Equality of left and right weak Gorenstein global dimensions

At least 16 years old · documented by

Let RR be a ring. Its left and right weak Gorenstein global dimensions are defined by

l.Gwdim⁡(R)=sup⁡{Gfd⁡R(M)∣M is a left R-module}l\operatorname{.Gwdim}(R)={\rm \sup}\{\operatorname{Gfd}_R(M)\mid M\text{ is a left }R\text{-module}\}

and

r.Gwdim⁡(R)=sup⁡{Gfd⁡R(M)∣M is a right R-module}.r\operatorname{.Gwdim}(R)={\rm \sup}\{\operatorname{Gfd}_R(M)\mid M\text{ is a right }R\text{-module}\}.

Equality conjecture. For any ring RR,

l.Gwdim⁡(R)=r.Gwdim⁡(R).l\operatorname{.Gwdim}(R)=r\operatorname{.Gwdim}(R).

The equality is known when RR has finite weak global dimension and when RR is left and right Noetherian. The conjecture asks whether it holds for arbitrary rings.
