  Abstract:
Let (R,m) be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We exhibit certain modules T over R which test G-dimension of a finitely generated R-module M with finite G-dimension in the following sense: if ExtjG(M,T)=0 for all ji, where i is a positive integer, then G-dimRM < i. Modules with the property like T will be called Gorenstein test modules (G-test modules for short). It is known that R itself is a G-test module. We show that k, the residue field of R, also tests G-dimension. Some more examples of G-test modules are introduced. Finally we show that a dual statement is also true: k tests Gorenstein injective dimension, using appropriate cohomology.
