Cotilting with balanced big Cohen-Macaulay modules

Abstract

Over $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay rings with a canonical module, $d$-cotilting classes containing the maximal and balanced big Cohen-Macaulay modules are classified. Particular emphasis is paid to the direct limit closure of the balanced big Cohen-Macaulay modules, and the class of modules of depth $d$, which are shown to respectively be the smallest and largest such cotilting classes. Considerations are then given to the interplay between local cohomology, canonical duality and cotilting modules for the class of Gorenstein flat modules over Gorenstein local rings.
