Finitistic dimensions in triangulated categories with a compact silting generator

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper studies finitistic dimensions in triangulated categories with a compact silting generator. We unify several notions of (big) finitistic dimension appearing in the literature, show that they are essentially equivalent, and relate them to the abelian heart when the generator is tilting. This yields a new categorical perspective on the finitistic dimension conjecture. Furthermore, we establish explicit inequalities for (big) finitistic and global dimensions under recollements, demonstrating that finiteness in the middle category is equivalent to finiteness in the outer categories. These results generalize classical ring-theoretic theorems and apply to triangular matrix rings, exact contexts and trivial extensions.
