Let $C$ be an additive category with cokernels and let Mod($C$) be the category of additive functors from $C^{op}$ to the category Ab of abelian groups. Let mod($C$) be the full subcategory of Mod($C$) consisting of coherent functors. In this paper, we first study some basic properties of pseudo-kernel of morphisms in $C$. When $C$ has pseudo-kernels, mod($C$) is abelian and then, in this case, we study radical functors, half exact functors, left exact functors and injective objects in mod($C$). At last, we extend the results for Mod($C$).
Let R be a ring and let T be a hereditary torsion class of R-modules. The inclusion of the localizing subcategory generated by T into the derived category of R has a right adjoint, which is a colocalization. Benson has recently shown how to compute this right sdjoint when R is the group ring of a finite group over a prime field and T is the hereditary torsion class generated by a simple module. We generalize Benson's construction to the case where T is any hereditary torsion class on R. This yields an explicit formula for the colocalization with respect to T, using an injective cogenerator for…
Protoadditive functors are designed to replace additive functors in a non-abelian setting. Their properties are studied, in particular in relationship with torsion theories, Galois theory, homology and factorisation systems. It is shown how a protoadditive torsion-free reflector induces a chain of derived torsion theories in the categories of higher extensions, similar to the Galois structures of higher central extensions previously considered in semi-abelian homological algebra. Such higher central extensions are also studied, with respect to Birkhoff subcategories whose reflector is protoadd…
In the preceding part (I) of this paper, we showed that for any torsion pair (i.e., $t$-structure without the shift-closedness) in a triangulated category, there is an associated abelian category, which we call the heart. Two extremal cases of torsion pairs are $t$-structures and cluster tilting subcategories. If the torsion pair comes from a $t$-structure, then its heart is nothing other than the heart of this $t$-structure. In this case, as is well known, by composing certain adjoint functors, we obtain a cohomological functor from the triangulated category to the heart. If the torsion pair …
Bezrukavnikov (later together with Arinkin) recovered the work of Deligne defining perverse $t$-structures for the derived category of coherent sheaves on a projective variety. In this text we prove that these $t$-structures can be obtained through tilting torsion theories as in the work of Happel, Reiten and Smalø. This approach proves to be slightly more general as it allows us to define, in the quasi-coherent setting, similar perverse $t$-structures for certain noncommutative projective planes.
It is a result of Gabriel that hereditary torsion pairs in categories of modules are in bijection with certain filters of ideals of the base ring, called Gabriel filters or Gabriel topologies. A result of Jans shows that this bijection restricts to a correspondence between (Gabriel filters that are uniquely determined by) idempotent ideals and TTF triples. Over the years, these classical results have been extended in several different directions. In this paper we present a detailed and self-contained exposition of an extension of the above bijective correspondences to additive functor categori…
The paper contains a collection of results related to weight structures, $t$-structures, and (more generally) to torsion pairs. For any weight structure $w$ we study (co)homological pure functors; these "ignore all weights except weight zero" and have already found several applications. We also study virtual $t$-truncations of cohomological functors coming from $w$. These are closely related to $t$-structures; so we prove in several cases (including certain categories of coherent sheaves) that $w$ "gives" a $t$-structure (that is adjacent or $Φ$-orthogonal to it). We also study in detail "well…
In an arbitrary Grothendieck category, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the class of $\text{FP}_n$-injective objects to be a torsion class. By doing so, we propose a notion of $n$-hereditary categories. We also define and study the class of $\text{FP}_n$-flat objects in Grothendieck categories with a generating set of small projective objects, and provide several equivalent conditions for this class to be torsion-free. In the end, we present several applications and examples of $n$-hereditary categories in the contexts modules over a ring, chain complexes of modules and categori…
In a coherent category, the posets of subobjects have very strong properties. We emphasize the validity of these properties, in general categories, for well-behaved classes of subobjects. As an example of application, we investigate the problem of the various torsion theories which can be universally associated with a pretorsion one.
There is a well-known correspondence between coherent theories (and their interpretations) and coherent categories (resp. functors), hence the (2,1)-category $\mathbf{Coh_{\sim}}$ (of small coherent categories, coherent functors and all natural isomorphisms) is of logical interest. We prove that this category admits all small 2-limits and 2-colimits (in the ($\infty $,1)-categorical sense), and prove a 2-categorical small object argument to provide weak factorisation systems for coherent functors.
We prove an analogon of the the fundamental homomorphism theorem for certain classes of exact and essentially surjective functors of Abelian categories $\mathscr{Q}:\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$. It states that $\mathscr{Q}$ is up to equivalence the Serre quotient $\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{A} / \mathrm{ker} \mathscr{Q}$, even in cases when the latter does not admit a section functor. For several classes of schemes $X$, including projective and toric varieties, this characterization applies to the sheafification functor from a certain category $\mathcal{A}$ of finitely presented graded modules t…
It is a well established fact that the notions of quasi-abelian categories and tilting torsion pairs are equivalent. This equivalence fits in a wider picture including tilting pairs of $t$-structures. Firstly, we extend this picture into a hierarchy of $n$-quasi-abelian categories and $n$-tilting torsion classes. We prove that any $n$-quasi-abelian category admits a derived category endowed with a $n$-tilting pair of $t$-structures such that the respective hearts are derived equivalent. Secondly, we describe the hearts of these $t$-structures as quotient categories of coherent functors, genera…
Let $\mathscr{C}$ be an extriangulated category and $\mathcal{X}$ be a semibrick in $\mathscr{C}$. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the filtration subcategory generated by $\mathcal{X}$. We introduce the weak Jordan-Hölder property (WJHP) and Jordan-Hölder property (JHP) in $\mathscr{C}$ and show that $\mathcal{T}$ satisfies (WJHP). Furthermore, $\mathcal{T}$ satisfies (JHP) if and only if $\mathcal{X}$ is proper. Using reflection functors and $c$-sortable elements, we give a combinatorial criterion for the torsion-free class satisfying (JHP) in the representation category of a quiver of type $A$.
For a quasi-compact quasi-separated scheme X and an arbitrary scheme Y we show that the pullback construction implements an equivalence between the discrete category of morphisms Y --> X and the category of cocontinuous tensor functors Qcoh(X) --> Qcoh(Y). This is an improvement of a result by Lurie and may be interpreted as the statement that algebraic geometry is 2-affine. Moreover, we prove the analogous version of this result for Durov's notion of generalized schemes over F_1.
Let $X$ be an arbitrary scheme. The category $\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$ of quasi--coherent sheaves on $X$ is known that admits arbitrary direct products. However their structure seems to be rather mysterious. In the present paper we will describe the structure of the product object of a family of locally torsion-free objects in $\mathfrak{Qcoh}(X)$, for $X$ an integral scheme. Several applications are provided. For instance it is shown that the class of flat quasi--coherent sheaves on a Dedekind scheme $X$ is closed under arbitrary direct products, and that the class of all locally torsion-free quas…
We build an infinite dimensional scheme parametrizing isomorphism classes of coherent quotients of a quasi-coherent sheaf on a projective scheme. The main tool to achieve the construction is a version of Grothendieck's Grassmannian embedding combined with a result of Deligne, realizing quasi-coherent sheaves as ind-objects in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves of finite presentation. We end our treatment with the discussion of a special case in which we can retain an analog of the Grassmannian embedding.
We prove analogues of model theory results for $\mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$ coherent functors, including variants of the omitting types theorem and some results on ultraproduct constructions. We introduce a distributive lattice valued invariant of $\mathcal{C}\to \mathbf{Set}$ coherent functors that vanishes precisely on positively closed models, then we study its functorial properties.
Let p be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category R_p of finite p-groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite p-groups among its objects. In R_p, every finite p-group P admits a canonical direct summand, called the edge of P. Moreover P splits uniquely as a direct sum of edges of Roquette p-groups, and the tensor structure of R_p can be described in terms of such edges. The main motivation for considering this category is that the additive functors from R_p to abelian groups are exactly the rational p-biset functors. This yields in particular very effi…
We consider three (2-)categories and their (anti-)equivalence. They are the category of small abelian categories and exact functors, the category of definable additive categories and interpretation functors, the category of locally coherent abelian categories and coherent morphisms. These categories link algebra, model theory and "geometry".
Associated to each small category $C$, there is a category of $C$-shaped diagrams of simplicial sets and an $\infty$-category of $NC$-shaped homotopy coherent diagrams of spaces. We present a functor which exhibits the latter as the $\infty$-categorical localisation of the former at the objectwise weak homotopy equivalences. This builds on a Quillen equivalence between the projective and covariant model structures associated to $C$ due to Heuts-Moerdijk, as well as Cisinski's theory of $\infty$-categorical localisations. We use the localisation functor to give simplified proofs that the left (…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and $\mathcal{B}$ be the Happel-Reiten-Smalø tilt of $\mathcal{A}$ with respect to a torsion pair. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a derived equivalence between $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{A}$, which is compatible with the inclusion of $\mathcal{B}$ into the derived category of $\mathcal{A}$. In particular, any splitting torsion pair induces a derived equivalence. We prove that for the realization functor of any bounded $t$-structure, its denseness implies its fully-faithfulness.
Quasi-coherent torsion sheaves, the semiderived category, and the semitensor product: Semi-infinite algebraic geometry of quasi-coherent sheaves on ind-schemes
We introduce new enhancements for the bounded derived category $D^b(Coh(X))$ of coherent sheaves on a suitable scheme $X$ and for its subcategory $Perf(X)$ of perfect complexes. They are used for translating Fourier-Mukai functors to functors between derived categories of dg algebras, for relating homological smoothness of $Perf(X)$ to geometric smoothness of $X,$ and for proving homological smoothness of $D^b(Coh(X)).$ Moreover, we characterize properness of $Perf(X)$ and $D^b(Coh(X))$ geometrically.
Firstly we provide a technique to move torsion pairs in abelian categories via adjoint functors and in particular through Giraud subcategories. We apply this point in order to develop a correspondence between Giraud subcategories of an abelian category $C$ and those of its tilt $H(C)$ i.e., the heart of a t-structure on $D(C)$ induced by a torsion pair.
Consider the obvious functor from the unbounded derived category of all finitely generated modules over a left noetherian ring $R$ to the unbounded derived category of all modules. We answer the natural question whether this functor defines an equivalence onto the full subcategory of complexes with finitely generated cohomology modules in two special cases. If $R$ is a quasi-Frobenius ring of infinite global dimension, then this functor is not full. If $R$ has finite left global dimension, this functor is an equivalence. We also prove variants of the latter assertion for left coherent rings, f…
We give a sufficient condition for an Ext-finite triangulated category to be saturated. Saturatedness means that every contravariant cohomological functor of finite type to vector spaces is representable. The condition consists in existence of a strong generator. We prove that the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth proper commutative and noncommutative varieties have strong generators, hence saturated. In contrast the similar category for a smooth compact analytic surface with no curves is not saturated.
We study the notions of $n$-hereditary rings and its connection to the classes of finitely $n$-presented modules, FP$_n$-injective modules, FP$_n$-flat modules and $n$-coherent rings. We give characterizations of $n$-hereditary rings in terms of quotients of injective modules and submodules of flat modules, and a characterization of $n$-coherent using an injective cogenerator of the category of modules. We show two torsion pairs with respect to the FP$_n$-injective modules and the FP$_n$-flat modules over $n$-hereditary rings. We also provide an example of a Bézout ring which is 2-hereditary, …
In this paper we establish an equivalence between the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W and the triangulated category of singularities of the fiber of W over zero. The main result is a theorem that shows that the graded triangulated category of singularities of the cone over a projective variety is connected via a fully faithful functor to the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the base of the cone. This implies that the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W …
