The finitistic dimension of a triangulated category

arXiv:2307.12671

Abstract

The finitistic dimension of a triangulated category is introduced. For the category of perfect complexes over a ring it is shown that this dimension is finite if and only if the small finitistic dimension of the ring is finite.
