On t-structures and Torsion Theories Induced by Compact Objects

Abstract

First, we show that a compact object $C$ in a triangulated category, which satisfies suitable conditions, induces a $t$-structure. Second, in an abelian category we show that a complex $P^{\centerdot}$ of small projective objects of term length two, which satisfies suitable conditions, induces a torsion theory. In the case of module categories, using a torsion theory, we give equivalent conditions for $P^{\centerdot}$ to be a tilting complex. Finally, in the case of artin algebras, we give one to one correspondence between tilting complexes of term length two and torsion theories with certain conditions.
