Abstract
Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and let M be a finite (that is, finitely generated) R-module. The notion grade of M, grade M, has been introduced by Rees as the least integer t ≥ 0 such that Ext t R (M,R) ≠ 0, see Citation[11]. The Gorenstein dimension of M, G-dim M, has been introduced by Auslander as the largest integer t ≥ 0 such that Ext t R (M, R) ≠ 0, see Citation[3]. In this paper the R-module M is called G-perfect if grade M = G-dim M. It is a generalization of perfect module. We prove several results for the new concept similar to the classical results.
