Auslander-Reiten Triangles, Ziegler Spectra and Gorenstein Rings

Abstract

We investigate (existence of) Auslander–Reiten triangles in a triangulated category in connection with torsion pairs, existence of Serre functors, representability of homological functors and realizability of injective modules. We also develop an Auslander–Reiten theory in a compactly generated triangulated category and we study the connections with the naturally associated Ziegler spectrum. Our analysis is based on the relative homological theory of purity and Brown’s Representability Theorem. Our main interest lies in the structure of Auslander–Reiten triangles in the full subcategory of compact objects. We also study the connections and the interplay between Auslander–Reiten theory, pure-semisimplicity and the finite type property, Grothendieck groups, and we give applications to derived categories of
