Dominant dimension and tilting modules

We study which algebras have tilting modules that are both generated and cogenerated by projective–injective modules. Crawley–Boevey and Sauter have shown that Auslander algebras have such tilting modules; and for algebras of global dimension 2, Auslander algebras are classified by the existence of such tilting modules. In this paper, we show that the existence of such a tilting module is equivalent to the algebra having dominant dimension at least 2, independent of its global dimension. In general such a tilting module is not necessarily cotilting. Here, we show that the algebras which have a tilting–cotilting module generated–cogenerated by projective–injective modules are precisely 1-minimal Auslander–Gorenstein algebras. When considering such a tilting module, without the assumption that it is cotilting, we study the global dimension of its endomorphism algebra, and discuss a connection with the Finitistic Dimension Conjecture. Furthermore, as special cases, we show that triangular matrix algebras obtained from Auslander algebras and certain injective modules, have such a tilting module. We also give a description of which Nakayama algebras have such a tilting module.
