Throughout this paper we assume that all modules are finitely generated over an artin algebra L!. We denote by mod/i the category of all finitely generated/i-modules.The notions of contravariantly and covariantly finite subcategories of mod/i (see Sect. 1 for definitions) were introduced in [8, 9] by Auslander and Smals in connection with studying the problem of which subcategories of mod n have almost split sequences. While subcategories of mod n which are either covariantly or contravariantly finite in mod n are also the main objects of study in this paper, the point of view is quite different from [S] or [9]. Here we show that these notions are intimately related to questions about (a) the subcategory pm (n) of mod/i consisting of the modules of finite projective dimension and (b) tilting and cotilting theories. As far as ga (, 4) is concerned, two problems are discussed: when is Y’“(A) contravariantly finite in mod/i and what does its being contravariantly finite imply about 9=(/l)? If/i is of finite representation type, then Y”(A) is contravariantly finite since every subcategory of mod n is contravariantly finite. In fact, n is of finite representation type if and only if every subcategory of mod/i is contravariantly (covariantly) finite in mod/i (see Prop. 1.2). We also show that L?“(A) is contravariantly finite when n is stably equivalent to a hereditary algebra. However, an example due to Igusa et al.[13] shows that Y’“(n) is not always contravariantly finite in mod A. It is not hard to see that.!?“(A) is contravariantly finite in mod/i if and only if Yp”(T,(n)) is contravariantly finite in mod T,(n), where T2 (n)=(,” z). A more general result is proved by Smalo in [181. Combining these observations we get a very wide variety of algebras A
