Large silting mutation in extriangulated categories

Abstract

Silting mutation in triangulated categories, both at the level of objects and of subcategories, was introduced in arXiv:1009.3370, and later generalized to extriangulated categories in arXiv:2303.08125. It simultaneously encompasses the mutation theories of cluster-tilting objects in cluster theory and of compact 2-term silting complexes and support $\tau$-tilting modules in $\tau$-tilting theory. In this article, we develop an infinite-dimensional analog of silting mutation in extriangulated categories with set-indexed (co)products, which we then apply to obtain a theory of mutation for $n$-cosilting complexes over an arbitrary ring, as well as for infinite-dimensional $n$-(co)tilting modules over a ring of finite global dimension. The former theory is also shown to reinterpret the cosilting mutation introduced in arXiv:2201.02147.
