Introduction</title><p>Let A and B be rings an U a ( B , A ) -bimodule, T = ( A 0 U B ) is called a formal</p><p>triangular matrix ring with usual matrix addition and multiplication. This kind of ring is useful in the representation theory of algebras and ring theory. It is typically used to create examples and counterexamples, which add more examples and concreteness to the theory of rings and modules. Many authors have studied T in several directions. For example, Zhang [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref1">1</xref>] specifically described the Artin triangular matrix algebra with Gorenstein projective modules. Enochs, Izurdiaga and Torrecillas [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref2">2</xref>] characterized Gorenstein projective and injective modules over a triangular matrix ring. Mao [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref3">3</xref>] studied Gorenstein flat modules over T and provided a left global Gorenstein flat dimension estimate of T. Besides, he [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref4">4</xref>] studied cotorsion pairs and approximation classes over T.</p><p>This paper aims at investigating relative Ding projective modules and relative Ding projective dimension over T. Following is the organization of this paper.</p><p>In Section 2, we present some terminology as well as preliminary results.</p><p>In Section 3, we describe relative Ding projective modules over T. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) ∈ T -Mod and U be Ding C-compatible. Then a left T-module M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M is D C -projective if and only if M 1 is D C 1 -projective, Coker φ M is D C 2 -projective, and φ M : U ⊗ A M 1 → M 2 is injective.</p><p>In Section 4, we estimate the D C -projective dimension of a left T-module and the left global D C -projective dimension of T. It is proved that, given a left T-module M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , if C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) , U is Ding C-compatible, A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing, and S D C 2 - P D ( B ) = sup { D C 2 - p d B ( U ⊗ A D ) | D ∈ D C 1 P ( A ) } &lt; ∞ , then:</p><p>max { D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) , ( D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) − S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) } ≤ D C - p d ( M ) ≤ max { ( D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ) + ( S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ) + 1 , D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) } .</p><p>Consequently, we prove that,</p><p>max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } ≤ D C - P D ( T ) ≤ max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } .</p><p>So we establish a relationship between the relative Ding projective dimension of modules over T and modules over A and B.</p><p>All rings for this article are nonzero associative rings with identity, and all modules are unitary. Unless stated explicitly, all modules will serve as unital left R-modules. For a ring R, we write R-Mod (resp. Mod-R) for the category of left (resp. right) R-modules. For a left R-module C, we use Add<sub>R</sub>(C) (resp. add<sub>R</sub>(C)) to represent the class that contains all left R-modules that are isomorphic to direct summands of (resp. finite) direct sums of copies of C, and we use Prod<sub>R</sub>(C) to represent the class that contains all left R-modules that are isomorphic to direct summands of direct products of copies of C. P ( R ) and F ( R ) denote the classes of projective and flat left R-modules respectively. The character module Hom ℤ ( M , ℚ / ℤ ) of a module M is signed by M<sup>+</sup>.</p><p>Next, we will review some concepts and facts about formal triangular matrix rings. By [ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref5">5</xref>] , Theorem 1.5], T-Mod corresponds to the category Ω, whose objects are triples M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M , where M 1 ∈ A -Mod , M 2 ∈ B -Mod and φ M : U ⊗ A M 1 → M 2 is a B-morphism and whose morphisms from ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M to ( N 1 N 2 ) φ N are pairs ( f 1 f 2 ) such that f 1 ∈ Hom A ( M 1 , N 1 ) , f 2 ∈ Hom B ( M 2 , N 2 ) satisfying that the following diagram</p><disp-formula id="scirp.125866-formula7"><graphic  xlink:href="//html.scirp.org/file/8-1723237x38.png?20230627174445694"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>is commutative. Given a triple M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M in Ω, there is an A-morphism φ M ˜ : M 1 → Hom B ( U , M 2 ) given by φ M ˜ ( x ) ( u ) = φ M ( u ⊗ x ) for each u ∈ U , and x ∈ M 1 .</p><p>It is worth noting that a sequence 0 → ( M ′ 1 M ′ 2 ) φ M ′ → ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M → ( M ″ 1 M ″ 2 ) φ M ″ → 0 of left T-modules is exact if and only if both the sequences 0 → M ′ 1 → M 1 → M ″ 1 → 0 and 0 → M ′ 2 → M 2 → M ″ 2 → 0 are exact.</p><p>Throughout this article, T = ( A 0 U B ) is a formal triangular matrix ring.

Because D C - p d ( ( M 1 U ⊗ A M 1 ) ) ≤ n and D C - p d ( ( 0 M 2 ) ) ≤ n , D C 1 - p d ( M 1 ) ≤ n and D C 2 - p d ( M 2 ) ≤ n by Lemma 4.1. Consequently, D C 1 - P D ( A ) ≤ n and D C 2 - P D ( B ) ≤ n .</p><p>Secondly, we show that the right side of the inequality. Assume that:</p><p>m : = max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } &lt; ∞ .</p><p>Then D C 1 - P D ( A ) &lt; ∞ and S D C 2 - P D ( B ) ≤ D C 2 - P D ( B ) &lt; ∞ . Let M = ( M 1 M 2 ) φ M be a left T-module. According to Theorem 4.2, D C - p d ( M ) ≤ max { D C 1 - P D ( A ) + S D C 2 - P D ( B ) + 1 , D C 2 - P D ( B ) } .</p><p>Corollary 4.5. Assume that A C 1 and B C 2 are semidualizing. Let C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) and U Ding C-compatible. Then D C - P D ( T ) &lt; ∞ if and only if D C 1 - P D ( A ) &lt; ∞ and D C 2 - P D ( B ) &lt; ∞ .</p><p>Corollary 4.6. Assume that R C 1 is semidualizing. Let T ( R ) = ( R 0 R R ) and C = p ( C 1 , C 2 ) . Then D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) = D C 1 - P D ( R ) + 1 .</p><p>Proof. We know that R is Ding C-compatible and S D C 1 - P D ( R ) = 0 . Therefore by Theorem 4.4,</p><p>D C 1 - P D ( R ) ≤ D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) ≤ D C 1 - P D ( R ) + 1 .</p><p>It is obvious in the case D C 1 - P D ( R ) = ∞ . We may assume that n : = D C 1 - P D ( R ) &lt; ∞ . Then there exists a left R-module M with D C 1 - p d ( M ) = n and Ext R n ( M , X ) ≠ 0 for some X ∈ F C 1 ( R ) by [ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref12">12</xref>] , Theorem 2.4]. Now we consider an exact sequence in T ( R ) -Mod:</p><p>0 → ( 0 M ) → ( M M ) 1 M → ( M 0 ) → 0.</p><p>By applying the long exact sequence theorem to the preceding exact sequence, we obtain that</p><p>⋯ → Ext T ( R ) n ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) → Ext T ( R ) n ( ( 0 M ) , ( 0 X ) ) → Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M 0 ) , ( 0 X ) ) → Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) → ⋯ .</p><p>By [ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref10">10</xref>] , Lemma 3], we know that Ext T ( R ) i ≥ 1 ( ( M M ) , ( 0 X ) ) ≅ Ext R i ≥ 1 ( M ,0 ) = 0 .</p><p>Thus by [ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref10">10</xref>] , Lemma 3] and the above exact sequence,</p><p>Ext T ( R ) n ( ( 0 M ) , ( 0 X ) ) ≅ Ext T ( R ) n + 1 ( ( M 0 ) , ( 0 X ) ) ≅ Ext R n ( M , X ) ≠ 0.</p><p>As ( 0 X ) ∈ F C ( T ( R ) ) by Corollary 2.8, we have D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) &gt; n by [ [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.125866-ref12">12</xref>] , Theorem 2.4]. Besides, D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) ≤ D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) ≤ n + 1 . Thus D C - p d ( ( M 0 ) ) = n + 1 , which implies that D C - P D ( T ( R ) ) = n + 1 .&#168;</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This research was partially supported by NSFC (Grant No. 12061026), and NSF of Guangxi Province of China (Grant No. 2020GXNSFAA159120).</p><p>The authors thank the referee for the useful suggestions.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>The authors declare no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Fan, H.Y. and Tang, X.
