The Igusa-Todorov $\phi$-dimension on Morita context algebras

Abstract

In this article we prove that, under certain hypotheses, Morita context algebras that have zero bimodule morphisms have finite $\phi$-dimension. We also study the behaviour of the $\phi$-dimension for an algebra and its opposite. In particular we show that the $\phi$-dimension of an Artin algebra is not symmetric, i.e. there exists a finite dimensional algebra $A$ such that $\phi\dim (A) \not = \phi\dim (A^{op})$.
