rings exactly as projective dimension characterizes regular local rings. With that as a start, G-dimension has played an important role in singularity theory [Reference Iyengar, Letz, Avramov and Briggs18, Reference Yoshino37], cohomology theory of commutative rings [Reference Avramov and Martsinkovsky5, Reference Christensen10] and representation theory of Artin algebras [Reference Auslander and Reiten3, Reference Ringel and Zhang25]. Over a general ring, Enochs and Jenda [Reference Enochs and Jenda12] defined Gorenstein projective dimension for arbitrary modules. For finitely generated modules over commutative noetherian rings it coincides with the Auslander and Bridger’s G-dimension. For left modules over arbitrary associative rings, Holm [Reference Holm16] proved that the new concept has the desired properties.
In a different direction, Yassemi [Reference Yassemi34] studied G-dimension for complexes over a commutative noetherian local ring through a consistent use of the RHom-functor of complexes and the related category of reflexive complexes, while Christensen [Reference Christensen10] went straight for the throat and gave the definition in terms of resolutions. Thus, the two definitions are equivalent, and they are both rooted in a result — due to Foxby — saying that a finitely generated module has finite G-dimension if and only if it is reflexive as a complex in the sense defined in [Reference Yassemi34, Definition 2.4] (see also [Reference Christensen10, Definition 2.1.6]).
Despite the great success of the G-dimension in commutative noetherian rings, until now it was completely missing from higher algebra. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study G-dimensions in derived commutative algebra. More specifically, we work with non-positively graded commutative DG-rings
$A=\bigoplus_{i=-\infty}^{0}A^{i}$ with a differential of degree +1. These include the normalizations of simplicial commutative rings.
Given a commutative DG-ring A, the derived category of DG-modules over A will be denoted by
$\mathrm{D}(A)$. Its full subcategory consisting of DG-modules with bounded cohomology will be denoted by
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$. We denote by
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ the full triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ consisting of DG-modules with finitely generated cohomology. For a DG-module M, we set
$\mathrm{inf}{M} = \inf\{n\ | \ \mathrm{H}^{n}(M) \neq 0\},\ \mathrm{sup}{M} = \sup\{n \ |\ \mathrm{H}^{n}(M) \neq 0\}$ and
${\rm amp}{M} = \mathrm{sup}{M} -\mathrm{inf}{M}$.
Motivated by the G-dimension for complexes over a commutative noetherian ring defined in [Reference Christensen10, Reference Yassemi34], we introduce the definition of G-dimension for DG-modules.
Definition 1.1. Let A be a noetherian DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$.
(1) A DG-module
$X\in \mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ is said to be reflexive if
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\in{\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)}$ and the morphism
$X\rightarrow\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A),A)$ is an isomorphism in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$.(2) For a reflexive DG-module X, we define the G-dimension of X, denoted by
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX$, by the formula
\begin{equation*}\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A).\end{equation*}If X is not reflexive, we say that it has infinite G-dimension and write
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=\infty$.
Let A be an ordinary ring. If X is an A-module, then one can show that this definition coincides with the usual definition of the G-dimension of X defined by Auslander in [Reference Auslander1]; moreover, if X is an A-complex, then the G-dimension of X defined here is just the definition defined by Yassemi in [Reference Yassemi34, Definition 2.8] or by Christensen in [Reference Christensen10, Definition 2.3.3 and Theorem 2.3.7].
We denote by
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ for the full subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ consisting of reflexive DG-modules. A DG-module
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ is said to be in the G-class
$\mathcal{G}$ if either
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=-\mathrm{sup}X$, or X = 0, and denote by
$\mathcal{G}_0$ the full subcategory of
$\mathcal{G}$ consisting of objects G such that either
$\mathrm{amp}G\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AG=-\mathrm{sup}G=0$, or G = 0 (see Definition 3.5). If we write
$\mathcal{P}\subseteq \mathrm{D}(A)$ for the full subcategory of direct summands of a finite direct sums of A, i.e.
$\mathcal{P}=\mathrm{add}A$, then it is easy to check
$\mathcal{P}\subseteq\mathcal{G}_0$. If A is an ordinary ring and X an A-module, then
$\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}_0$ is exactly the class of modules of G-dimension zero.
Following [Reference Minamoto23], for any
$0\not\simeq X\in \mathrm{D}^+(A)$, a sppj morphism
$f:P\rightarrow X$ is a morphism in
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ such that
$P\in \mathrm{Add}A[-\mathrm{sup}X]$ and the morphism
$\mathrm{H}^{\mathrm{sup}X}(f)$ is surjective, where
$\mathrm{Add}A$ is the full subcategory of direct summands of a direct sum of A. Moreover, a sppj resolution
$P_{\bullet}$ of X is a sequence of exact triangles
$X_{i+1}\stackrel{g_{i+1}}\rightarrow P_i\stackrel{f_i}\rightarrow X_i\rightsquigarrow$ such that fi is a sppj morphism for
$i\geq 0$ with
$X_0:=X$. If A is noetherian and
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ then we can choose Pi in
$\mathcal{P}$ by [Reference Minamoto23, Proposition 2.26].
We set
$injdim_AA:=\{n\in Z\vert \text{Ext}_A^i(N,A)=0\;for\;any\;N\in \text{D}^b(A)\;and\;i \gt n-\text{inf}N\}$. Recall from [Reference Frankild, Iyengar and Jogensen13, Reference Frankild and Jogensen14] that a commutative noetherian local DG-ring
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$ is called Gorenstein if
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$ and
$\mathrm{injdim}_{A}A \lt \infty$.
Recall that for full subcategories
$\mathcal{X},\mathcal{Y}\subseteq \mathrm{D}(A)$, we define
$\mathcal{X}\ast\mathcal{Y}$ to be the full subcategory consisting
$Z\in \mathrm{D}(A)$ which fits into an exact triangle
$X\rightarrow Z\rightarrow Y\rightsquigarrow $ with
$X\in \mathcal{X}$ and
$Y\in \mathcal{Y}$.
Now, our main result can be stated as follows, which coveys that the standard techniques for classical commutative algebra can be generalized to commutative DG-algebras with appropriate modifications.
Theorem 1.2. Let
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$ be a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$.
(1) If
$0\not\simeq X\in{\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)}$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ and n is a natural number, then the following are equivalent:(i)
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq n-\mathrm{sup}X$;(ii) X has a sppj resolution
$P_\bullet$ such that
$X_e\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X_e]$;(iii) X belongs to
$\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n-1]\ast\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$;(iv) X belongs to
$\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+1]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$.
(2) If
$0\not\simeq X\in{\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)}$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X \lt \mathrm{amp}A$ and n is a natural number, then the following are equivalent:(i)
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq n+\mathrm{inf}A-\mathrm{inf}X$;(ii)
$X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X]$ belongs to
$\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n-1]\ast\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$.
(3) The following conditions are equivalent:
(i) A is local Gorenstein;
(ii) G-
$\mathrm{dim}_A\bar{k} \lt \infty$;(iii) G-
$\mathrm{dim}_A{X} \lt \infty$ for any
$X\in{\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)}$.
A few comments on Theorem 1.2 are in order. First, Theorem 1.2 provides a criteria for a natural number to be an upper bound of the G-dimension of a DG-module over a commutative noetherian local DG-ring. One major difference from the case of rings is that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\geq-\mathrm{sup}X$ need not hold in the DG-setting (see Example 3.4), it leads to the proof of two key results, Lemmas 3.8 and 3.9, for obtaining such a characterization is rather different with the ordinary commutative rings.
Second, it should be pointed out that the inequality
$\mathrm{amp}X \lt \mathrm{amp}A$ in Theorem 1.2(2) is very often met. For instance, assume that
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$ is a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$0 \lt \mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$. If we choose
$X=\bar{k}$ then
$\mathrm{amp}X=0 \lt \mathrm{amp}A$, as desired.
Finally, if
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$ is a local Gorenstein DG-ring with
$0 \lt \mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$, then
$\bar{k}$ has finite G-dimension by Theorem 1.2(3), but by [Reference Jorgensen20, Theorem 0.2],
$\bar{k}$ never has finite projective dimension introduced by Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson in [Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9]. For more explanations, we refer to Example 4.2. In combination with Proposition 4.1, we conclude that G-dmension is a finer invariant than projective dimension for DG-modules. We refer to Corollaries 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6 for more evidence about this.
Let A be an Artin algebra. The little finitistic dimension of A,
${\rm fpd}{A}$, is the supremum of projective dimensions of finitely generated A-modules of finite projective dimension. It is conjectured that
${\rm fpd}{A} \lt \infty$ holds for Artin algebras A; see Bass [Reference Bass6] and [Reference Auslander, Reiten and Smalø4, Conjectures]. This is the Finitistic Dimension Conjecture. Recently, this invariant has been generalized by Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson in [Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9] to the setting of non-positive commutative noetherian DG-rings with bounded cohomology. More precisely, they considered the number
It should be noted that the little finitistic dimensions of an algebra can alternatively be computed by G-dimension; see for instance [Reference Xi31, Lemma 4.4]. As the first application of Theorem 1.2, we have the following corollary which shows that the little finitistic dimension
$\mathrm{fpd}(A)$ over a DG-ring A can be computed by G-dimension defined in Definition 1.1 above.
Corollary 1.3. If A is a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$, then we have
As a direct consequence of Theorem 1.2(3) and Corollary 1.3, it follows that a local Gorenstein DG-ring A has finite little finitistic dimension, which gives a new proof of a very particular case of [Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9, Theorem A].
Let A be a commutative noetherian local ring (not a DG-ring). A close relation between the class of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules and the class of modules of G-dimension zero over A can be shown in the following fact; see for instance [Reference Christensen, Piepmeyer, Striuli and Takahashi11, 3.3].
Fact 1.4.
Let A be a commutative noetherian local ring. Denote by
$\mathcal{M}$ the class of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over A. Then the following hold:
(1) A is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if
$\mathcal{G}\subseteq \mathcal{M}$.(2) A is Gorenstein if and only if
$\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{M}$.
Recently, the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings and Cohen-Macaulay modules has been extended by Shaul [Reference Shaul28] to the setting of commutative noetherian DG-rings. There are many examples of local Cohen-Macaulay DG-rings, in particular local Gorenstein DG-rings are Cohen-Macaulay. As the second application of Theorem 1.2, we can generalize the above fact to the setting of commutative noetherian local DG-rings.
Corollary 1.5. Let
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}})$ be a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$. Denote by
$\mathcal{M}$ the class of maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules over A. Set
Then the following hold:
(1) A is local-Cohen-Macaulay if and only if
$\mathcal{H}\subseteq\mathcal{M}$.(2) A is Gorentein if and only
$\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{M}$.
In the study of stable homological algebra and Tate cohomology for two sided noetherian rings A, Buchweitz [Reference Iyengar, Letz, Avramov and Briggs18] introduced the Verdier quotient
$\textrm{D}_{\mathrm{sg}}(A):= \textrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/\textrm{K}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$, where
$\textrm{K}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ is the bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective left A-modules. Later on, this category was reconsidered by Orlov [Reference Orlov24]. Since it measures the homological singularity of the category of finitely generated left A-modules in sense that
$\textrm{D}_{\mathrm{sg}}(A)=0$ if and only if the global dimension of A is finite, we call it the singularity category. Buchweitz-Happel Theorem ([Reference Iyengar, Letz, Avramov and Briggs18, Theorem 4.4.1], see also [Reference Happel15, Theorem 4.6]) says that there is a fully faithful triangle functor
$F:\underline{\mathcal{G}}\to\textrm{D}_{sg}(A)$ provided that A is a commutative local Gorenstein ring. Also, it was shown in [Reference Bergh, Jorgensen and Oppermann8] that the inverse of this theorem holds true (see also [Reference Beligiannis7, Reference Kong and Zhang21]). Recently, Buchweitz-Happel Theorem has been generalized by Jin to a proper noncommutative Gorenstein DG-algebra over a field k (see [Reference Jin19, Theorem 0.3 and Assumption 0.1]).
As the third application of Theorem 1.2, we extend the classical Buchweitz-Happel Theorem and its inverse from commutative noetherian local rings to the setting of commutative noetherian local DG-rings. For notation and notions, we refer the reader to Section 4.3.
Corollary 1.6. Assume that A is a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$. Let
$\mathcal A=\{X\in\mathfrak R(A)\vert \textrm{sup}X\leq0\;and\;\textrm{G}-\textrm{dim}_AX\leq0\}$, and let
${\rm D}_{sg}(A):=\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ be the singularity category over A. Then the functor
is a triangle equivalence if and only if A is a local Gorenstein DG-ring.
Remark that if A is a commutative noetherian local DG-algebra over a field k, a Gorenstein ring in our setting is a proper Gorenstein DG-algebra defined by Jin in [Reference Jin19, Assumption 0.1]. Therefore, over a commutative noetherian local non-positive DG algebra over a field k, Corollary 1.6 conveys that the inverse of Buchweitz-Happel Theorem obtained by Jin [Reference Jin19, Theorem 0.3] is also true.
The article is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce notation, definitions and basic facts needed for proofs. Section 3 is devoted to giving the proof of Theorem 1.2. In Section 4, we apply Theorem 1.2 to establish the connection between G-dimensions and the little finitistic dimensions of A, to obtain a DG version of Fact 1.4, and to show a DG-version of Buchweitz-Happel Theorem and its inverse over A, and therefore prove the three corollaries.
2. Preliminaries
An associative DG-ring A is a
$\mathbb{Z}$-graded ring
$A=\bigoplus_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}A^i$ equipped with a
$\mathbb{Z}$-linear map
$d:A\rightarrow A$ of degree +1 such that
$d\circ d=0$, and such that
for all
$a\in A^i$ and
$b\in A^j$. A DG-ring A is called commutative if for all
$a\in A^i$ and
$b\in A^j$, one has
$b\cdot a=(-1)^{i\cdot j}a\cdot b$, and
$a^2=0$ if i is odd. A DG-ring A is called non-positive if
$A^i=0$ for all i > 0. A non-positive DG-ring A is called noetherian if the ring
$\mathrm{H}^0(A)$ is noetherian and the
$\mathrm{H}^0(A)$-modules
$\mathrm{H}^i(A)$ are finitely generated for all i < 0. All DG-rings in this paper will be assumed to be commutative and non-positive.
A DG-module M over A is a graded A-module together with a differential of degree +1 satisfying the Leibniz rule similar to (2.1). The DG-A-modules form an abelian category, and by inverting the quasi-isomorphisms we obtain the derived category
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ which is triangulated. We refer the reader to [Reference Yekutieli36] for more details about DG-rings and their derived categories.
If A is a noetherian DG-ring, we say that
$M \in\mathrm{D}(A)$ has finitely generated cohomology if for all
$n \in \mathbb{Z}$, the
$\mathrm{H}^{0}(A)$-modules
$\mathrm{H}^{n}(M)$ are finitely generated. We denote by
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ the full triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ consisting of DG-modules with finitely generated cohomology. We also set
$\mathrm{D}^{-}_{\mathrm{f}}(A) = \mathrm{D}_{\rm f}(A)\cap \mathrm{D}^{-}(A)$. Similarly we will consider
$\mathrm{D}^{+}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ and
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. All these are full triangulated subcategories of
$\mathrm{D}(A)$. If A is a noetherian DG-ring, and if the noetherian ring
$\mathrm{H}^{0}(A)$ is local with maximal ideal
$\bar{\mathfrak{m}}$ and residue field
$\bar{k}$, we will say that
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}})$ (or
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$) is a noetherian local DG-ring.
We recall the definition of the projective and injective dimensions of DG-modules introduced by Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson.
Definition 2.1. ([Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9, Definition 2.1])
Let A be a DG-ring and
$M \in \mathrm{D}(A)$.
(1) The projective dimension of M is defined by
\begin{equation*}projdim_AM=\textrm{inf}\{n\in Z\vert \textrm{Ext}_A^i(M,N)=0\;for\;any\;N\in \textrm{D}^b(A)\;and\;\;i \gt n+\textrm{sup}N\}\end{equation*}(2) The injective dimension of M is defined by
\begin{equation*}injdim_AM=\textrm{inf}\{n\in Z\vert \textrm{Ext}_A^i(N,M)=0\;for\;any\;N\in \textrm{D}^b(A)\;\;and\;\;i \gt n-infN\}\end{equation*}
Following [Reference Shaul27], let us recall the notion of local cohomology and local homology functors over commutative DG-rings. Let A be a commutative DG-ring, and let
$\bar{\mathfrak{a}}\subseteq \mathrm{H}^{0}(A)$ be a finitely generated ideal. The category of derived
$\bar{\mathfrak{a}}$-torsion DG-modules over A, denoted by
$\mathrm{D}_{\bar{\mathfrak{a}}\text{-}\mathrm{tor}}(A)$, is the full triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ consisting of DG-modules M such that the
$\mathrm{H}^{0}(A)$-modules
$\mathrm{H}^{n}(M)$ are
$\bar{\mathfrak{a}}$-torsion for all
$n\in \mathbb{Z}$. One can show that the inclusion functor
$F : \mathrm{D}_{\bar{\mathfrak{a}}\text{-}\mathrm{tor}}(A)\rightarrow \mathrm{D}(A)$ has a right adjoint
$G : \mathrm{D}(A) \rightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\bar{\mathfrak{a}}\text{-}\mathrm{tor}}(A)$, and composing this right adjoint with the inclusion, one obtains a triangulated functor
which we call the derived torsion or local cohomology functor of A with respect to
$\bar{\mathfrak{a}}$.
We recall the following definitions introduced by Shaul in [Reference Shaul28].
Definition 2.2. Let
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}})$ be a noetherian local DG-ring.
(1) We define the local cohomology Krull dimension of
$M\in\mathrm{D}^{-}(A)$ to be
\begin{equation*}\mathrm{lc.dim}_AM:= \sup_{l\in \mathbb{Z}}\{\mathrm{dim}(\mathrm{H}^{l}(M)) + l\}.\end{equation*}(2) We define the depth of
$N\in\mathrm{D}^{+}(A)$ to be the number
\begin{equation*}\textrm{depth}_AN:=\textrm{inf}RHom_A(\overline k,N).\end{equation*}
Definition 2.3. Let
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}})$ be a noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$.
(1) A is called local Cohen-Macaulay if
$\mathrm{amp}\mathrm{R}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}(A) = \mathrm{amp}A$.(2) We say that
$M \in \mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ is a local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-module if there are equalities
\begin{equation*}\mathrm{amp}M = \mathrm{amp}A = \mathrm{amp}\mathrm{R}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}(M).\end{equation*}(3) A local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-module M is maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay if
\begin{equation*}\mathrm{lc.dim}_AM= \sup M + \mathrm{dim}\mathrm{H}^{0}(A).\end{equation*}We denote by
$\mathcal{M}$ the full subcategory of maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules.
From now until the end of the paper, we always assume that
$(A,\bar{\mathfrak{m}},\bar{k})$ is a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with
$\mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$.
3. Proof of Theorem 1.2
This section is devoted to a proof of the statements of Theorem 1.2. We start with the following proposition.
Proposition 3.1. Let
$X'\rightarrow X\rightarrow X''\rightarrow X'[1]$ be an exact triangle in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. If two of the DG-modules belong to
$\mathcal{R}(A)$, then so is the third.
Proof. If two of
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X',A),\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)$ and
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X'',A)$ are in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$, then so is the third. Using the abbreviated notation
$((-, A),A):= \mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(-,A),A)$, we have the following commutative diagram of exact triangles in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$:

Therefore, if two of the morphisms
$\delta^{X'},\delta^{X}$ and
$\delta^{X''}$ are isomorphisms, then so is the third. The rest follows from the fact that
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ is the full triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}(A)$.
The following lemma was proven in a greater generality by Jorgensen in [Reference Jorgensen20].
Lemma 3.2. ([Reference Jorgensen20], Theorem 0.2)
Let
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{projdim}_AX \lt \infty$. Then
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$.
Lemma 3.3. If
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$, then
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\geq-\mathrm{sup}X$.
Proof. By assumption, one has the following (in)equalities
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{sup}X&\geq\mathrm{inf}X-\mathrm{inf}A\\
&=\mathrm{inf}\mathrm{RHom}_A(\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A),A)-\mathrm{inf}A\\
&\geq\mathrm{inf}A-\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)-\mathrm{inf}A\\
&=-\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A),
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*} where the first inequality is by assumption and the second one is by [Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9, Lemma 3.2(i)], which implies that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\geq-\mathrm{sup}X$.
We thank Dong Yang for communicating to us the next example which implies that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\geq-\mathrm{sup}X$ need not hold in the DG-setting in general.
Example 3.4. Let
$A=k[x]/(x^2)$ considered as a DG k-algebra, where k is a field and deg
$(x)=-1$. Let
$S=A/(x)$, which concentrated in degree 0. Then S has a sppj resolution
Its total complex F is a minimal semi-free resolution of S. Now we can deduce that the DG-module
$\mathrm{Hom}(F,A)$ is the total complex of
Then
$\mathrm{RHom}(S,A)\simeq\mathrm{Hom}(F,A)\simeq S[1]$ and
$S\in\mathcal{R}(A)$. So in this case,
$\sup S=0$, but
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AS=\sup\mathrm{RHom}(S,A)=-1$.
Definition 3.5. A DG-module
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ is said to be in the G-class
$\mathcal{G}$ if either
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=-\mathrm{sup}X$, or X = 0, and we denote by
$\mathcal{G}_0$ the full subcategory of
$\mathcal{G}$ consisting of objects G such that either
$\mathrm{amp}G\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AG=-\mathrm{sup}G=0$, or G = 0.
Remark 3.6. (1) Let
$X\rightarrow Y\rightarrow Z\rightsquigarrow$ be an exact triangle in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$. The exact triangle
$\mathrm{RHom}_A(Z,A)\rightarrow \mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A)\rightarrow \mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\rightsquigarrow$ yields that
(2) For
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$, it follows from Lemma 3.3 that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=-\mathrm{sup}X$ if and only if
$X\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$.
(3) For any
$i\in\mathbb{Z}$, one has
$\mathcal{P}[i]\subseteq \mathcal{G}_0[i]$ by [Reference Minamoto23, Lemma 2.14] and Lemma 3.2.
(4) For any
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ and
$n\in\mathbb{Z}$, one has
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[n]=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+n$.
(5) For any
$X\in\mathrm{D}^\mathrm{b}(A)$, there is a sppj
$f:P\rightarrow X$ and an exact triangle
$Y\rightarrow P\rightarrow X\rightsquigarrow$. If
$\mathrm{amp}Y \lt \mathrm{amp}A$, then
$(f,0):P\oplus P\rightarrow X$ is also a sppj morphism such that the triangle
$Y\oplus P\rightarrow P\oplus P\rightarrow X\rightsquigarrow$ is exact and
$\mathrm{amp}(Y\oplus P)\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ by Lemma 3.2.
We give several useful properties about sppj morphisms.
Lemma 3.7. Let
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$f:P\rightarrow X$ a sppj morphism with
$Y=\mathrm{cn}(f)[-1]$. If
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{sup}X\geq1$, then
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AY=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX-1$.
Proof. By Proposition 3.1,
$Y\in\mathcal{R}(A)$. Set
$n=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{sup}X$ and
$g:Y\rightarrow P$ be the canonical morphism. We may assume that
$\mathrm{sup}X=0$ by shifting the degree. Then
$n\geq1$.
Firstly, we need to prove
$\mathrm{H}^i(\mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A))=0$ for all
$i \gt n-1$. By assumption, we have
$\mathrm{H}^i(\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A))=0$ for all i > n and
$\mathrm{H}^i(\mathrm{RHom}_A(P,A))=0$ for all i > 0. Then the following exact sequence
yields that
$\mathrm{H}^i(\mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A))=0$ for all
$i \gt n-1$. Next, since
$\mathrm{H}^{n}(\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A))\neq0$, the exact sequence
$\mathrm{H}^{n-1}(\mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A))\rightarrow\mathrm{H}^{n}(\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A))\rightarrow 0$ implies that
$\mathrm{H}^{n-1}(\mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A))\neq0$. Therefore, one has
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AY=n-1$.
Lemma 3.8. Let
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathcal{G}$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. Then there exists a sppj morphism
$f:P\rightarrow X$ such that the cocone
$Y=\mathrm{cn}(f)[-1]$ is in
$\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$.
Proof. Let
$f:P\rightarrow X$ be a sppj morphism with
$P\in\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]$. One has an exact triangle
$Y\rightarrow P\rightarrow X\rightsquigarrow$. By Remark 3.6(5), we may assume that
$\mathrm{amp}Y\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. Then
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AP=-\mathrm{sup}X$ by [Reference Minamoto23, Lemma 2.14] and [Reference Yang and Wang33, Proposition 4.4(3)], so
$\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A)\leq-\mathrm{sup}X\leq-\mathrm{sup}Y$ since
$\mathrm{sup}Y\leq \mathrm{sup}X$. Hence Remark 3.6(2) implies that
$Y\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$.
Lemma 3.9. Let
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathcal{G}$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. Then there exists a morphism
$f:X\rightarrow P$ such that
$Y=\mathrm{cn}(f)\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$.
Proof. Since
$\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)=-\mathrm{sup}X$ and
$\mathrm{inf}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\geq\mathrm{inf}A-\mathrm{sup}X$, it follows that
$\mathrm{amp}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\leq\mathrm{amp}A$. Set
$n=\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)$ and
$X'=\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\oplus\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)[n]$. Then
$\mathrm{amp}X'=\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$\mathrm{sup}X'=\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)$. By Lemma 3.8, there exists a sppj morphism
$g:P\rightarrow X'$ such that
$P\in\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X']$, so we have a morphism
and an exact triangle
$X\stackrel{f}\rightarrow \mathrm{RHom}_{A}(P,A)\rightarrow Y\rightsquigarrow$, where f is the composition of
$X\rightarrow X\oplus X[-n]$ and
$g^\ast$. Since
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(P,A)\in\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]$,
$Y\in\mathcal{R}(A)$. By Remark 3.6(5), we may assume that
$\mathrm{amp}Y\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. We need to show that
$Y\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$. Note that
$\mathrm{H}^{-\mathrm{sup}X}(\mathrm{RHom}(f,A))$ is surjective,
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AY=\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(Y,A)\leq\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)=
\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX
=-\mathrm{sup}X$. If
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_A\mathrm{Y}+\mathrm{sup}Y\geq1$, then
$\mathrm{sup}X\leq\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{Y}-1$, and so
$\mathrm{H}^{\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{Y}}(Y)=0$, this is a contradiction. Therefore,
$Y\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$.
With the above preparations, now we prove Theorem 1.2.
Proof of Theorem 1.2
(1) Let X be a DG-module in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ and n a natural number. Then
$(ii) \Longrightarrow (iii)$ follows from Lemma 3.8 as
$e-\mathrm{sup}X_e\leq n-\mathrm{sup}X$.
$(iii) \Longrightarrow(i)$ and
$(iv) \Longrightarrow(i)$ hold by the definition.
To show
$(i) \Longrightarrow (ii)$, we assume that
$P_{\bullet}$ is a sppj resolution of X and
$X_{i+1}\stackrel{g_{i+1}}\rightarrow P_i\stackrel{f_i}\rightarrow X_i\rightsquigarrow$ are the corresponding exact triangles such that fi is a sppj morphism and
$\mathrm{amp}X_i\geq\mathrm{amp}A$ for
$i\geq 0$ with
$X_0:=X$. Fix
$i\geq 1$. If
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{j-1}+\mathrm{sup}X_{j-1} \gt 0$ for
$1\leq j\leq i$, then
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{j}=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{j-1}-1$ for
$1\leq j\leq i$ by Lemma 3.7, which implies
Since
$\mathrm{sup}X_i\leq \mathrm{sup}X$, it follows that the set
$\{i\geq 1\mid\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{i-1}+\mathrm{sup}X_{i-1} \gt 0\}$ is finite. Set
$e:=\mathrm{max}\{i\geq 1\mid\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{i-1}+\mathrm{sup}X_{i-1} \gt 0\}$. Then
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX_{e}+e=e-\mathrm{sup}X_e=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq n-\mathrm{sup}X$ and
$X_e\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X_e]$.
$(i) \Longrightarrow (iv)$ If
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=-\mathrm{sup}X$, then
$X\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$ by Remark 3.6(2). Assume that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX \gt -\mathrm{sup}X$. By analogy with the proof of Lemma 3.9, one can obtain an exact triangle
$Y\rightarrow X\rightarrow P^\ast\rightsquigarrow$, which induces the exact triangle
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(Y,A)[-1]\rightarrow P\stackrel{f}\rightarrow\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\rightarrow\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(Y,A),
\end{equation} where
$P^\ast=\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(P,A)\in\mathcal{P}[\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)]$. By Remark 3.6(5), we may assume that
$\mathrm{amp}Y\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. Since
$\mathrm{sup}P^\ast=-\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)=\mathrm{sup}X-n \lt \mathrm{sup}X$, one has
$\mathrm{sup}Y=\mathrm{sup}X$. As
$\mathrm{H}^{\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)}(f)$ is surjective, it follows from the triangle (3.1) that
Now by induction, one can obtain
$X\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+1]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$.
(2) Set
$\bar{X}=X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X]$. Then
$\bar{X}\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}\bar{X}=\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$\mathrm{sup}\bar{X}=\mathrm{sup}X$. As
$\textrm{G-dim}_AX+(\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X)=\textrm{G-dim}_A\bar{X}$, the statement follows from (1).
(3) Evidently, (iii) is stronger than (ii), so it is sufficient to prove that (i) implies (iii) and (ii) implies (i).
$(i)\Rightarrow(iii)$ As A is local Gorenstein,
$\mathrm{injdim}_AA \lt \infty$ and
$\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\leq\mathrm{injdim}_AA-\mathrm{inf}X$, it follows that
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ and
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$ for any
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. Consequently, for any
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$, we have
$\textrm{G-dim}_AX+\mathrm{inf}X\leq\mathrm{injdim}_AA$, as desired.
$(ii)\Rightarrow(i)$ Assume that G-dim
$_A\bar{k} \lt \infty$. Then
$\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\bar{k},A) \lt \infty$. Hence [Reference Yang and Wang33, Proposition 4.2 and Theorem 4.7] implies that
$\mathrm{injdim}_AA \lt \infty$ and A is local Gorenstein.
4. Applications
In this section, we will apply Theorem 1.2 to establish the connection between G-dimensions and the little finitistic dimensions of A, to examine the DG version of the Fact 1.4, and to establish a DG-version of Buchwtweiz-Happel Theorem and its inverse.
4.1. Relations between G-dimensions and the little finitistic dimensions
In this subsection we will apply Theorem 1.2 to show that the little finitistic dimension
$\mathrm{fpd}(A)$ can be computed by G-dimension of DG-modules in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$.
Yekutieli [Reference Yekutieli35] introduced a DG-version of projective dimension,
$\mathrm{pd}M$, for a DG-module M over a DG-algebra which are different from the definition
${\rm projdim}_AM$ in Definition 2.1. By [Reference Minamoto23, Theorems 2.22 and 3.21], one has
${\rm projdim}_AM=\mathrm{pd}M-\mathrm{sup}M$.
Proposition 4.1. Let
$0\not\simeq X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. One has
and equality holds if
$\mathrm{projdim}_AX \lt \infty$.
Proof. The inequality is trivial if X is of infinite projective dimension. Next, assume that
$n=\mathrm{projdim}_AX+\mathrm{sup}X \lt \infty$. It follows from [Reference Minamoto23, Proposition 2.26] that
$X\in\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+1]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$. Hence
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq n-\mathrm{sup}X$ by Theorem 1.2(1) and Lemma 3.2. This yields that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq\mathrm{projdim}_AX$. For the last part, one has
by [Reference Minamoto22, Proposition 2.2] and [Reference Yang and Wang33, Proposition 4.4(3)], as desired.
We employ an example in [Reference Shaul29] to illustrate Proposition 4.1 that a DG-module with finite G-dimension may have infinite projective dimension.
Example 4.2. Let
$(B,\mathfrak{m},k)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and D a dualizing complex over B with
$\mathrm{sup}D \lt 0$. Then the trivial extension DG-ring
$A:=B \lt imes D$ is a local Gorenstein DG-ring with
$0 \lt \mathrm{amp}A \lt \infty$ by [Reference Shaul29, Example 7.2], and hence G-
$\dim_Ak\leq{\mathrm{injdim}}_AA \lt \infty$, but
${\mathrm{projdim}}_Ak=\infty$ by Lemma 3.2.
The next lemma is an immediate consequence of equivalence of (i) and (iv) in Theorem 1.2(1).
Lemma 4.3. Let X be in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. If
$\mathrm G\text{-}\dim_AX=n$, then there exists an exact triangle
such that
$G\in\mathcal{G}_{0}[-\mathrm{sup}X]$ and
${\mathrm{projdim}}_AK=n-1$. For
$n=-\mathrm{sup}X$, we understand that K = 0.
The following result conveys that G-dimensions and the little finitistic dimensions are closely related to each other, which contains Corollary 1.3 in the introduction.
Theorem 4.4. Let X be an object in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$. If
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=n \lt \infty$, then there is a DG-module
$Y\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{projdim}_AY=n$. Moreover, one has
$=\mathrm{sup}\{\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{inf}X\mid
X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)\ {\rm with}\ \mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX \lt \infty\}$.
Proof. We may assume that
$n \gt -\mathrm{sup}X$. By Lemma 4.3, there exists an exact triangle
$G
\rightarrow X\rightarrow K\rightsquigarrow$ with
$\mathrm{projdim}_AK=n-1$ and
$G\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$, and there is an exact triangle
$G\rightarrow P\rightarrow G'\rightsquigarrow$ with
$P\in\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}G]$ and
$G'\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}G]$ by Lemma 3.9. Thus we get a commutative diagram of exact triangles in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$:

The exact triangle
$\mathrm{RHom}_A(G',A)\rightarrow \mathrm{RHom}_A(Y,A)\rightarrow \mathrm{RHom}_A(X,A)\rightsquigarrow$ yields that
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AY=n$. Note that
$\mathrm{sup}X=\mathrm{sup}Y$, so
$Y\not\in\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]$. As
$\mathrm{sup}K\leq\mathrm{sup}X-1$,
$P\rightarrow Y$ is a sppj morphism, it follows from the exact triangle
$P\rightarrow Y\rightarrow K\rightsquigarrow$ and Proposition 4.1 that
$\mathrm{projdim}_AY=n$. Hence we have shown the first statement. This yields that
$\mathrm{fpd}(A)\geq\mathrm{sup}\{\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{inf}X\mid
X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)\ \textrm{with}\ \mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX \lt \infty\}$. Also for any
$Z\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{projdim}_AZ \lt \infty$, one has
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AZ\geq\mathrm{projdim}_AZ$. This shows the first equality.
If
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X \lt \mathrm{amp}A$, then
$\mathrm{amp}(X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X])=\mathrm{amp}A$ and
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_A(X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X])-\mathrm{amp}A+\mathrm{amp}X$, and therefore
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_A(X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X])+\mathrm{inf}(X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X])=\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{inf}X$. Thus the second equality follows.
4.2. Comparison to maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules
The task of this subsection is to examine the DG version of Fact 1.4. We begin with the following AB formula for G-dimension of DG-modules.
Theorem 4.5. (AB Formula)
Let X be a DG-module of finite G-dimension. One has an equality
Proof. Since
$\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX \lt \infty$, we have the following equalities
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}\mathrm{depth}_AX
&=\mathrm{depth}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A),A)\\
&=-\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)+\mathrm{depth}A\\
&=-\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{depth}A,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*} where the second equality is by [Reference Yang and Wang33, Proposition 4.9] as
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$, as required.
Following [Reference Shaul28], if
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ then we set
and call it the sequential depth of X.
Corollary 4.6. Let X be a DG-module of finite G-dimension with
$\mathrm{amp}X=\mathrm{amp}A$. Then we have
Proof. One has the following equalities
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}\mathrm{G}\textrm{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX+\mathrm{sup}X
&=\mathrm{depth}A-\mathrm{depth}_AX+\mathrm{sup}X\\
&=\mathrm{depth}A-\mathrm{inf}A-(\mathrm{depth}_AX-\mathrm{inf}X)\\
&=\mathrm{seq.depth}A-\mathrm{seq.depth}_AX,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*} where the first one is by Theorem 4.5 and the second one is by
$\mathrm{amp}X=\mathrm{amp}A$.
We are now ready to prove Corollary 1.5.
Proof of Corollary 1.5
(1) The “only if” part holds by noting that
$A\in\mathcal{H}$ by [Reference Shaul28, Theorem 4.1]. For the “if” part, we assume that X is an object in
$\mathcal{H}$. It follows that
$\mathrm{lc.~dim}_AA\geq\mathrm{lc.dim}_AX-\mathrm{sup}X\geq\mathrm{depth}_AX-\mathrm{inf}X$. Since A is local Cohen-Macaulay, we have the following (in)equalities
\begin{equation*}
\begin{aligned}\mathrm{seq.depth}_AX
&\leq\mathrm{lc.dim}_AX-\mathrm{sup}X\\
&\leq\mathrm{lc.dim}A\\
&=\mathrm{seq.depth}A\\
&=\mathrm{seq.depth}_AX,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*} where the second equality follows from Corollary 4.6, which implies that
$\mathrm{ampR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X=\mathrm{amp}A=\mathrm{amp}X$ and
$\mathrm{lc.dim}_AX=\mathrm{dim}\mathrm{H}^{0}(A)+\mathrm{sup}X$. Thus
$X\in\mathcal{M}$.
(2) For the “only if” part, since A is local Gorentein, it follows from [Reference Shaul26, Theorem 7.26] that
$X\simeq\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A),A)$ and
$\mathrm{ampR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X=\mathrm{amp}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)$ for any
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. Let
$X\in\mathcal{M}$. Then
$\mathrm{amp}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)=\mathrm{amp}A$, it follows from Corollary 4.6 that
Thus
$X\in\mathcal{H}$ and
$\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{M}$ by (1).
For the “if” part, we assume that
$\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{M}$. Then A is local-Cohen-Macaulay by (1). Consider the sppj resolution
$P^\bullet$ of the DG-module
$k:=\bar{k}\oplus\bar{k}[-\mathrm{inf}A]$
By the proof of [Reference Yang and Li32, Proposition 4.4], one has
$G=A[-\mathrm{sup}k_d]\oplus k_d\in\mathcal{M}$ and k han an sppj resolution
Thus, G-dim
$_Ak \lt \infty$ by Theorem 1.2(1) and hence A is Gorenstein.
4.3. Buchweitz-Happel theory and its inverse
In this subsection we will employ Theorem 1.2 to prove Corollary 1.6 in the introduction.
Let
$\mathcal{T}$ be a triangulated category and
$\mathcal{D}\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ be subcategories in
$\mathcal{T}$. As usual, we denote by
$ \langle\mathcal{D}\rangle$ the smallest thick triangulated subcategory containing
$\mathcal{D}$, and denote by
$\mathcal{C}/\langle\mathcal{D}\rangle$ the Verdier’s quotient triangulated category. In fact,
$\langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ is the thick subcategory of the derived category
$\textrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ generated by A. We call the Verdier quotient
$ \textrm{D}_{\mathrm{sg}}(A):=\textrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/\langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ the singularity category of A. Each morphism
$f : X\rightarrow Y$ in
$\textrm{D}_{\mathrm{sg}}(A)$ is given by an equivalence class of left fractions
$s\setminus f$ as presented by
$s\setminus f: X \stackrel{f}\longrightarrow Z\stackrel{s}\Longleftarrow Y$, where the doubled arrow means s lies in the compatible saturated multiplicative system corresponding to
$\langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$.
In the following, we set
\begin{equation*}A[ \lt 0]^{\perp_{f}} = \{X \in \mathcal{R}(A)\mid\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{D}(A)}(A[ \lt 0],X) = 0\};\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}^{\perp_{f}}A[ \gt 0] = \{X \in \mathcal{R}(A) \mid\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{D}(A)}(X, A[ \gt 0]) = 0\}.\end{equation*}Recall from Corollary 1.5 that
Lemma 4.7. Let
$X\in \mathcal{R}(A)$. Assume that
Then
$X\in \mathcal{H}$ if and only if
$\sup X[\sup X]\leq0$ and
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[\sup X]\leq0$ if and only if
$X[\sup X]\in {^{\perp_{f}}{A[ \gt 0]}}\cap{{A[ \lt 0]}^{\perp_{f}}}$.
Proof. We will start by proving the first equivalence. Let
$X\in\mathcal{H}$. Since
$X\in \mathcal{G}$,
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX = - \sup X$. Therefore
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[\sup X]= \mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX + \sup X= 0$ and
$\sup X[\sup X]\leq0$. Conversely, suppose that
$\sup X[\sup X]\leq0$ and
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[\sup X]\leq0$. Then
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\leq -\sup X$ as
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[\sup X]=\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX + \sup X$. By Corollary 3.3, we have
$\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX\geq -\sup X$. It follows that
$X\in \mathcal{G}$. In order to show
$X\in\mathcal{H}$, it suffices to show
$\mathrm{amp}X\leq \mathrm{amp}A$. Since
$X[\sup X]\in \mathcal{R}(A)$, by [Reference Bird, Shaul, Sridhar and Williamson9, Lemma 3.2(i)], we have
\begin{align*}\inf(X[\sup X]) &= \mathrm{inf}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X[\sup X],A),A)
\geq-\mathrm{sup}\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X[\sup X],A)\\
&\quad+\,\mathrm{inf}(A).\end{align*} Then
$0\geq\mathrm{G}\text{-}\mathrm{dim}_AX[\sup X]=\sup(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X[\sup X],A))\geq\inf(A)-\inf(X[\sup X])$, it follows that
$-\inf(A)\geq -\inf(X[\sup X])$. On the other hand, since
$\sup A=0$ and
$0\geq \sup X[\sup X]$, we have
$\mathrm{amp} A=-\inf(A)\geq \sup X[\sup X]-\inf(X[\sup X])=\mathrm{amp}X[\sup X]= \mathrm{amp}X$, as desired.
The second equivalence follows from the equalities
$^{\perp_{f}}A[ \gt 0] =\{X \in \mathcal{R}(A)\mid\mathrm{H}^{i}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)) = 0~\textrm{for}~i \gt 0\}$ and
$A[ \lt 0]^{\perp_{f}} =\{X \in \mathcal{R}(A)\mid\mathrm{H}^{i}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(A,X)) = 0~\textrm{for}~i \gt 0\}
=\{X \in \mathcal{R}(A)\mid\mathrm{H}^{i}(X)= 0~\mathrm{for}~i \gt 0\}$.
In the following, we set
$\mathcal{A} = {^{\perp_{f}}{A[ \gt 0]}}\cap{{A[ \lt 0]}^{\perp_{f}}}.$
Remark 4.8. Let A be a non-positive DG-algebra over a field k satisfying the following conditions:
(i) A is proper, i.e.,
$\mathrm{dim}_{k} \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} \mathrm{H}^{i}(A) \lt \infty$;(ii) A is Gorenstein, i.e., the thick subcategory
$\mathrm{per}~A$ of the derived category
$\mathrm{D}(A)$ generated by A coincides with the thick subcategory generated by DA, where
$D = {\rm Hom}_{k}(-, k)$ is the k-dual.
Assume that A is a proper Gorenstein DG-algebra. Recently, Jin defined that a DG-A-module
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ is called Cohen-Macaulay if
$\sup M\leq 0 $ and
${\rm Hom}_{\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)}(M,A[i]) =0$ for all i > 0 (see [Reference Jin19, Definition 2.1]). If A is an ordinary Gorenstein algebra, then Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules defined by Jin is canonically equivalent to the usual (maximal) Cohen-Macaulay modules. Note that if a DG-module X belongs to
$\mathcal{R}(A)$, then
$X\in\mathcal{A}$ if and only if it is Cohen-Macaulay defined by Jin in the sense of [Reference Jin19].
On the other hand, from Corollary 1.5 we know that
$\mathcal{H}$ is equal to the class of maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules defined by Shaul [Reference Shaul28] over local Gorenstein DG-rings, see Definition 2.3. These two definitions are completely different at first glance. For example, one can see that the class of maximal local-Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules defined by Shaul is closed under suspensions, but the class of Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules defined by Jin is not. Fortunately, by Lemma 4.7, these two definitions are the same over commutative local Gorenstein DG-algebra over a field k under the condition that
$\mathrm{ampR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X\geq\mathrm{amp}X\geq \mathrm{amp}A$ for all
$X\in{\mathcal{R}(A)}$. This condition is natural and very often met. For example, this holds for any complex
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ over a commutative noetherian local ring A by [Reference Shaul28, Propositions 2.8 and 3.4]. Moreover, we assume that A is a DG-ring with
$\mathrm{dim}\mathrm{H}^0(A)=0$. Let
$X\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq \mathrm{amp}A$. Then
$\mathrm{supR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X\geq\mathrm{sup}X$ by [Reference Shaul28, Remark 2.3 and Theorem 2.15] and
$\mathrm{infR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X\leq\mathrm{inf}X$ by [Reference Shaul28, Propositions 3.3 and 3.5]. So we have
$\mathrm{ampR}\Gamma_{\bar{\mathfrak{m}}}X\geq\mathrm{amp}X$, as desired.
Lemma 4.9. The subcategory
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ is thick and it is the smallest triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ that contains the objects from
$\mathcal{A}$.
Proof. Obviously,
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ is closed under shifts and isomorphisms. Assume that
$X\in{\mathcal{R}(A)}$ and X ′ is a direct summand of X. There exits two split triangles
$X'\stackrel{u}\rightarrow X\stackrel{v}\rightarrow X''\stackrel{0}\rightarrow X'[1]$ and
$X''\stackrel{p}\rightarrow X\stackrel{q}\rightarrow X'\stackrel{0}\rightarrow X''[1]$ in
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$. For simplicity, we write
$((-, A),A)$ for
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(-,A),A)$. Then we have the following commutative diagrams of exact triangles:


Since u is a split monomorphism and δ X is an isomorphism, it is straightforward to check that
$\delta^{X'}$ is a split monomorphism by the commutative diagram (4.1). On the other hand, it follows from the commutativity of the diagram (4.2) that
$\delta^{X'}q$ is an epimorphism, which implies that
$\delta^{X'}$ is also an epimorphism. Thus,
$\delta^{X'}$ is an isomorphism and X ′ belongs to
$\mathcal{R}(A)$, and therefore
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ is a thick subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ by Proposition 3.1.
Recall that
$\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle$ is the smallest thick triangulated subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ that contains the objects from
$\mathcal{A}$. Since
$\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathcal{R}(A)$, it follows that
$\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle\subseteq\mathcal{R}(A)$. For the reverse containment, we assume that X is a non-zero object in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$. Note that
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ is precisely the subcategory of DG-modules with finite G-dimension. If
$\mathrm{amp}X\geq\mathrm{amp}A$, applying Theorem 1.2(1), there exists a natural number m such that X belongs to
$\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+1]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+m]$. By the fact that
$\mathcal{P}\subseteq\mathcal{G}_0\subseteq \mathcal{A}$, we deduce that X belongs to
$\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle$. If
$\mathrm{amp}X \lt \mathrm{amp}A$, applying Theorem 1.2(2), then
$X\oplus X[\mathrm{amp}A-\mathrm{amp}X]$ belongs to
$\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X]\ast\cdots\ast\mathcal{P}[-\mathrm{sup}X+n-1]\ast\mathcal{G}_0[-\mathrm{sup}X+n]$ for some n. Similarly, since
$\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle$ is thick, one has
$X\in\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle$. Altogether, we have
$\mathcal{R}(A)=\langle\mathcal{A}\rangle$.
Let
$\mathcal{T}$ be a triangulated category. Recall that a subcategory
$\omega\subseteq{\mathcal{T}}$ is called presilting if
$\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathcal{T}}(M,M'[i])=0$ for all
$M, M'\in \omega$ and i > 0. Let
$\mathcal{E}$ be an arbitrary category. A full additive subcategory
$\mathcal{M} \subseteq \mathcal{E}$ is called contravariantly finite, if every object X in
$\mathcal{E}$ admits a right
$\mathcal{M}$-approximation, i.e. there exists an object
$M \in\mathcal{M}$ and a morphism
$f : M \rightarrow X$, such that the induced map
${\rm Hom}_{\mathcal{E}}(N, M)\rightarrow {\rm Hom}_{\mathcal{E}}(N, X)$ is surjective for all
$N \in \mathcal{M}$. Dually, we define the notion of a covariantly finite subcategory. We say that M is functorially finite if it is both covariantly and contravariantly finite.
Lemma 4.10. The following statement hold.
(1)
$\mathcal{A}$ is closed under extensions and direct summands and finite direct sums in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$.(2) The subcategory
$\mathcal{P}=\mathrm{add}~A$ is presilting and functorially finite in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$.
Proof. (1) Since
$\mathcal{A}={{A[ \lt 0]}^{\perp_{f}}}\cap{^{\perp_{f}}{A[ \gt 0]}}$, one can check that all objects in
$\mathcal{A}$ is closed under extensions and direct summands and finite direct sums in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$.
(2) The subcategory
$\mathcal{P}$ is presilting follows from the fact that A is a non-positive DG-ring. Note that for any
$N\in \mathcal{R}(A)$, the set of the generators of
$\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{D}(A)}(A,N) \cong \mathrm{H}^{0}(N)$ is finite. If
$f_{1},\cdots,f_{s}$ are generators of
$\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{D}(A)}(A,N)$, then the canonical homomorphism
$f : A^{(s)}\rightarrow N$ given by
$(f_{1},\cdots,f_{s})$ is a right
$\mathcal{P}$-approximation. On the other hand, since
$\mathrm{RHom}_{A}(X,A)\in\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ for any
$X\in\mathcal{R}(A)$, the set
$\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathrm{D}(A)}(X,A)$ also has finite generators. So the left
$\mathcal{P}$-approximation can be constructed by a similar way. Therefore,
$\mathcal{P}$ is functorially finite in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$.
Following [Reference Wei30], we denote by
$[\mathcal{D}]$ the ideal of morphisms in
$\mathcal{C}$ which factor through objects in
$\mathcal{D}$. The stable category of
$\mathcal{C}$ by
$\mathcal{D}$ is the quotient category
$\mathcal{C}/[\mathcal{D}]$, for which objects are the same as
$\mathcal{C}$, but morphisms are morphisms in
$\mathcal{C}$ modulo those in
$[\mathcal{D}]$.
The following results are analogues of well-known properties of Cohen-Macaulay modules.
Theorem 4.11. (1) The stable category
$\underline{\mathcal{A}}:=\mathcal{A}/[\mathcal{P}]$ is a triangulated category;
(2) The composition
$\mathcal{A}\hookrightarrow \mathcal{R}(A)\rightarrow \mathcal{R}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ induces a triangle equivalence
\begin{equation*}H:~~~ \underline{\mathcal{A}}\simeq \mathcal{R}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle.\end{equation*}(3)
$\mathcal{R}(A)=\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$ if and only if A is a local Gorenstein DG-ring.
Proof. (1) By Lemma 4.10(2), we know that
$\mathcal{P}$ is presilting and functorially finite in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$. Then the result follows from the proof of [Reference Wei30, Corollary 2.7] and [Reference Wei30, Proposition 2.4(3)].
(2) Since
$\mathcal{P}\subseteq \mathcal{R}(A)$ and
$\mathcal{R}(A)$ is a triangulated full subcategory of
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{f}}(A)$, we have
$\langle\mathcal{P}\rangle \subseteq \mathcal{R}(A)$. Thanks to [Reference Wei30, Corollary 2.7] or [Reference Iyama and Yang17, Theorem 1.1], by Lemma 4.10, there is a triangle equivalence between
$\underline{\mathcal{A}}$ and the singularity category
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$.
(3) This follows from Theorem 1.2(3).
Let G be the obvious composite functor
$\mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)\rightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$. Since
$G(\mathcal{P}) = 0$, there is a unique factorization of G through the canonical projection
$S : \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \underline{\mathcal{A}}$. We denote by F the factorization from
$\underline{\mathcal{A}}$ to
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$. Then
$G = F\circ S$. In fact, F is the composite functor
$\underline{\mathcal{A}}\overset{H}{\rightarrow} \mathcal{R}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle\hookrightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$. Let A be a local Gorenstein DG-ring. By Theorem 4.11(3), we obtain a triangle equivalence:
$F: \underline{\mathcal{A}}\simeq \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle.$
We are now ready to prove Corollary 1.6.
Proof of Corollary 1.6
By Theorem 4.11, it suffices to show that if the functor
$F: \underline{\mathcal{A}}\rightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ is dense, then A is a local Gorenstein DG-ring. Assume that
$F: \underline{\mathcal{A}}\rightarrow \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/ \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$ is dense, and let M be any DG-module in
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$. It follows that
$M\cong F (G)$ in
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ for some
$G\in \mathcal{A}$. Let
$s\setminus f: M \stackrel{f}\longrightarrow Z\stackrel{s}\Longleftarrow G$ be an isomorphism in
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$ with
$\mathrm{cn}(s)\in \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$, then
$\mathrm{cn}(f)\in \langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$. Consider the triangle
$G \stackrel{s}\rightarrow Z\longrightarrow \mathrm{cn}(s)\rightsquigarrow$ in
$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)$. We see that G and
$\mathrm{cn}(s)$ lie in
$\mathcal{R}(A)$, so
$Z\in \mathcal{R}(A)$. It follows from
$Z\in \mathcal{R}(A)$ and
$\mathrm{cn}(f)\in \mathcal{R}(A)$ that
$M\in \mathcal{R}(A)$. Therefore the G-dimension of M is finite, and so A is a local Gorenstein DG-ring by Theorem 1.2(3).
Remark 4.12. If A is a local Gorenstein ring, then Corollary 1.6 gives the classical Buchweitz-Happle Theorem and its inverse. As we stated in the Introduction, Jin [Reference Jin19] proved that if A is a proper Gorenstein DG-algebra, then there is a triangle equivalence between the stable category of Cohen-Macaulay DG-modules (see Remark 4.8) and the singularity category
$\mathrm{D}^{\mathrm{b}}(A)/\langle\mathcal{P}\rangle$. This generalizes Buchweitz-Happle Theorem to the setting of proper Gorenstein DG-algebras (see [Reference Jin19, Theorem 2.4]). In fact, over commutative local noetherian DG-algebras over a field k, condition (ii) of the proper Gorenstein DG-algebra is equivalent to
$\mathrm{injdim}_AA \lt \infty$. In this case, a Gorenstein ring in our setting is a proper Gorenstein DG-algebra defined in [Reference Jin19]. Therefore, over a commutative local noetherian non-positive DG algebra over k, Corollary 1.6 shows that the inverse of Buchweitz-Happel Theorem is also true.
