Nonassociative geometry in quasi-Hopf representation categories I: Bimodules and their internal homomorphisms

We systematically study noncommutative and nonassociative algebras $A$ and their bimodules as algebras and bimodules internal to the representation category of a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra. We enlarge the morphisms of the monoidal category of $A$-bimodules by internal homomorphisms, and describe explicitly their evaluation and composition morphisms. For braided commutative algebras $A$ the full subcategory of symmetric $A$-bimodule objects is a braided closed monoidal category, from which we obtain an internal tensor product operation on internal homomorphisms. We describe how these structures deform under cochain twisting of the quasi-Hopf algebra, and apply the formalism to the example of deformation quantization of equivariant vector bundles over a smooth manifold. Our constructions set up the basic ingredients for the systematic development of differential geometry internal to the quasi-Hopf representation category, which will be tackled in the sequels to this paper, together with applications to models of noncommutative and nonassociative gravity such as those anticipated from non-geometric string theory.     

Graded Endomorphism Rings and Equivalences

Abstract

Let R be a G-graded ring,M a G-graded Σ-quasiprojective R- module,and E = END _R (M) its graded ring of endomorphisms. For any subgroup H of G,we prove that certain full subcategories of G/H-graded R-modules associated with M are equivalent to a quotient category of G/H-graded E-modules determined by the idempotent G-graded ideal of E consisting of endomorphisms which factor through a finitely generated submodule of M. Properties and applications of these equivalences are also examined.     

Orlov spectra as a filtered cohomology theory

This paper presents a new approach to the dimension theory of triangulated categories by considering invariants that arise in the pretriangulated setting.     

Deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories I: General theory

This is the first paper in a series. We develop a general deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories of DG categories. Namely, for a DG module E over a DG category we define four deformation functors Defh(E), coDefh(E), Def(E), coDef(E). The first two functors describe the deformations (and co-deformations) of E in the homotopy category, and the last two - in the derived category. We study their properties and relations. These functors are defined on the category of artinian (not necessarily commutative) DG algebras.     

Absolute Lax 2-categories

We have introduced, in a previous paper, the fundamental lax 2-category of a ‘directed space’ . Here we show that, when has a -topology, this structure can be embedded into a larger one, with the same objects (the points of ), the same arrows (the directed paths) and the same cells (based on directed homotopies of paths), but a larger system of comparison cells. The new comparison cells are absolute, in the sense that they only depend on the arrows themselves rather than on their syntactic expression, as in the usual settings of lax or weak structures. It follows that, in the original structure, all the diagrams of comparison cells commute, even if not constructed in a natural way and even if the composed cells need not stay within the old system.Work supported by MIUR Research Projects.     

Non-trivially graded self-dual fusion categories of rank 4

Let C be a self-dual spherical fusion categories of rank 4 with non-trivial grading. We complete the classification of Grothendieck ring K(C) of C; that is, we prove that K(C)≌Fib■Z[Z_2],where Fib is the Fibonacci fusion ring and Z[Z_2] is the group ring on Z_2. In particular, if C is braided,then it is equivalent to Fib Ve■cω_(Z_2) as fusion categories, where Fib is a Fibonacci category and VecωZ_2 is a rank 2 pointed fusion category.

析译文得体性

译文得体性指译文的语言和文体在译语语言文化语境中自然且具有可接受性。它是翻译中一个带有根本性的重要方面。然而,这个重要的基础性问题在翻译理论和实践中却常常被忽略。本文拟从语言和文体两个角度来探讨译文得体性。
