The realization problem for generalized torsion theories

Abstract

Understanding how torsion theories are described and constructed is crucial to the study of torsion theory. Mutations of torsion theories have been studied as a method of constructing another torsion theory from a given one. We have already obtained how to mutate ordinary torsion theories into generalized torsion theories associated with a Serre subcategory. The paper investigates when the generalized torsion theories give ordinary torsion theories and when ordinary torsion theories provide each other.
