Cotorsion pairs and Tor-pairs over commutative noetherian rings

Abstract

For a commutative noetherian ring $R$, we classify all the hereditary cotorsion pairs cogenerated by pure-injective modules of finite injective dimension. The classification is done in terms of integer-valued functions on the spectrum of the ring. Each such function gives rise to a system of local depth conditions which describes the left-hand class in the corresponding cotorsion pair. Furthermore, we show that these cotorsion pairs correspond by explicit duality to hereditary Tor-pairs generated by modules of finite flat dimension.
