Abstract Let and be left and right noetherian rings and U a Wakamatsu tilting module with = End(T ). We introduce a new definition of U -dominant dimensions and show that the U -dominant dimensions of U and U are identical. We characterize k-Gorenstein modules in terms of homological dimensions and the property of double homological functors preserving monomorphisms. We also study a generalization of k-Gorenstein modules, and characterize it in terms of some similar properties of k-Gorenstein modules. Subject classifications: 16E10, 16E30, 16D90. Keywords: U -dominant dimension, k-Gorenstein modules, Wakamatsu tilting modules, flat dimension.
