One-point extension and recollement

This paper is devoted to studying the recollement of the categories of finitely generated modules over finite dimensional algebras. We prove that for algebras A, B and C, if A-mod admits a recollement relative to B-mod and C-mod, then A[R]-mod admits a recollement relative to B[S]-mod and C-mod, where A[R]and B[S]are the one-point extensions of A by R and of B by S.     

A recollement construction of Gorenstein derived categories

We first give an equivalence between the derived category of a locally finitely presented category and the derived category of contravariant functors from its finitely presented subcategory to the category of abelian groups, in the spirit of Krause’s work [Math. Ann., 2012, 353: 765–781]. Then we provide a criterion for the existence of recollement of derived categories of functor categories, which shows that the recollement structure may be induced by a proper morphism defined in finitely presented subcategories. This criterion is then used to construct a recollement of derived category of Gorenstein injective modules over CM-finite 2-Gorenstein artin algebras.     

Mutation pairs and quotient categories of Abelian categories

The notion of 𝒟-mutation pairs of subcategories in an abelian category is defined in this article. When (𝒵,𝒵) is a 𝒟-mutation pair in an abelian category 𝒜, the quotient category 𝒵∕𝒟 carries naturally a triangulated structure. Moreover, our result generalize the construction of the quotient triangulated category by Happel [10 Happel, D. (1988). Triangulated Categories in the Representation of Finite Dimensional Algebras. London Mathematical Society, LMN, Vol. 119. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], Theorem 2.6]. Finally, we find a one-to-one correspondence between cotorsion pairs in 𝒜 and cotorsion pairs in the quotient category 𝒵∕𝒟, and study homological finiteness of subcategories in a mutation pair.     

Localization on certain Grothendieck categories

Using categorical techniques we obtain some results on localization and colocalization theory in Grothendieck categories with a set of small projective generators. In particular, we give a sufficient condition for such category to be semiartinian. For semiartinian Grothendieck categories where every simple object has a projective cover, we obtain that every localizing subcategory is a TTF-class. In addition, some applications to semiperfect categories are obtained.     

Two acyclicizations of a complex and an explicit recollement

By assigning to each complex over a semi-simple ring two acyclicizations, we construct an explicit recollement for homotopy categories of a certain triangular matrix ring such that all the six triangle functors of the recollement preserve acyclic complexes.     

Coherence for closed categories with biproducts

A coherence result for symmetric monoidal closed categories with biproducts is shown in this paper. It is also explained how to prove coherence for compact closed categories with biproducts and for dagger compact closed categories with dagger biproducts by using the same technique.     

Uniqueness of uniform decompositions in exact categories

Two uniqueness theorems on uniform decompositions due to Krause, Diracca and Facchini are extended from abelian categories to weakly idempotent complete exact categories. We give applications to (quasi-)abelian categories, finitely accessible additive categories and exactly definable additive categories.     

A note on the equivalence of m-periodic derived categories

Let A and B be finite-dimensional algebras over a field k of finite global dimension. Using some results of Gorsky in “Semi-derived Hall algebras and tilting invariance of Bridgeland-Hall algebras”, we prove that if A and B are derived equivalent, then the corresponding m-periodic derived categories are triangulated equivalent.     

On equivalence of derived categories

Let A be an Abelian category and B be a thick subcategory of A. Let D ^b(B) denote the derived category of cohomologically bounded chain complexes of objects in A and D _B ^b (A) denote the derived category of cohomologically bounded chain complexes of objects in A with cohomology in B. We give two if and only if conditions for equivalence of D(B) and D _B ^b (A), and we give an example where D ^b (B) and D _B ^b (A) are not equivalent.     

State-transition categories

This paper presents the idea to define a category which is related to a state-transition system. To represent our knowledge, we also introduce knowledge functions and fuzzy knowledge functions.     

Right n-angulated categories arising from covariantly finite subcategories

We define right n-angulated categories, which are analogous to right triangulated categories. Let 𝒞 be an additive category and 𝒳 a covariantly finite subcategory of 𝒞. We show that under certain conditions, the quotient 𝒞∕[𝒳] is a right n-angulated category. This has immediate applications to n-angulated quotient categories.     

Differential graded versus simplicial categories

We establish a connection between differential graded and simplicial categories by constructing a three-step zig-zag of Quillen adjunctions relating the homotopy theories of the two. In an intermediate step, we extend the Dold-Kan correspondence to a Quillen equivalence between categories enriched over non-negatively graded complexes and categories enriched over simplicial modules. As an application, we obtain a simple calculation of Simpson's homotopy fiber, which is known to be a key step in the construction of a moduli stack of perfect complexes on a smooth projective variety.     

Models for homotopy categories of injectives and Gorenstein injectives

A natural generalization of locally noetherian and locally coherent categories leads us to define locally type FP_∞ categories. They include not just all categories of modules over a ring, but also the category of sheaves over any concentrated scheme. In this setting we generalize and study the absolutely clean objects recently introduced in [5 Bravo, D., Gillespie, J., Hovey, M. The stable module category of a general ring (arXiv:1405.5768). [Google Scholar]]. We show that 𝒟(𝒜𝒞), the derived category of absolutely clean objects, is always compactly generated and that it is embedded in K(Inj), the chain homotopy category of injectives, as a full subcategory containing the DG-injectives. Assuming the ground category 𝒢 has a set of generators satisfying a certain vanishing property, we also show that there is a recollement relating 𝒟(𝒜𝒞) to the (also compactly generated) derived category 𝒟(𝒢). Finally, we generalize the Gorenstein AC-injectives of [5 Bravo, D., Gillespie, J., Hovey, M. The stable module category of a general ring (arXiv:1405.5768). [Google Scholar]], showing that they are the fibrant objects of a cofibrantly generated model structure on 𝒢.     

Frobenius-Schur indicators and exponents of spherical categories

We obtain two formulae for the higher Frobenius-Schur indicators: one for a spherical fusion category in terms of the twist of its center and the other one for a modular tensor category in terms of its twist. The first one is a categorical generalization of an analogous result by Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu for Hopf algebras, and the second one extends Bantay's 2nd indicator formula for a conformal field theory to higher degrees. These formulae imply the sequence of higher indicators of an object in these categories is periodic. We define the notion of Frobenius-Schur (FS-)exponent of a pivotal category to be the global period of all these sequences of higher indicators, and we prove that the FS-exponent of a spherical fusion category is equal to the order of the twist of its center. Consequently, the FS-exponent of a spherical fusion category is a multiple of its exponent, in the sense of Etingof, by a factor not greater than 2. As applications of these results, we prove that the exponent and the dimension of a semisimple quasi-Hopf algebra H have the same prime divisors, which answers two questions of Etingof and Gelaki affirmatively for quasi-Hopf algebras. Moreover, we prove that the FS-exponent of H divides dim⁴(H). In addition, if H is a group-theoretic quasi-Hopf algebra, the FS-exponent of H divides dim²(H), and this upper bound is shown to be tight.     

Locally finite triangulated categories

A k-linear triangulated category is called locally finite provided for any indecomposable object Y in . It has Auslander–Reiten triangles. In this paper, we show that if a (connected) triangulated category has Auslander–Reiten triangles and contains loops, then its Auslander–Reiten quiver is of the form :

Full-size image (<1K)

By using this, we prove that the Auslander–Reiten quiver of any locally finite triangulated category is of the form , where Δ is a Dynkin diagram and G is an automorphism group of . For most automorphism groups G, the triangulated categories with as their Auslander–Reiten quivers are constructed. In particular, a triangulated category with as its Auslander–Reiten quiver is constructed.     

Axiomatizing subcategories of Abelian categories

We investigate how to characterize subcategories of abelian categories in terms of intrinsic axioms. In particular, we find axioms which characterize generating cogenerating functorially finite subcategories, precluster tilting subcategories, and cluster tilting subcategories of abelian categories. As a consequence we prove that any d-abelian category is equivalent to a d-cluster tilting subcategory of an abelian category, without any assumption on the categories being projectively generated.
