Abstract

Expanding Nakayama’s original concept of dominant dimension, Tachikawa, Müller and Kato have obtained a number of results pertaining to finite dimensional algebras and more generally, rings and their modules. The purpose of this paper is to introduce and examine a categorically dual notion, namely, codominant dimension. Special attention is given to the question of the relation between the codominant and dominant dimensions of a ring. In particular, we show that the two dimensions are equivalent for artinian rings. This follows from our main result that for a left perfect ring R the dominant dimension of each projective left R-module is greater than or equal to n if and only if the codominant dimension of each injective left R-module is greater than or equal to n. Finally, for computations, we consider generalized uniserial rings and show that the codominant dimension, or equivalently, dominant dimension, is a strict function of the ring’s Kupisch sequence.
