On Artin algebras arising from Morita contexts

We study Morita rings $Λ_{(ϕ,ψ)}=\bigl({smallmatrix} A &_AN_B_BM_A & B {smallmatrix}\bigr)$ in the context of Artin algebras from various perspectives. First we study covariant finite, contravariant finite, and functorially finite subcategories of the module category of a Morita ring when the bimodule homomorphisms $ϕ$ and $ψ$ are zero. Further we give bounds for the global dimension of a Morita ring $Λ_{(0,0)}$, regarded as an Artin algebra, in terms of the global dimensions of $A$ and $B$ in the case when both $ϕ$ and $ψ$ are zero. We illustrate our bounds with some examples. Finally we investigate when a Morita ring is a Gorenstein Artin algebra and then we determine all the Gorenstein-projective modules over the Morita ring with $A=N=M=B=Λ$, where $Λ$ is an Artin algebra.
