Flat model structures and Gorenstein objects in functor categories (2211.10945v3)

Abstract: We construct a flat model structure on the category ${\mathcal{Q},R}{\mathsf{Mod}}$ of additive functors from a small preadditive category $\mathcal{Q}$ satisfying certain conditions to the module category ${R}{\mathsf{Mod}}$ over an associative ring $R$, whose homotopy category is the $\mathcal{Q}$-shaped derived category introduced by Holm and Jorgensen. Moreover, we prove that for an arbitrary associative ring $R$, an object in $_{\mathcal{Q},R}{\mathsf{Mod}}$ is Gorenstein projective (resp., Gorenstein injective, Gorenstein flat, projective coresolving Gorenstein flat) if and only if so is its value on each object of $\mathcal{Q}$, and hence improve a result by Dell'Ambrogio, Stevenson and \v{S}\v{t}ov\'{\i}\v{c}ek.
