A triangulated hull and a Nakayama closure of the stable module category inside the homotopy category (2109.11868v1)

Abstract: The stable module category has been realized as a subcategory of the unbounded homotopy category of projective modules by Kato. We construct the triangulated hull of this subcategory inside the homotopy category. This can also be used to characterize self-injective algebras. Moreover, we extend this construction to a subcategory closed under an induced Nakayama functor. Both of these categories are shown to be preserved by stable equivalences of Morita type. As an application, we study the Grothendieck group of this triangulated hull and compare it with the stable Grothendieck group.
