We prove that finitely generated n-SG-projective modules are infinitely presented.

Given a semiperfect two-sided noetherian ring Λ, we study two subcategories ${}_k\left(\Lambda \right)=M\in mod\Lambda |Ex{t}_{\Lambda }^j(TrM,\Lambda )=0\left(1\le j\le k\right)$ and ${}_k\left(\Lambda \right)=N\in mod\Lambda |Ex{t}_{\Lambda }^j(N,\Lambda )=0\left(1\le j\le k\right)$ of the category mod Λ of finitely generated right Λ-modules, where Tr M is Auslander’s transpose of M. In particular, we give another convenient description of the categories ${}_k\left(\Lambda \right)$ and ${}_k\left(\Lambda \right)$, and we study category equivalences and stable equivalences between them. Several results proved in [J. Algebra 301 (2006), 748-780] are extended to the case when Λ is a two-sided noetherian semiperfect ring.

Given an object in a category, we study its orbit algebra with respect to an endofunctor. We show that if the object is periodic, then its orbit algebra modulo nilpotence is a polynomial ring in one variable. This specializes to a result on Ext-algebras of periodic modules over Gorenstein algebras. We also obtain a criterion for an algebra to be of wild representation type.
