Given an hereditary torsion theory $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{F})$ on an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, how we can relate this to a localization (i.e Ore localization). This is mentioned with not so much detail or with a lot of encyclopedic references (hard to follow), in a lot of books and papers concerning torsion theory. Still dont see how given an hereditary torsion theory $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{F})$ we can produce a subclass of morphism $W \subset \mathcal{A}$ such that there is a pair $(T, C_{W})$ where $T:C \to C_{W}$ is a universal functor and $C_{W}$ is at least an additive category. And where $T(w)$ is and isomorphism in $C_{W}$ for each morphism $w \in W$. Also, viceversa, given a localization like mentioned before...How we can produce a torsion theory?

Also when $T$ is a triangulated torsion and $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{F})$ is an hereditary torsion in a triangulated category how can we produce a localization of $T$ over subclass of morphisms $W \subset Mor(T)$ like the one mentioned before and $T_{W}$ preserves the triangulated structure of $T$. The same doubt for the converse process.

    $\begingroup$ The go-to reference for this kind of stuff, in general categories (but largely specialised to the additive/abelian setting) is Cassidy, Hébert and Kelly's paper. I had a good understanding of this stuff at the times. Feel free to ask more specific questions! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @fosco Thanks so so much for your article recommendation. I'm checking it out and I want to follow the last part when he establish a bijection on an abelian category between their hereditary torsion theories and localizations. I follow her definition of an (hereditary) torsion theory but Its not so clear(at least for me) what he understands as a localization. How his definition of a localization is the same like this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localization_of_a_category $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @fosco Its my belief they are understanding a localization as some sort of reflection or adjunction, right? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Yes. A thorough introduction to localisation of categories and in particular to the special case of reflective localisations, is in the first tome of Borceux's handbook. It would take too much time to expand :-) $\endgroup$
