A NOTE ON DIMENSION OF TRIANGULATED CATEGORIES.<br />

HIROYUKI MINAMOTO<br />

Abstract. In this note we study <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> behavior <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> perfect derived<br />

category Perf(A) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a dg-algebra A over a field k under a base field extensi<strong>on</strong> K/k. In<br />

particular we show that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a perfect derived category is invariant under a<br />

separable algebraic extensi<strong>on</strong> K/k. As an applicati<strong>on</strong> we prove <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following statement:<br />

Let A be a self-injective algebra over a perfect field k. If <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> stable<br />

category modA is 0, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n A is <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> finite representati<strong>on</strong> type. This <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>orem is proved by<br />

M. Yoshiwaki in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> case when k is an algebraically closed field. Our pro<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> depends <strong>on</strong><br />

his result.<br />

1. Introducti<strong>on</strong><br />

In [3] R. Rouquier introduced <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> triangulated categories <strong>and</strong> showed that<br />

it gives an upper bound or a lower bound <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r dimensi<strong>on</strong>s in algebraic geometry or<br />

in representati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ory(see also [4]). The dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> triangulated categories is studied<br />

by many researchers.<br />

In this note we study <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> behavior <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> perfect derived category<br />

Perf(A) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a dg-algebra A over a field k under a base field extensi<strong>on</strong> K/k. For a field<br />

extensi<strong>on</strong> K/k, we denote A ⊗ k K by A K .<br />

Theorem 1.<br />

(1) For an algebraic extensi<strong>on</strong> K/k, we have<br />

tridim Perf(A) ≤ tridim Perf(A K ).<br />

(2) If moreover K/k is separable, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n equality holds.<br />

As an applicati<strong>on</strong> we prove <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>orem, which gives evidence that dimensi<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> triangulated categories captures some representati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>oretic properties.<br />

The stable category modA plays an important role in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> study <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> self-injective algebra<br />

A (cf. [2, 4]). If a self-injective algebra A is <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> finite representati<strong>on</strong> type <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimensi<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> stable category modA is zero. Then a natural questi<strong>on</strong> arises as to whe<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

c<strong>on</strong>verse should also hold.<br />

Theorem 2. Let A be a self-injective finite dimensi<strong>on</strong>al algebra over a perfect field k. If<br />

tridim modA = 0, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n A is <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> finite representati<strong>on</strong> type.<br />

In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> case when k is an algebraically closed field, this <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>orem is proved by M. Yoshiwaki<br />

in [5]. Our pro<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> depends <strong>on</strong> his result.<br />

The final versi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this paper has been submitted for publicati<strong>on</strong> elsewhere.<br />
