TTF classes generated by silting modules (2411.17581v1)

Abstract: We study the conditions under which a TTF class in a module category over a ring is silting. Using the correspondence between idempotent ideals over a ring and TTF classes in the module category, we focus on finding the necessary and sufficient conditions for $R/I$ to be a silting $R$-module, and hence for the TTF class $\mathbf{Gen}(R/I)$ to be silting, where $I$ is an idempotent two-sided ideal of $R$. In our main result, we show that $R/I$ is a silting module whenever $I$ is the trace of a projective $R$-module. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the converse holds for a broad class of rings, including semiperfect rings.
