Abstract

We study Morita rings \(\Lambda _{(\phi ,\psi )}=\left (\begin {array}{cc}A &_{A}N_{B} \\ _{B}M_{A} & B \end {array}\right )\) in the context of Artin algebras from various perspectives. First we study covariantly finite, contravariantly finite, and functorially finite subcategories of the module category of a Morita ring when the bimodule homomorphisms \(\phi \) and \(\psi \) are zero. Further we give bounds for the global dimension of a Morita ring \(\Lambda _{(0,0)}\), as an Artin algebra, in terms of the global dimensions of A and B in the case when both \(\phi \) and \(\psi \) are zero. We illustrate our bounds with some examples. Finally we investigate when a Morita ring is a Gorenstein Artin algebra and then we determine all the Gorenstein-projective modules over the Morita ring \(\Lambda _{\phi ,\psi }\) in case \(A=N=M=B\) and A an Artin algebra.
