Abelian Categories with Almost Split Sequences and Semiperfect Coalgebras 

 

ABSTRACT:  A description of hereditary abelian categories with right almost split sequences is an important part of the classification of noetherian hereditary abelian categories with Serre duality given by Reiten and Van den Bergh.  We characterize abelian categories of arbitrary homological dimension with left almost split sequences as certain categories of comodules over right semiperfect coalgebras. The work is joint with Reiten.
