Abstract. ∇-good filtration dimensions of modules and of algebras are introduced by Parker for quasi-hereditary algebras. These concepts are now generalized to the setting of standardly stratified algebras. Let A be a standardly stratified algebra. The ∇-good filtration dimension of A is proved to be the projective dimension of the characteristic module of A. Several characterizations of ∇-good filtration dimensions and ∆-good filtration dimensions are given for properly stratified algebras. Finally we give an application of these results to the global dimensions of quasi-hereditary algebras with exact Borel subalgebra.
IntroductionAs generalizations of quasi-hereditary algebras, properly stratified algebras and standardly stratifed algebras have been introduced by Cline, Parshall, Scott Recently, in order to calculate the global dimension of the Schur algebra for GL 2 and GL 3 , Parker [13] introduced the notion of ∇-(or ∆-)good filtration dimension for a quasi-hereditary algebra. The aim of this note is to calculate these dimensions for standardly stratified algebras and properly stratified algebras.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 16E10, 16G20, 18G20.
