Aug 8, 2010 at 2:09 comment added ashpool Thanks. In the last step, what was the condition exactly that allowed you to conclude that $M$ is projective from $M$ being injective?
Aug 7, 2010 at 21:08 comment added Hailong Dao @kwan: here is a proof from top of my head, but there might be easier ones: replacing $M$ by high syzygy, can assume $M$ is max. Cohen-Macaulay. Then kill a full reg. seq., -> assume $R$ is Artinian. But then $M$ is injective, so projective.
Aug 7, 2010 at 20:33 comment added ashpool Thanks. The same method (of using minimal free resolution) doesn't seem to work to show the converse, if $A$ is Gorenstein and $M$ has a finite injective dimension then $M$ has a finite projective dimension. I tried to use finite injective resolution instead but it doesn't seem to work either. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Aug 7, 2010 at 18:08 comment added Hailong Dao @kwan: break the res. into short exact sequences and use the fact that if 2 modules have fi. inj. dim., so is the third one. For ref (without proof), look at "Cohen-Macaulay rings" 1st ed by Bruns-Herzog, Section 3.1, esp. exer. 3.1.25.
Aug 7, 2010 at 3:34 comment added ashpool I'm sorry, I still have no idea how to proceed. To begin with, if $A$ has a finite injective dimension and $M$ is projective over $A$, why does $M$ have a finite injective dimension? If you could point to any reference that would be great, too.
Aug 6, 2010 at 17:23 comment added Hailong Dao You can use induction on the length of the min. free res. of $M$, for instance.
Aug 6, 2010 at 16:10 comment added ashpool Thanks. How do I see that if $R$ has a finite injective dimension then finite projective dimension of $M$ implies finite injective dimension of $M$?
