On ϕ-(weak) global dimension.

In this paper, we will introduce and study the homological dimensions defined in the context of commutative rings with prime nilradical. So all rings considered in this paper are commutative with identity and with prime nilradical. We will introduce a new class of modules which are called ϕ -u-projective which generalizes the projectivity in the classical case and which is different from those introduced by the authors of [Y. Pu, M. Wang and W. Zhao, On nonnil-commutative diagrams and nonnil-projective modules, Commun. Algebra, doi:10.1080/00927872.2021.2021223; W. Zhao, On ϕ -exact sequence and ϕ -projective module, J. Korean Math. 58(6) (2021) 1513–1528]. Using the notion of ϕ -flatness introduced and studied by the authors of [G. H. Tang, F. G. Wang and W. Zhao, On ϕ -Von Neumann regular rings, J. Korean Math. Soc. 50(1) (2013) 219–229] and the nonnil-injectivity studied by the authors of [W. Qi and X. L. Zhang, Some Remarks on ϕ -Dedekind rings and ϕ -Prüfer rings, preprint (2022), arXiv:2103.08278v2 [math.AC]; X. Y. Yang, Generalized Noetherian Property of Rings and Modules (Northwest Normal University Library, Lanzhou, 2006); X. L.

Zhao, Homological theory over NP-rings and its applications (Sichuan Normal University, Chengdu, 2013)], we will introduce the ϕ -injective dimension, ϕ -projective dimension and ϕ -flat dimension for modules, and also the ϕ -(weak) global dimension of rings. Then, using these dimensions, we characterize several ϕ -rings (ϕ -Prüfer, ϕ -chained, ϕ -von Neumann, etc). Finally, we study the ϕ -(weak) global dimension of the trivial ring extensions defined by some conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
