study of non-commutative analogues of Gorenstein rings. A noetherian ring A, which is not necessarily
commutative, satisfies the Auslander condition if there exists an injective coresolution
(0.0.1) 0 →A→I0→I1→ · · ·
of the right module Asuch that the flat dimension of Iiis bounded by ifor all i≥0. This condition
is left-right symmetric, and there are many other equivalent conditions. If, additionally, Ahas finite
injective dimension, Ais said to be Auslander-Gorenstein, and if Ahas finite global dimension, Ais
said to be Auslander-regular. These algebras play important roles in various areas, including homological
algebra, non-commutative algebraic geometry, analytic D-modules, Lie theory and combinatorics, see for
example [AR, Bj, Cl, IM, KMM, VO].
The classical Auslander correspondence [A, ARS] is a milestone in representation theory which gives a
bijective correspondence between representation-finite artin algebras Band Auslander algebras A, which
are by definition the artin algebras Awith gldim A≤2≤domdim A, where domdim Xof an A-module
Xwith minimal injective coresolution
0→X→I0→I1→ · · ·
is the infimum of i≥0 such that Iiis non-projective. This was one of the starting points of Auslander-
Reiten theory developed in the 1970s. It encodes the representation theory of Binto the homological
algebra of its Auslander algebra A. More generally, algebras Asatisfying gldim A≤d≤domdim Aare
called (d−1)-Auslander algebras for each d≥0, and there exists a bijective correspondence (called the
higher Auslander correspondence) between d-cluster tilting modules Mover finite dimensional algebras
B(see (1.4.3)) and d-Auslander algebras for each d≥1 given by M7→ A= EndB(M) [I5]. Finite
dimensional algebras Bwith gldim A≤dadmitting d-cluster tilting modules are called d-representation
finite. These notions are central in higher Auslander-Reiten theory of finite dimensional algebras and
Cohen-Macaulay representations [I4].
A further generalisation of the Auslander correspondence to algebras with infinite global dimension
was established recently in [IS], building upon [AS]. In this setting, Auslander algebras are replaced
by minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras, which are algebras Awith idim A≤d≤domdim Afor
some d≥0. Similar to the higher Auslander correspondence, we have A≃EndB(M) for some finite
dimensional algebra Band a precluster tilting B-module M. Several applications and interactions with
other fields are found; these include cluster algebras of Fomin-Zelevinsky [FZ] and non-commutative
crepant desingularisations in algebraic geometry [Van], see also [AT, DI, DJL, DJW, GI, IO1, IO2, JKM,
Han, HS, HI1, HI2, HZ1, HZ2, HZ3, JK, Mi, P, S, ST, Vas, Wi, Wu] and [CIM1, CK, DITW, HKV,
Grev, LMZ, LZ, MS, MMZ, Mc, NRTZ, PS, Rin, Z].
The first aim of this paper is to introduce dominant Auslander-Gorenstein algebras, a generalisation
of higher Auslander algebras as well as minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras. A dominant Auslander-
Gorenstein algebra Ais an Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebra Asuch that idim P≤domdim Pholds for every
indecomposable projective A-module P. A dominant Auslander-regular algebra is then defined to be
a dominant Auslander-Gorenstein algebra with finite global dimension. We refer to Theorem 2.7 and
Section 3 for other equivalent characterisations of dominant Auslander-regular algebras.

The class of dominant Auslander-Gorenstein algebras is much larger than that of minimal Auslander-
Gorenstein algebras, and still enjoys extremely nice homological properties among all Auslander-
Gorenstein algebras. One of the advantages of dominant Auslander-regular algebras is that they are
closed under gluing of algebras (Section 6) and Koszul duality [CIM2] while higher Auslander algebras
are not so in general.
One of our main results gives the Auslander correspondence for dominant Auslander-Gorenstein al-
gebras. For this, we generalise the notion of cluster tilting modules as follows: For an algebra B, we
consider the higher Auslander-Reiten translates
τn:= τΩn−1and τ−
n:= τ−1Ω−(n−1).
Then a generator-cogenerator Mof Bis called mixed precluster tilting if the following condition is satisfied.
