Ideal $n$-cotorsion pairs in Frobenius extriangulated categories

Motivated by the correspondence between ideal cotorsion pairs in Frobenius exact categories and those in their stable categories, we introduce the notion of an ideal $n$-cotorsion pair in an extriangulated category. We study the relationship between ideal $n$-cotorsion pairs in a Frobenius extriangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ and those in its stable category $\underset{‾}{\mathcal{C}}=\mathcal{C}\mathrm{/}\omega$. Our main result shows that $(\mathcal{I},\mathcal{J})$ is an ideal $n$-cotorsion pair in $\mathcal{C}$ if and only if $(\mathcal{I}\mathrm{/}\omega ,\mathcal{J}\mathrm{/}\omega )$ is an ideal $n$-cotorsion pair in $\underset{‾}{\mathcal{C}}$. This provides a bridge between higher ideal approximation theory in Frobenius extriangulated categories and its counterpart in their stable categories. Additionally, in Krull–Schmidt exact categories, we establish a bijective correspondence between complete cotorsion pairs and complete ideal cotorsion pairs, answering a question of Fu, Guil Asensio, Herzog and Torrecillas.
