Stratifying systems and Jordan-Hölder extriangulated categories

Abstract

Stratifying systems, which have been defined for module, triangulated and exact categories previously, were developed to produce examples of standardly stratified algebras. A stratifying system $\Phi$ is a finite set of objects satisfying some orthogonality conditions. One very interesting property is that the subcategory $\mathcal{F}(\Phi )$ of objects admitting a composition series-like filtration with factors in $\Phi$ has the Jordan-Hölder property on these filtrations. This article has two main aims. First, we introduce notions of subobjects, simple objects and composition series for an extriangulated category, in order to define a Jordan-Hölder extriangulated category. Moreover, we characterise Jordan-Hölder, length, weakly idempotent complete extriangulated categories in terms of the associated Grothendieck monoid and Grothendieck group. Second, we develop a theory of stratifying systems in extriangulated categories. We define projective stratifying systems and show that every stratifying system $\Phi$ in an extriangulated category is part of a minimal projective one $(\Phi ,Q)$. We prove that $\mathcal{F}(\Phi )$ is a length, Jordan-Hölder extriangulated category when $(\Phi ,Q)$ satisfies a left exactness condition. We give several examples and answer a recent question of Enomoto--Saito in the negative.
