Let
$\mathscr{C}$
be a
$(d+2)$
-angulated category with d-suspension functor
$\Sigma^d$
. Our main results show that every Serre functor on
$\mathscr{C}$
is a
$(d+2)$
-angulated functor. We also show that
$\mathscr{C}$
has a Serre functor
$\mathbb{S}$
if and only if
$\mathscr{C}$
has Auslander–Reiten
$(d+2)$
-angles. Moreover,
$\tau_d=\mathbb{S}\Sigma^{-d}$
where
$\tau_d$
is d-Auslander–Reiten translation. These results generalize work by Bondal–Kapranov and Reiten–Van den Bergh. As an application, we prove that for a strongly functorially finite subcategory
$\mathscr{X}$
of
$\mathscr{C}$
, the quotient category
$\mathscr{C}/\mathscr{X}$
is a
$(d+2)$
-angulated category if and only if
$(\mathscr{C},\mathscr{C})$
is an
$\mathscr{X}$
-mutation pair, and if and only if
$\tau_d\mathscr{X} =\mathscr{X}$
.
