Torsion pairs and filtrations in abelian categories with tilting objects

Abstract

Given a noetherian abelian k-category [Formula: see text] of finite homological dimension, with a tilting object T of projective dimension 2, the abelian category [Formula: see text] and the abelian category of modules over End (T) op are related by a sequence of two tilts; we give an explicit description of the torsion pairs involved. We then use our techniques to obtain a simplified proof of a theorem of Jensen–Madsen–Su, that [Formula: see text] has a three-step filtration by extension-closed subcategories. Finally, we generalize Jensen–Madsen–Su's filtration to the case where T has any finite projective dimension.
