The completion of $d$-abelian categories

Abstract

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra, and $\mathfrak{M}$ be a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory of mod$A$. From the viewpoint of higher homological algebra, a natural question to ask is when $\mathfrak{M}$ induces a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory in Mod$A$. In this paper, we investigate this question in a more general form. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a small $d$-abelian category of an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$. The completion of $\mathcal{M}$, denoted by Ind$(\mathcal{M})$, is defined as the universal completion of $\mathcal{M}$ with respect to filtered colimits. We explore Ind$(\mathcal{M})$ and demonstrate its equivalence to the full subcategory $\mathcal{L}_d(\mathcal{M})$ of Mod$\mathcal{M}$, comprising left $d$-exact functors. Notably, while Ind$(\mathcal{M})$ as a subcategory of $\frac{Mod\mathcal{M}}{Eff(\mathcal{M})}$, satisfies all properties of a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory except $d$-rigidity, it falls short of being a $d$-cluster tilting category. For a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory $\mathfrak{M}$ of mod$A$, $\overrightarrow{\mathfrak{M}}$, consists of all filtered colimits of objects from $\mathfrak{M}$, is a generating-cogenerating, functorially finite subcategory of Mod$A$. The question of whether $\mathfrak{M}$ is a $d$-rigid subcategory remains unanswered. However, if it is indeed $d$-rigid, it qualifies as a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory. In the case $d=2$, employing cotorsion theory, we establish that $\overrightarrow{\mathfrak{M}}$ is a $2$-cluster tilting subcategory if and only if $\mathfrak{M}$ is of finite type. Thus, the question regarding whether $\overrightarrow{\mathfrak{M}}$ is a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory of Mod$ A$ appears to be equivalent to the Iyama's qestion about the finiteness of $\mathfrak{M}$.
