One-Sided Gorenstein Subcategories

We introduce the right (left) Gorenstein subcategory relative to an additive subcategory $\C$ of an abelian category $\A$, and prove that the right Gorenstein subcategory $r\mathcal{G}(\mathscr{C})$ is closed under extensions, kernels of epimorphisms, direct summands and finite direct sums. When $\C$ is self-orthogonal, we give a characterization for objects in $r\mathcal{G}(\mathscr{C})$, and prove that any object in $\A$ with finite $r\mathcal{G}(\C)$-projective dimension is isomorphic to a kernel (resp. a cokernel) of a morphism from an object in $\A$ with finite $\C$-projective dimension to an object in $r\mathcal{G}(\C)$. As an application, we obtain a weak Auslander-Buchweitz context related to the kernel of a hereditary cotorsion pair in $\A$ having enough injectives.
