Twisted separability for adjoint functors

Abstract

Twisted separable functors generalize the separable functors of Nastasescu, Van den Bergh and Van Oystaeyen, and provide a convenient tool to compare various projective dimensions. We discuss when an adjoint functor is twisted separable, obtaining a version of Rafael's Theorem in the twisted case. As an application, we show that if $R$ is Hopf-Galois object over a Hopf algebra $A$, then their Hochschild cohomological dimension coincide, provided that the cohomological dimension of $A$ is finite and that $R$ has a unital twisted trace with respect to a semi-colinear automorphism.
