On $τ$-tilting subcategories

The main theme of this paper is to study $τ$-tilting subcategories in an abelian category $\mathscr{A}$ with enough projective objects. We introduce the notion of $τ$-cotorsion torsion triples and show a bijection between the collection of $τ$-cotorsion torsion triples in $\mathscr{A}$ and the collection of $τ$-tilting subcategories of $\mathscr{A}$, generalizing the bijection by Bauer, Botnan, Oppermann and Steen between the collection of cotorsion torsion triples and the collection of tilting subcategories of $\mathscr{A}$. General definitions and results are exemplified using persistent modules. If $\mathscr{A}={\rm{Mod\mbox{}}R}$, where $R$ is an unitary associative ring, we characterize all support $τ$-tilting, resp. all support $τ^-$-tilting, subcategories of ${\rm{Mod\mbox{}}R}$ in term of finendo quasitilting, resp. quasicotilting, modules. As a result, it will be shown that every silting module, respectively every cosilting module, induces a support $τ$-tilting, respectively support $τ^{-}$-tilting, subcategory of ${\rm{Mod\mbox{}}R}$. We also study the theory in ${\rm Rep}(Q, \mathscr{A})$, where $Q$ is a finite and acyclic quiver. In particular, we give an algorithm to construct support $τ$-tilting subcategories in ${\rm Rep}(Q, \mathscr{A})$ from certain support $τ$-tilting subcategories of $\mathscr{A}$ and present a systematic way to construct $(n+1)$-tilting subcategories in ${\rm Rep}(Q, \mathscr{A})$ from $n$-tilting subcategories in $\mathscr{A}$.
