Abstract

Extriangulated category was introduced by H. Nakaoka and Y. Palu to give a unification of properties in exact categories and triangulated categories. A notion of tilting (resp., cotilting) subcategories in an extriangulated category is defined in this paper. We give a Bazzoni characterization of tilting (resp., cotilting) subcategories and obtain an Auslander-Reiten correspondence between tilting (resp., cotilting) subcategories and coresolving covariantly (resp., resolving contravariantly) finite subcatgories which are closed under direct summands and satisfy some cogenerating (resp., generating) conditions. Applications of the results are given: we show that tilting (resp., cotilting) subcategories defined here unify many previous works about tilting modules (subcategories) in module categories of Artin algebras and in abelian categories admitting a cotorsion triples; we also show that the results work for the triangulated categories with a proper class of triangles introduced by A. Beligiannis.
