PURITY IN TRIANGULATD CATGORIS 269 more general categories with a relative aelian structure Its main theme consists of a selection of a class of extensions In triangulated categories there is a natural candidate for extensions, namely the Ž distinguished triangles Let C e a triangulated category with triangulation We devel a homological algera in C which parallels the homological algera in an exact category in the sense of Quillen, y specifying a class of triangles which is closed under translations and satisfies the analogous formal prerties of a prer class of short exact sequences We call such a class of triangles a prer class of triangles Two ig differences occur etween the homological algera in a triangulated category and in an exact category First, the asolute theory in a triangulated category, ie, if we choose as a prer class, is trivial Second, a prer class of triangles is uniquely determined y an ideal Ph Ž C of C, which we call the ideal of -phantom maps This ideal is a homological invariant which almost always is non-trivial and in a sense controls the homological ehavior of the triangulated category However, there are non-trivial examples of phantomless categories To a large extent the relative homological ehavior of C with respect to depends on the knowledge of the structure of -phantom maps The paper is organized as follows Section 2 contains the asic definitions aout prer classes of triangles and phantom maps in a triangulated category C We prove that there exists a ijective correspondence etween prer classes of triangles and special ideals of C, and we discuss riefly an analogue of Baer s theory of extensions In Section 3 we prove that there exists a ijective correspondence etween prer classes of triangles in C and Serre sucategories of the category modž C of finitely presented additive functors C A, which are closed under the suspension functor Using this correspondence, we associate to any prer class of triangles in C a uniquely determined aelian category S Ž C, the -Steenrod category of C The -Steenrod category comes equipped with a homological functor S: C S Ž C, the projectiization functor, which is universal for homological functors out of C which annihilate the ideal of -phantom maps The terminology comes from stale homoty: the Steenrod category of the stale homoty category of spectra with respect to the prer class of triangles induced from the ilenergmaclane spectrum corresponding to Ž p is the module category over the mod-p Steenrod algera We regard S Ž C as an aelian approximation of C and the idea is to use it as a tool for transferring information etween the tological category C and the algeraic category S Ž C This tool is crucial, if the projectivization functor is non-trivial and this happens iff the prer class of triangles generates C in an apprriate sense In Section 4, fixing a prer class of triangles in a triangulated category C, we introduce -projective ojects, -projective resolutions,

270 APOSTOLOS BLIGIANNIS -projective and -gloal dimension and their duals, and we prove the asic tools of homological algera ŽSchanuel s lemma, horseshoe lemma, comparison theorem in this setting It follows that we can derive additive functors which ehave well with respect to triangles in We compare the homological invariants of C with respect to with the homological invariants of its -Steenrod category, via the projectivization functor Finally we study riefly the semisimple and hereditary categories In Section 5, we associate with any oject A in C the -phantom and the -cellular tower of A, which are crucial for the study of the homological invariants of A with respect to, eg, the structure of -phantom maps out of A and the -projective dimension of A Using these towers we prove our first main result which asserts that the gloal dimension of C with respect to is less than equal to 1 iff the projectivization functor S: C S Ž C is full and reflects isomorphisms The prer setting for the study of the -phantom and the -cellular tower is that of a compactly generated triangulated category 55 In this case homoty colimits are defined and we prove that under mild assumptions, any oject of C is a homoty colimit of its -cellular tower and the homoty colimit of its -phantom tower is trivial Finally we study the category of extensions of -projective ojects, the phantom tology and the phantom filtration of C induced y the ideal Ph Ž C, and we compute the -phantom maps which live forever, ie maps in Ph n Ž C n1, in terms of the -cellular tower In Section 6 we associate with any triangulated category C with enough -projectives a new triangulated category D Ž C which we call the -deried category Under some mild assumptions D Ž C is realized as a full sucategory of C and is descried as the localizing sucategory of C generated y the -projective ojects Moreover, D Ž C is compactly generated and any compactly generated category is of this form This construction, which generalizes the construction of the usual derived category, allows us to prove the existence of total -deried functors Applying these results to the derived category of a Grothendieck category with projectives, we generalize results of Spaltenstein 67, Boekstedt and Neeman 16, Keller 42, and Weiel 71 concerning resolutions of unounded complexes and the structure of the unounded derived category, proved in the aove papers y using essentially a closed model structure on the category of complexes In Section 7 we prove that the stale category of C modulo -projectives admits a natural left triangulated structure, which in many cases it is useful to study The results of the first seven sections refer to general prer classes of triangles in unspecified categories In Section 8 we study prer classes of triangles Ž X induced y skeletally small sucategories X in a category C with croducts Under a reasonale condition on X we show that the

PURITY IN TRIANGULATD CATGORIS 271 Steenrod category of C with respect to the prer class Ž X is the category Mod X of additive functors X A We compare the Ž X - homological prerties of ojects of C with the homological prerties of projective, flat, and injective functors of the category ModŽ X Our first main result in this section shows that if X compactly generates C, then C has enough Ž X -injective ojects in a functorial way and admits Ž X -in- jective enveles This generalizes a result of Krause 50 Our second main result shows that if X compactly generates C or if any oject of C has finite Ž X -projective dimension, then any croduct preserving homological functor from C to a Grothendieck category annihilates the ideal of Ž X -phantom maps This generalizes results otained independently y Christensen and Strickland 21 and Krause 50 In Section 9 we characterize the Ž X -semisimple or Ž X -phantomless categories C y a host of conditions, generalizing work of Neeman 54 Perhaps the most characteristic is the condition that C is a pure-semisimple locally finitely presented category 24 ; in particular, C has filtered colimits Using this and an old result of Heller 34 Žoserved also y Keller and Neeman 44, we give necessary conditions for a skeletally small category D such that the categories of Pro-ojects and Ind-ojects over D admit a triangulated structure These conditions are sufficient for the existence of a Puppe-triangulated or pre-triangulated structure 57 on these categories, in the sense that the octahedral axiom does not necessarily hold In Section 10 we study Brown representation theorems, via the concept of a representation equivalence functor, ie, a functor which is full, surjective on ojects, and reflects isomorphisms We say that a pair Ž C, X consisting of a triangulated category with croducts C and a full skeletally small triangulated sucategory X C satisfies the Brown representaility theorem or that C is an Ž X -Brown category, if the projectivization functor of C with respect to Ž X induces a representation equivalence etween C and the category of cohomological functors over X Our main result shows that this happens iff X compactly generates C and any cohomological functor over X has projective dimension ounded y 1 This generalizes results of Christensen and Strickland 21 and Neeman 56 In Section 11 we study the fundamental concept of purity in a compactly generated triangulated category which provides a link etween representation-theoretic and homological prerties Motivated y the examples of the stale homoty category of spectra, the derived category of a ring, and the stale module category of a quasi-froenius ring, it is natural to regard a compact oject as an analogue of a finitely presented oject in a triangulated category In this spirit the prer class of triangles induced y the compact ojects are the pure triangles and the resulting theory is the pure homological algera of C In this case the pure Steenrod category of

272 APOSTOLOS BLIGIANNIS Ž C is the module category Mod C, where C denotes the full sucategory of compact ojects of C We give various formulas for the computation of the pure gloal dimension and we prove that the pure gloal dimension ounds the pure gloal dimension of a smashing or finite localization Our main result characterizes the pure Brown categories as the pure hereditary ones, and also y a host of equivalent conditions, the most notale eing the fullness of the projectivization functor and the conditions concerning the ehavior of weak colimits These results are applied directly to the stale homoty category, which has pure gloal dimension 1 By the results of Section 9, a compactly generated triangulated category is pure semisimple iff its pure Steenrod category is locally Noetherian Motivated y the pure homological theory of module categories, we define a category to e of finite type if its pure Steenrod category is locally finite We prove that the phantomless, Brown, or finite type prerty is preserved under smashing or finite localization, generalizing results of Hovey et al 38 In Section 12 we apply the results of the previous sections Žmainly aout purity to derive categories of rings and stale categories of quasi-froenius rings We compute the pure gloal dimension for many classes of rings and we prove that the derived category DŽ of a ring is of finite type iff Ž Ž D is of finite type iff D and D are pure semisimple, so finite type is a symmetric condition However, we show that the Brown prerty is not symmetric in general Motivated y the pure homological theory of module categories we formulate the deried pure semisimple conjecture, DPSC for short, which asserts that if DŽ is pure semisimple, then DŽ is of finite type DPSC implies the still en pure semisimple conjecture asserting that a right pure semisimple ring is of finite representation type We prove DPSC for many classes of rings, including Artin algeras Indeed we characterize the Artin algeras with pure semisimple derived categories as the iterated tilted algeras of Dynkin type We prove that the analogue of DPSC holds for the stale category of a quasi-froenius ring, showing that is representation-finite iff the stale category of is pure semisimple Ž of finite type The analogue of DPSC in a general compactly generated triangulated category fails We prove this y answering in the negative a seemingly unrelated prolem of Roos 64 concerning the structure of quasi-froenius Grothendieck categories Our results indicate that finite type is the apprriate notion of representation-finiteness, at least for stale or derived categories We close the paper y applying the results of Sections 6 and 7 to derived categories In particular we otain structure results for the unounded derived category and we generalize results of Wheeler 72, 73 concerning the structure of the stale derived category
