Abelian Model Structures on Comma Categories

Abstract

Let A and B be bicomplete Abelian categories, which both have enough projectives and injectives and let T : A → B be a right exact functor. Under certain mild conditions, we show that hereditary Abelian model structures on A and B can be amalgamated into a global hereditary Abelian model structure on the comma category (T ↓ B). As an application of this result, we give an explicit description of a subcategory that consists of all trivial objects of the Gorenstein flat model structure on the category of modules over a triangular matrix ring.
