Let R be a commutative ring, Γ,be a group, and Γ, ′,,Γ,be a subgroup of finite index. In this paper, we study the class of Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein cotorsion) modules over the group ring RΓ, . In particular, we discuss the relationship between Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein cotorsion) dimension of RΓ, −, modules and that of RΓ, ′, −, modules. We will prove that, for any RΓ, −, module M of finite Gorenstein flat dimension (GfdRΓ, M < 1 ), there is an inequality GfdRΓ, M ⩽,GfdRM + hdRΓ, , where hdRΓ,denotes the homological dimension of Γ,over R. Analogously, we prove that if Γ,is finite, there is an inequality GctdRΓ, M ⩽,GctdRM + cdRΓ, , where GctdRΓ, M (GctdRM) is the Gorenstein cotorsion dimension of module M over RΓ,(resp. over R) and cdRΓ,is the cohomological dimension of Γ,over R.
