For a finite dimensional algebra $Λ$ of finite representation type and an additive generator $M$ for $\mathrm{mod}\,Λ$, we investigate the properties of the Yoneda algebra $Γ=\bigoplus_{i \geq 0}\mathrm{Ext}_Λ^i(M,M)$. We show that $Γ$ is graded coherent and Gorenstein of self-injective dimension at most $1$, and the graded singularity category $\mathrm{D_{sg}^\mathbb{Z}}(Γ)$ of $Γ$ is triangle equivalent to the derived category of the stable Auslander algebra of $Λ$. These results remain valid for representation-infinite algebras. For this we introduce the Yoneda category $\mathcal{Y}$ of $Λ$ as the additive closure of the shifts of the $Λ$-modules in the derived category $\mathrm{D^b}(\mathrm{mod}\,Λ)$. We show that $\mathcal{Y}$ is coherent and Gorenstein of self-injective dimension at most $1$, and the singularity category of $\mathcal{Y}$ is triangle equivalent to the derived category $\mathrm{D^b}(\mathrm{mod}\,(\underline{\mathrm{mod}}\,Λ))$ of the stable category $\underline{\mathrm{mod}}\,Λ$. To give a triangle equivalence, we apply the theory of realization functors. We show that any algebraic triangulated category has an f-category over itself by formulating the filtered derived category of a DG category, which assures the existence of a realization functor.
In this article, a new construction of derived equivalences is given. It relates different endomorphism rings and more generally cohomological endomorphism rings - including higher extensions - of objects in triangulated categories. These objects need to be connected by certain universal maps that are cohomological approximations and that exist in very general circumstances. The construction turns out to be applicable in a wide variety of situations, covering finite dimensional algebras as well as certain infinite dimensional algebras, Frobenius categories and $n$-Calabi-Yau categories.
For a noetherian ring $Λ$, the stabilization functor in the sense of Krause yields an embedding of the singularity category of $Λ$ into the homotopy category of acyclic complexes of injective $Λ$-modules. When $Λ$ contains a semisimple artinian subring $E$, we give an explicit description of the stabilization functor using the Hom complexes in the $E$-relative singular Yoneda dg category of $Λ$.
In this paper we focus on the relations between the derived categories of a Koszul algebra and its Yoneda algebra, in particular we want to consider the cases where these categories are triangularly equivalent. We prove that the simply connected Koszul algebras are derived equivalent to their Yoneda algebras. We consider derived discrete Koszul algebras, and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for these Koszul algebras to be derived equivalent to their Yoneda algebras. Finally, we look at the Koszul algebras such that they are derived equivalent to a hereditary algebra. In the case tha…
In this paper, we consider $n$-perforated Yoneda algebras for $n$-angulated categories, and show that, under some conditions, $n$-angles induce derived equivalences between the quotient algebras of $n$-perforated Yoneda algebras. This result generalizes some results of Hu, König and Xi. And it also establishes a connection between higher cluster theory and derived equivalences. Namely, in a cluster tilting subcategory of a triangulated category, an Auslander-Reiten $n$-angle implies a derived equivalence between two quotient algebras. This result can be compared with the fact that an Auslander…
We study certain Schur functors which preserve singularity categories of rings and we apply them to study the singularity category of triangular matrix rings. In particular, combining these results with Buchweitz-Happel's theorem, we can describe singularity categories of certain non-Gorenstein rings via the stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules. Three concrete examples of finite-dimensional algebras with the same singularity category are discussed.
Let $Λ= \left[\begin{array}{cc} A & 0 \\ M & B \end{array}\right] $ be an Artin algebra and $_BM_A$ a $B$-$A$-bimodule. We prove that there is a triangle equivalence $D_{sg}(Λ) \cong D_{sg}(A)\coprod D_{sg}(B)$ between the corresponding singularity categories if $_BM$ is semi-simple and $M_A$ is projective. As a result, we obtain a new method for describing the singularity categories of certain bounded quiver algebras.
We determine the singularity category of an arbitrary finite dimensional gentle algebra $Λ$. It is a finite product of $n$-cluster categories of type $\mathbb{A}_{1}$. Equivalently, it may be described as the stable module category of a selfinjective gentle algebra. If $Λ$ is a Jacobian algebra arising from a triangulation $\ct$ of an unpunctured marked Riemann surface, then the number of factors equals the number of inner triangles of $\ct$.
We introduce the notion of relative singularity category with respect to any self-orthogonal subcategory $ω$ of an abelian category. We introduce the Frobenius category of $ω$-Cohen-Macaulay objects, and under some reasonable conditions, we show that the stable category of $ω$-Cohen-Macaulay objects is triangle-equivalent to the relative singularity category. As applications, we relate the stable category of (unnecessarily finitely-generated) Gorenstein-projective modules with singularity categories of rings. We prove that for a Gorenstein ring, the stable category of Gorenstein-projective mod…
We investigate the behavior of singularity categories and stable categories of Gorenstein projective modules along a morphism of rings. The natural context to approach the problem is via change of rings, that is, the classical adjoint triple between the module categories. In particular, we identify conditions on the change of rings to induce functors between the two singularity categories or the two stable categories of Gorenstein projective modules. Moreover, we study this problem at the level of `big singularity categories' in the sense of Krause. Along the way we establish an explicit const…
We study the properties of the relative derived category $D_{\mathscr{C}}^{b}$($\mathscr{A}$) of an abelian category $\mathscr{A}$ relative to a full and additive subcategory $\mathscr{C}$. In particular, when $\mathscr{A}=A{\text -}\mod$ for a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ over a field and $\mathscr{C}$ is a contravariantly finite subcategory of $A$-$\mod$ which is admissible and closed under direct summands, the $\mathscr{C}$-singularity category $D_{\mathscr{C}{\text sg}}$($\mathscr{A}$)=$D_{\mathscr{C}}^{b}$($\mathscr{A}$)/$K^{b}(\mathscr{C})$ is studied. We give a sufficient condition wh…
In this paper, we use the stable categories of some selfinjective algebras to describe the singularity categories of the cluster-tilted algebras of Dynkin type. Furthermore, in this way, we settle the problem of singularity equivalence classification of the cluster-tilted algebra of type $A$, $D$ and $E$ respectively.
We show that for the path algebra $A$ of an acyclic quiver, the singularity category of the derived category $\mathsf{D}^{\rm b}(\mathsf{mod}\,A)$ is triangle equivalent to the derived category of the functor category of $\underline{\mathsf{mod}}\,A$, that is, $\mathsf{D}_{\rm sg}(\mathsf{D}^{\rm b}(\mathsf{mod}\,A))\simeq \mathsf{D}^{\rm b}(\mathsf{mod}(\underline{\mathsf{mod}}\,A))$. This extends a result of Iyama-Oppermann for the path algebra $A$ of a Dynkin quiver. An important step is to establish a functor category analog of Happel's triangle equivalence for repetitive algebras.
We show the existence of tilting objects in the singularity category $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{ Sg}}^{\mathsf{ gr}}(eAe)$ associated to certain noetherian AS-regular algebras $A$ and idempotents $e$. This gives a triangle equivalence between $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{ Sg}}^{\mathsf{ gr}}(eAe)$ and the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra. In particular, we obtain a tilting object if the Beilinson algebra of $A$ is a levelled Koszul algebra. This generalises the existence of a tilting object in $\mathsf{D}_{\mathsf{ Sg}}^{\mathsf{ gr}}(S^G)$, where $S$ is a Koszul AS-regular algebra and $G$ i…
We consider the relationship between the relative stable category of Benson, Iyengar, and Krause and the usual singularity category for group algebras with coefficients in a commutative noetherian ring. When the coefficient ring is self-injective we show that these categories share a common, relatively large, Verdier quotient. At the other extreme, when the coefficient ring has finite global dimension, there is a semi-orthogonal decomposition, due to Poulton, relating the two categories. We prove that this decomposition is partially compatible with the monoidal structure and study the morphism…
We study the relationship between singularity categories and relative singularity categories and discuss constructions of differential graded algebras of relative singularity categories. As consequences, we obtain structural results, which are known or generalise known results, on singularity categories of algebras with radical square zero, of non-commutative deformations of Kleinian singularities, of $SL_3(\mathbb{C})$-quotient singularities and of Gorenstein toric threefolds.
Given a negatively graded Calabi-Yau algebra, we regard it as a DG algebra with vanishing differentials and study its cluster category. We show that this DG algebra is sign-twisted Calabi-Yau, and realize its cluster category as a triangulated hull of an orbit category of a derived category, and as the singularity category of a finite dimensional Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebra. Along the way, we give two results which stand on their own. First, we show that the derived category of coherent sheaves over a Calabi-Yau algebra has a natural cluster tilting subcategory whose dimension is determined by …
In this paper, we consider the singularity category $D_{sg}(\mod A)$ and the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded singularity category $D_{sg}(\mod^{\mathbb Z} A)$ for a Gorenstein monomial algebra $A$. Firstly, for a positively graded $1$-Gorenstein algebra, we prove that its ${\mathbb Z}$-graded singularity category admits silting objects. Secondly, for $A=KQ/I$ being a Gorenstein monomial algebra, we prove that $D_{sg}(\mod^{\mathbb Z} A)$ has tilting objects. As a consequence, $D_{sg}(\mod^{\mathbb Z}A)$ is triangulated equivalent to the derived category of a hereditary algebra $H$ which is of finite repre…
Let $R$ be a right notherian ring. We introduce the concept of relative singularity category $Δ_{\mathcal{X}}(R)$ of $R$ with respect to a contravariantly finite subcategory $\mathcal{X}$ of $\rm{mod}\mbox{-}R.$ Along with some finiteness conditions on $\mathcal{X}$, we prove that $Δ_{\mathcal{X}}(R)$ is triangle equivalent to a subcategory of the homotopy category $\mathbb{K}_{\rm{ac}}(\mathcal{X})$ of exact complexes over $\mathcal{X}$. As an application, a new description of the classical singularity category $\mathbb{D}_{\rm{sg}}(R)$ is given. The relative singularity categories are applie…
We study singularity categories through Gorenstein objects in triangulated categories and silting theory. Let $ω$ be a semi-selforthogonal (or presilting) subcategory of a triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$. We introduce the notion of $ω$-Gorenstein objects, which is far extended version of Gorenstein projective modules and Gorenstein injective modules in triangulated categories. We prove that the stable category $\underline{\mathcal{G}_ω}$, where $\mathcal{G}_ω$ is the subcategory of all $ω$-Gorenstein objects, is a triangulated category and it is, under some conditions, triangle equivalent …
Let $\X$ be a resolving subcategory of an abelian category. In this paper we investigate the singularity category $\ds(\underline\X)=\db(\mod\underline\X)/\kb(\proj(\mod\underline\X))$ of the stable category $\underline\X$ of $\X$. We consider when the singularity category is triangle equivalent to the stable category of Gorenstein projective objects, and when the stable categories of two resolving subcategories have triangle equivalent singularity categories. Applying this to the module category of a Gorenstein ring, we characterize simple hypersurface singularities of type $(\a_1)$ as comple…
We prove that a certain homological epimorphism between two algebras induces a triangle equivalence between their singularity categories. Applying the result to a construction of matrix algebras, we describe the singularity categories of some non-Gorenstein algebras.
We define a class of finite-dimensional Jacobian algebras, which are called (simple) polygon-tree algebras, as a generalization of cluster-tilted algebras of type $\D$. They are $2$-CY-tilted algebras. Using a suitable process of mutations of quivers with potentials (which are also BB-mutations) inducing derived equivalences, and one-pointed (co)extensions which preserve singularity equivalences, we find a connected selfinjective Nakayama algebra whose stable category is equivalent to the singularity category of a simple polygon-tree algebra. Furthermore, we also give a classification of algeb…
We present a method for computing $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariants of singularity categories of rings admitting suitable gradings. Using this we describe any such invariant, e.g. homotopy K-theory, for the stable categories of self-injective algebras admitting a connected grading. A remark is also made concerning the vanishing of all such invariants for cluster categories of type $A_{2n}$ quivers.
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $(Q,Sp,I)$ be a skewed-gentle triple, $(Q^{sg},I^{sg})$ and $(Q^g,I^{g})$ be its corresponding skewed-gentle pair and associated gentle pair respectively. It proves that the skewed-gentle algebra $KQ^{sg}/< I^{sg}>$ is singularity equivalent to $KQ/< I>$. Moreover, we use $(Q,Sp,I)$ to describe the singularity category of $KQ^g/< I^g>$. As a corollary, we get that $\mathrm{gldim} KQ^{sg}/< I^{sg}><\infty$ if and only if $\mathrm{gldim} KQ/< I><\infty$ if and only if $\mathrm{gldim} KQ^{g}/< I^{g}><\infty$.
In this paper we show that the (un)bounded derived categories$\colon$(i) of the monomorphism category, (ii) of the morphism category and (iii) of the double morphism category, admit a periodic infinite ladder of recollements. These results are based on a characterization that we provide for a recollement of (compactly generated) triangulated categories to admit a ladder of some height going either upwards or downwards. Moreover, we introduce and study the singularity category of the monomorphism category over an Artin algebra $Λ$ and show that there is a periodic infinite ladder that connects …
This paper gives upper bounds for the dimension of the singularity category of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with an isolated singularity. One of them recovers an upper bound given by Ballard, Favero and Katzarkov in the case of a hypersurface.
The singularity category of a ring makes only the modules of finite projective dimension vanish among the modules, so the singularity category is expected to characterize a homological property of modules of infinite projective dimension. In this paper, among such modules, we deal with eventually periodic modules over a left artin ring, and, as our main result, we characterize them in terms of morphisms in the singularity category. As applications, we first prove that, for the class of finite dimensional algebras over a field, being eventually periodic is preserved under singular equivalence o…
Let $T=(A,M,0,B)$ be a triangular matrix algebra with its corner algebras $A$ and $B$ Artinian and $_AM_B$ an $A$-$B$-bimodule. The 2-recollement structures for singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories over $T$ are studied. Under mild assumptions, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of 2-recollements of singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories over $T$ relative to those of $A$ and $B$. Parts of our results strengthen and unify the corresponding work in [27,28,34].
We construct a differential graded algebra (DGA) modelling certain $A_\infty$ algebras associated with a finite group $G$ with cyclic Sylow subgroups, namely $H^*BG$ and $H_*ΩBG^{^\wedge}_p$. We use our construction to investigate the singularity and cosingularity categories of these algebras. We give a complete classification of the indecomposables in these categories, and describe the Auslander--Reiten quiver. The theory applies to Brauer tree algebras in arbitrary characteristic, and we end with an example in characteristic zero coming from the Hecke algebras of symmetric groups.
In this article we construct various models for singularity categories of modules over differential graded rings. The main technique is the connection between abelian model structures, cotorsion pairs and deconstructible classes, and our constructions are based on more general results about localization and transfer of abelian model structures. We indicate how recollements of triangulated categories can be obtained model categorically, discussing in detail Krause's recollement for the stable derived category. In the special case of curved mixed Z-graded complexes, we show that one of our singu…
In this note we use results of Minamoto and Amiot, Iyama, Reiten to construct an embedding of the graded singularity category of certain graded Gorenstein algebras into the derived categories of coherent sheaves over its projective scheme. These graded algebras are constructed using the preprojective algebras of $d$-representation infinite algebras as defined by Herschend, Iyama and Oppermann. We relate this embedding to the construction of a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of coherent sheaves over the projective scheme of a Gorenstein algebra of parameter 1 described by …
We study the following generalization of singularity categories. Let X be a quasi-projective Gorenstein scheme with isolated singularities and A a non-commutative resolution of singularities of X in the sense of Van den Bergh. We introduce the relative singularity category as the Verdier quotient of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on A modulo the category of perfect complexes on X. We view it as a measure for the difference between X and A. The main results of this thesis are the following. (i) We prove an analogue of Orlov's localization result in our setup. If X has isolated…
This book is an introduction to 2-categories and bicategories, assuming only the most elementary aspects of category theory. A review of basic category theory is followed by a systematic discussion of 2-/bicategories, pasting diagrams, lax functors, 2-/bilimits, the Duskin nerve, 2-nerve, adjunctions and monads in bicategories, 2-monads, biequivalences, the Bicategorical Yoneda Lemma, and the Coherence Theorem for bicategories. Grothendieck fibrations and the Grothendieck construction are discussed next, followed by tricategories, monoidal bicategories, the Gray tensor product, and double cate…
Given a locally coherent Grothendieck category G, we prove that the homotopy category of complexes of injective objects (also known as the coderived category of G) is compactly generated triangulated. Moreover, the full subcategory of compact objects is none other than D^b(fp G). If G admits a generating set of finitely presentable objects of finite projective dimension, then also the derived category of G is compactly generated and Krause's recollement exists. Our main tools are (a) model theoretic techniques and (b) a systematic study of the pure derived category of an additive finitely acce…
For an exact category $\mathcal{E}$ with enough projectives and with a $d\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory, we show that the singularity category of $\mathcal{E}$ admits a $d\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory. To do this we introduce cluster tilting subcategories of left triangulated categories, and we show that there is a correspondence between cluster tilting subcategories of $\mathcal{E}$ and $\underline{\mathcal{E}}$. We also deduce that the Gorenstein projectives of $\mathcal{E}$ admit a $d\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory under some assumptions. Finally, we compute the $…
We construct a triangle equivalence between the singularity categories of two isolated cyclic quotient singularities of Krull dimensions two and three, respectively. This is the first example of a singular equivalence involving connected commutative algebras of odd and even Krull dimension. In combination with Orlov's localization result, this gives further singular equivalences between certain quasi-projective varieties of dimensions two and three, respectively.
For an essentially small triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$, we introduce the notion of prime thick subcategories and define the spectrum of $\mathcal{T}$, which shares the basic properties with the spectrum of a tensor triangulated category introduced by Balmer. We mainly focus on triangulated categories that appear in algebraic geometry such as the derived and the singularity categories of a noetherian scheme $X$. We prove that certain classes of thick subcategories are prime thick subcategories of these triangulated categories. Furthermore, we use this result to show that certain subspaces…
