Finitistic Dimension of Faithfully Flat Weak Hopf-Galois Extension

Abstract

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional weak Hopf algebra over a field $k$ and $A/B$ be a right faithfully flat weak $H$-Galois extension. We prove that if the finitistic dimension of $B$ is finite, then it is less than or equal to that of $A$. Moreover, suppose that $H$ is semisimple. If the finitistic dimension conjecture holds, then the finitistic dimension of $B$ is equal to that of $A$.
