Flat and Ghost dimensions in tensor triangulated categories with a compact tilting generator
Abstract
Let π― be a tensor triangulated category with a compact tilting generator M and abelian heart βM = Mβ₯β 0. We define a triangulated flat dimension flatdimπ―X for Xβπ―, and give criteria in terms of tensor vanishing and resolutions by the class of pure quotients of Add(M). We further introduce M-ghost length and M-ghost dimension, and show that the global dimension of βM controls the M-ghost length of all objects in π―, and that the M-ghost dimension of π― coincides with the weak global dimension of βM and the supremum of flatdimπ―X+infX of bounded objects, and the relative triangulated dimension of π―c with respect to add(M). This extends the classical Hovey-Lockridge theorem, which is recovered for derived categories of rings.

AB - Let π― be a tensor triangulated category with a compact tilting generator M and abelian heart β_M = M^β₯_β 0. We define a triangulated flat dimension flatdim_π―X for Xβπ―, and give criteria in terms of tensor vanishing and resolutions by the class of pure quotients of Add(M). We further introduce M-ghost length and M-ghost dimension, and show that the global dimension of β_M controls the M-ghost length of all objects in π―, and that the M-ghost dimension of π― coincides with the weak global dimension of β_M and the supremum of flatdim_π―X+infX of bounded objects, and the relative triangulated dimension of π―^c with respect to add(M). This extends the classical Hovey-Lockridge theorem, which is recovered for derived categories of rings.
