Dual of the Auslander-Bridger formula and GF-perfectness

Abstract

Ext-finite modules were introduced and studied by Enochs and Jenda. We prove under some conditions that the depth of a local ring is equal to the sum of the Gorenstein injective dimension and Tor-depth of an Ext-finite module of finite Gorenstein injective dimension. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring. We say that an $R$-module $M$ with $\dim_R M=n$ is a Grothendieck module if the $n$-th local cohomology module of $M$ with respect to $\mathfrak m$, $\mathrm{H}_{\mathfrak m}^n (M)$, is non-zero. We prove the Bass formula for this kind of modules of finite Gorenstein injective dimension and of maximal Krull dimension. These results are dual versions of the Auslander-Bridger formula for the Gorenstein dimension. We also introduce GF-perfect modules as an extension of quasi-perfect modules introduced by Foxby.
