Igusa-Todorov properties of recollements of abelian categories

TL;DR
This work studies how Igusa-Todorov properties, encoded by $(m,n)$-Igusa-Todorov structures and the $IT.dist$ distance, behave under recollements of abelian categories. The authors develop a framework to transfer $IT$-type finiteness across a recollement, deriving bounds for the middle category’s $IT.dist$ in terms of the outer categories under exactness hypotheses, and then apply these results to Artin algebras, Morita context rings, and idempotent-induced recollements. Key contributions include general theorems bounding $IT.dist(\mathscr{B})$ by $IT.dist(\mathscr{A})$ and $IT.dist(\mathscr{C})$, plus concrete corollaries for algebras built from idempotents and Morita contexts, and examples involving triangular matrix rings. The findings offer a practical pathway to deduce homological finiteness properties of a complex algebra from its components, with implications for representation theory and the study of singularity categories.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of Igusa-Todorov properties under recollements of abelian categories. In particular, we study how the Igusa-Todorov distances of the categories involved in a recollement are related. Applications are given to Artin algebras, especially to Morita context rings.
