The Weak (Gorenstein) Global Dimension of Coherent Rings with Finite Small Finitistic Projective Dimension

The small finitistic dimension of a ring is determined as the supremum projective dimensions among modules with finite projective resolutions. This paper seeks to establish that, for a coherent ring $R$ with a finite weak (resp. Gorenstein) global dimension, the small finitistic dimension of $R$ is equal to its weak (resp. Gorenstein) global dimension. Consequently, we conclude some new characterizations for (Gorenstein) von Neumann and semihereditary rings.
