Hochschild cohomology for periodic algebras of polynomial growth

We describe the dimensions of low Hochschild cohomology spaces of exceptional periodic representation-infinite algebras of polynomial growth. As an application we obtain that an indecomposable non-standard periodic representation-infinite algebra of polynomial growth is not derived equivalent to a standard self-injective algebra.     

Strict polynomial functors and coherent functors

We build an explicit link between coherent functors in the sense of Auslander [Coherent functors. Proc. Conf. Categorical Algebra (La Jolla, Calif., 1965). Springer, Berlin, pp. 189–231, 1966] and strict polynomial functors in the sense of Friedlander and Suslin (Invent. Math. 127(2), 209–270, 1997). Applications to functor cohomology are discussed. V.

Complexity and cohomology of cohomological Mackey functors

Let k be a field of characteristic p>0. Call a finite group G a poco group over k if any finitely generated cohomological Mackey functor for G over k has polynomial growth. The main result of this paper is that G is a poco group over k if and only if the Sylow p-subgroups of G are cyclic, when p>2, or have sectional rank at most 2, when p=2.A major step in the proof is the case where G is an elementary abelian p-group. In particular, when p=2, all the extension groups between simple functors can be determined completely, using a presentation of the graded algebra of self extensions of the simple functor , by explicit generators and relations.     

Tate cohomology lowers chromatic Bousfield classes

Let be a finite group. We use recent results of J. P. C. Greenlees and H. Sadofsky to show that the Tate homology of local spectra with respect to produces local spectra. We also show that the Bousfield class of the Tate homology of (for finite) is the same as that of . To be precise, recall that Tate homology is a functor from -spectra to -spectra. To produce a functor from spectra to spectra, we look at a spectrum as a naive -spectrum on which acts trivially, apply Tate homology, and take -fixed points. This composite is the functor we shall actually study, and we'll prove that when is finite. When , the symmetric group on letters, this is related to a conjecture of Hopkins and Mahowald (usually framed in terms of Mahowald's functor ).

     

Clifford semigroups as functors and their cohomology

We prove that the category of Clifford semigroups and prehomomorphisms CSP\mathcal{CSP} is isomorphic to a certain subcategory of the category of diagrams over groups. Under this isomorphism, Clifford semigroups are identified with certain functors. As an application of the isomorphism theorem, we show that the category with objects commutative inverse semigroups having the same semilattice of idempotents and with morphisms, the inverse semigroup homomorphisms that fix the semilattice, imbeds into a category of right modules over a certain ring. Also we find a very close relationship between the cohomology groups of a commutative inverse monoid and the cohomology groups of the colimit group of the functor giving the monoid.     

Extensions of strict polynomial functors

We compute Ext-groups between Frobenius twists of strict polynomial functors. The main result concerns the groups where Dd is the divided power functor, and F is an arbitrary functor. These groups are shown to be isomorphic to F(Ai) for certain explicitly described graded space Ai. We also calculate the groups where Wμ and Sλ are respectively the Weyl and Schur functors associated to diagrams μ, λ of the same weight.     

Gorenstein categories and Tate cohomology on projective schemes

We study Gorenstein categories. We show that such a category has Tate cohomological functors and Avramov–Martsinkovsky exact sequences connecting the Gorenstein relative, the absolute and the Tate cohomological functors. We show that such a category has what Hovey calls an injective model structure and also a projective model structure in case the category has enough projectives. As examples we show that if X is a locally Gorenstein projective scheme then the category ??????(X) of quasi‐coherent sheaves on X is such a category and so has these features.

Remarks on balance in generalized Tate cohomology

We consider two pairs of complete hereditary cotorsion theories on the category of left R-modules, such that We prove that for any left R-modules M, N and for any n ≧ 1, the generalized Tate cohomology modules can be computed either using a left of M and a left of M or using a right a right of N.

A Tate cohomology sequence for generalized Burnside rings

We generalize the fundamental theorem for Burnside rings to the mark morphism of plus constructions defined by Boltje. The main observation is the following: If D is a restriction functor for a finite group G, then the mark morphism φ:D₊→D⁺ is the same as the norm map of the Tate cohomology sequence (over conjugation algebra for G) after composing with a suitable isomorphism of D⁺. As a consequence, we obtain an exact sequence of Mackey functors

     

Relative cohomology of polynomial mappings

 Let F be a polynomial mapping from ℂ ⁿ to ℂ ^q with n>q. We study the De Rham cohomology of its fibres and its relative cohomology groups, by introducing a special fibre F ⁻¹(∞) ``at infinity' and its cohomology. Let us fix a weighted homogeneous degree on with strictly positive weights. The fibre at infinity is the zero set of the leading terms of the coordinate functions of F. We introduce the cohomology groups H ^k (F ⁻¹(∞)) of F at infinity. These groups enable us to compute all the other cohomology groups of F. For instance, if the fibre at infinity has an isolated singularity at the origin, we prove that every weighted homogeneous basis of H ^n−q (F ⁻¹ (∞)) is a basis of all the groups H ^n−q (F ⁻¹(y)) and also a basis of the (n−q) ^th relative cohomology group of F. Moreover the dimension of H ^n−q (F ⁻¹(∞)) is given by a global Milnor number of F, which only depends on the leading terms of the coordinate functions of F.

Non-triviality of Tate cohomology for certain classes of finite p-groups

We prove that the Tate cohomology groups ?ⁿ(G∕Φ(G),Z(Φ(G))) are non-trivial, whenever G is a finite p-group of class 3, or the pth term of the upper central series of G contains Z(Φ(G)). This confirms a conjecture of Schmid for these groups.
