Gorenstein Projective Dimensions of Modules over Minimal Auslander-Gorenstein Algebras

In this article we investigate the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of Λ-modules and their socles for re-minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras Λ.First we give a description of projective-injective Λ-modules in terms of their socles.Then we prove that a Λ-module N has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n if and only if its socle has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n if and only if N is cogenerated by a projective Λ-module.Furthermore,we show that n-minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras can be characterised by the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of modules and their socles.
