Abstract The derived category of coherent sheaves has been widely accepted as an interest- ing invariant of varieties and played a key role in Kontsevich’s homological mirror symmetry conjecture. On the other hand, however, it is known that derived category has several defects, which can be overcome by introducing the notion of differential graded category (dg-category). Recently, Jonathan Block defined a dg-category PA for any given differential graded algebra (dga) A = (A•, d). When A is the Dolbeault complex of a compact complex manifold X, he showed that the homotopy category of b PA is equivalent to the bounded derived category D (X) of X. Hence PA serves as an explicit model for Db(X). The same construction can be carried out for curved dgas and was used by Block to study noncommutative T-duality. This dissertation proves a generalized version of Block’s theorem for the coherent sheaves over the formal neighborhood Yˆ of a closed embedding i : X ,! Y of com- plex manifolds. We define a dga (A• , d), which is the analogue to the usual Dolbeaut Yˆ complex, for Yˆ and prove that the homotopy category of PA in this situation is equiv- alent to the bounded derived category Db(Yˆ ) of Yˆ . This dissertation also provides a geometric discription of the dga (A• , d), which generalizes the result of Kapranov on Yˆ the diagonal embedding ∆ : X ,!

It is well known that coher- ent sheaves over non-singular, quasi-projective varieties always admit resolutions by locally free sheaves of finite type. In contrast, however, not every coherent analytic sheaf over an analtyic space has a resolution by holomorphic vector bundles, although locally such resolutions always exist. This is one of the main differences between al- gebraic and analytical geometry and it causes problems when one wants to translate concepts from the algebraic side to the analytical side. For example, Grothendieck [Gro58] defined Chern classes for coherent sheaves using locally free resolutions. For coherent analytic sheaves, the situation is more subtle due to the lack of global resolu- tions and one needs to get around this issue by implementing alternative approaches (see, e.g., [Gri10]). Thus the meaning of ‘resolutions’ has to be adjusted to be fitted into the analytical world. One effort in this direction goes back to the papers of Toledo and Tong, [TT76], 2 [TT78], in which they introduced the concept of twisted complexes. The construction was of Czech-type.ˇ Recently, a corresponding Dolbeault version was carried out by Block, [Blo10], [Blo06]. To any compact complex manifold X, he assigned a differen- tial graded (dg) category PA that he called the perfect category of cohesive modules over the Dolbeault differential graded algebra (dga) A = (A•(X), ¶), where Aq(X) are the spaces of smooth (0, q)-forms on X and ¶ is the (0, 1)-part of the De Rham differen- tial. The significance of this notion is embodied in (but not limited to) the following theorem: Theorem 1.1.1 ([Blo10]). Let X be a compact complex manifold and A = (A•(X), ¶) the b Dolbeault dga. The homotopy category HoPA of the dg-category PA is equivalent to Dcoh(X), the bounded derived category of complexes of sheaves of OX-modules with coherent cohomology. In fact, the notion of cohesive modules was defined in [Blo10] for an arbitrary (non- negatively graded) dga A = (A•, d) (and even more generally, for a curved dga). We write A = A0 for the degree 0 part of A• and think of it as “functions” over some • (noncommutative) space. A cohesive module (E , E) over A consists of two pieces of • data: a bounded Z-graded (left) A-module E which is finitely generated and projec- tive, together with a Z-connection of total degree one • • • • E : A ⊗A E !A ⊗A E that satisfies the Leibniz rule for the action of A• and also the integrability condition • • • E ◦ E = 0. Thus E is determined by its value on E ⊆ A ⊗A E and has a canonical decomposition E = E0 + E1 + E2 + ··· k • k •−k+1 1 such that E : E !A ⊗A E . It is not hard to see that E is a connection on each 3 component En in the ordinary sense and that Ek is A-linear for k 6= 1. Also note that • the integrability condition for E implies that E0 ◦ E0 = 0, so (E , E0) is a complex of A- • modules in the usual sense. A morphism between two cohesive modules E1 = (E1, E1) • • • • • • and E2 = (E2, E2) is an A -linear homomorphism φ : A ⊗A E1 !A ⊗A E2. The • set of all morphisms forms a complex PA(E1, E2) with the differential defined in a standard way jφj d(φ) = E2 ◦ φ − (−1) φ ◦ E1. • In the case when A is the Dolbeault dga of a compact complex manifold X, (E , E0) corresponds to a complex of smooth complex vector bundles over X and E1 : En ! 1 n n A ⊗A E gives a (0, 1)-connection on each E .

  • Lecture 18: April 15 Direct Images and Coherence. Last Time, We Defined
    89 Lecture 18: April 15 Direct images and coherence. Last time, we defined the direct image functor (for right D-modules) as the composition L op DX Y op Rf op b ⌦ ! b 1 ⇤ b D (DX ) D (f − DY ) D (DY ) f+ where f : X Y is any morphism between nonsingular algebraic varieties. We also ! showed that g+ f+ ⇠= (g f)+. Today, our first◦ task is to◦ prove that direct images preserve quasi-coherence and, in the case when f is proper, coherence. The definition of the derived category b op D (DX )didnot include any quasi-coherence assumptions. We are going to denote b op b op by Dqc(DX ) the full subcategory of D (DX ), consisting of those complexes of right DX -modules whose cohomology sheaves are quasi-coherent as OX -modules. Recall that we included the condition of quasi-coherence into our definition of algebraic b op D-modules in Lecture 10. Similarly, we denote by Dcoh (DX ) the full subcategory b op of D (DX ), consisting of those complexes of right DX -modules whose cohomology sheaves are coherent DX -modules (and therefore quasi-coherent OX -modules). This b op category is of course contained in Dqc(DX ). Theorem 18.1. Let f : X Y be a morphism between nonsingular algebraic ! b op b op varieties. Then the functor f+ takes Dqc(DX ) into Dqc(DY ). When f is proper, b op b op it also takes Dcoh (DX ) into Dcoh (DY ). We are going to deduce this from the analogous result for OX -modules. Recall that if F is a quasi-coherent OX -module, then the higher direct image sheaves j R f F are again quasi-coherent OY -modules.

  • A CATEGORICAL INTRODUCTION to SHEAVES Contents 1
    A CATEGORICAL INTRODUCTION TO SHEAVES DAPING WENG Abstract. Sheaf is a very useful notion when defining and computing many different cohomology theories over topological spaces. There are several ways to build up sheaf theory with different axioms; however, some of the axioms are a little bit hard to remember. In this paper, we are going to present a \natural" approach from a categorical viewpoint, with some remarks of applications of sheaf theory at the end. Some familiarity with basic category notions is assumed for the readers. Contents 1. Motivation1 2. Definitions and Constructions2 2.1. Presheaf2 2.2. Sheaf 4 3. Sheafification5 3.1.

Motivation In many occasions, we may be interested in algebraic structures defined over local neigh- borhoods. For example, a theory of cohomology of a topological space often concerns with sets of maps from a local neighborhood to some abelian groups, which possesses a natural Z-module struture. Another example is line bundles (either real or complex): since R or C are themselves rings, the set of sections over a local neighborhood forms an R or C-module. To analyze this local algebraic information, mathematians came up with the notion of sheaves, which accommodate local and global data in a natural way. However, there are many fashion of introducing sheaves; Tennison [2] and Bredon [1] have done it in two very different styles in their seperate books, though both of which bear the name \Sheaf Theory".

  • Sheaf Cohomology
    Sheaf Cohomology Gabriel Chˆenevert Payman Kassaei September 24, 2003 In this lecture, we define the cohomology groups of a topological space X with coefficients in a sheaf of abelian groups F on X in terms of the derived functors of the global section functor Γ(X; ¢ ). Then we introduce Cechˇ coho- mology with respect to an open covering of X, which permits to make explicit calculations, and discuss under which conditions it can be used to compute sheaf cohomology. 1 Derived functors We first need to review some homological algebra in order to be able to define sheaf cohomology using the derived functors of the global sections functor. Let A be an abelian category, that is, roughly, an additive category in which there exist well-behaved kernels and cokernels for each morphism, so that, for example, the notion of an exact sequence in A makes sense. If X is a fixed object in A and Ab denotes the category of abelian groups, then we have a contravariant functor Hom( ¢ ;X): A ¡! Ab: It is readily seen to be left exact, that is, for any short exact sequence f g 0 ¡! A ¡! B ¡! C ¡! 0 in A , the sequence g¤ f ¤ 0 ¡! Hom(C; X) ¡! Hom(B; X) ¡! Hom(A; X) is exact in Ab. Definition 1.1. An object I of A is said to be injective if the functor Hom( ¢ ;I) is exact. 1 Since Hom( ¢ ;I) is always left exact, we see that an object I of A is injective if and only if for each exact sequence 0 ! A ! B and morphism A ! I, there exists a morphism B ! I making the following diagram commute.

  • Lecture 10 - Direct and Inverse Images, Stalks, and Sheafification
    Lecture 10 - Direct and Inverse Images, Stalks, and Sheafification October 29, 2014 1 Generalities on Abelian Categories and Limits In this lecture we define and explore the categories of sheaves and presheaves and functors between them. As such we begin by reviewing some basics that will come in handy later. This section exists primarily for completeness and ease of reference, and may(should) be skipped on a first reading. 1.1 Abelian Categories Definition. An Abelian category is a Category C with the following prop- erties: • It has an initial object Z 2 C. That is, every other object has a unique morphism from Z, and a unique morphism to Z. • All hom-sets are equipped with the structure of an abelian group such that the composition of morphisms is bilinear. • All finite objects have a biproduct. That is, for every set A1;:::;Ak of objects there exists an object B with maps pm to Am and im from Am such that pm ◦ ik is the zero morphism for m 6= k, and the identity for m = k, such that the morphisms pm make B the coproduct of the Ak and the morphisms ik make B the product of the Ak. One should think of B as the direct sum AND the direct product of the Ak. • C has all kernels and cokernels. Recall that for a morphism φ : A ! B a kernel of φ is a morphism k : K ! A such that φ ◦ k = 0 and any other morphism k0 : K0 ! A such that φ ◦ k0 = 0 factors through k.A cokernel is the dual notion.

  • Relation Between Two Twisted Inverse Image Pseudofunctors in Duality Theory
    Relation between two twisted inverse image pseudofunctors in duality theory Srikanth B. Iyengar, Joseph Lipman and Amnon Neeman Abstract Grothendieck duality theory assigns to essentially-finite-type maps f of noetherian × ! schemes a pseudofunctor f right-adjoint to Rf∗, and a pseudofunctor f agreeing with f × when f is proper, but equal to the usual inverse image f ∗ when f is ´etale.We define and study a canonical map from the first pseudofunctor to the second. This map behaves well with respect to flat base change, and is taken to an isomorphism by \compactly supported" versions of standard derived functors. Concrete realizations are described, for instance for maps of affine schemes. Applications include proofs of reduction theorems for Hochschild homology and cohomology, and of a remarkable formula for the fundamental class of a flat map of affine schemes. Introduction The relation in the title is given by a canonical pseudofunctorial map :(−)× ! (−)! between \twisted inverse image" pseudofunctors with which Grothendieck duality theory is concerned. These pseudofunctors on the category E of essentially-finite-type separated maps of noethe- rian schemes take values in bounded-below derived categories of complexes with quasi-coherent homology, see 1.1 and 1.2. The map , derived from the pseudofunctorial \fake unit map" ! id ! (−) ◦ R(−)∗ of Proposition 2.1, is specified in Corollary 2.1.4. A number of concrete exam- ples appear in x3. For instance, if f is a map in E, then (f) is an isomorphism if f is proper; but if f is, say, an open immersion, so that f ! is the usual inverse image functor f ∗ whereas f × is right-adjoint to Rf∗ , then (f) is usually quite far from being an isomorphism (see e.g., 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.3).

  • Talk 3: Review of Constructible Sheaves and Operations on Sheaves
    Talk 3: Review of constructible sheaves and operations on sheaves Good resources for the material presented today include [KS13], [Dim04], [Ive86], and [NZ09]. 3.1 Constructible sheaves Throughout this section, X will be a closed, real analytic manifold of dimension n, unless otherwise noted. As indicated by the name, constructible sheaves are those that we can build from very simple pieces using relatively simple methods. We start with the simplest possible sheaf (of C-modules) on X, which is the constant sheaf CX . This is the sheafification of Id CX (U) = C; (V,! U) 7! (C −! C) for open sets V ⊂ U ⊂ X. Notice that for any other sheaf F on X we have an obvious map CX × F ! F; defined by the fact that F(U) is a C-module for each U ⊂ X. This motivates the notation mod(CX ) for sheaves on X. Also note that we have a constant sheaf MX 2 mod(CX ) for each M 2 mod(C). Next, we allow ourselves to patch constant sheaves together, perhaps with monodromy. A locally constant sheaf is a sheaf F 2 mod(CX ) such that each x 2 X admits an open neighborhood U ⊂ X for which FjU is a constant sheaf. Example 4. Let π : Y ! X be a finite-sheeted covering space with fiber F . We define a sheaf F by assigning F(U) = ChΓ(π : Y ! U)i; with the obvious restriction maps. Given x 2 X, we can choose an open neighborhood U ⊂ X such that π−1(U) ' U, so Γ(π : Y ! U) ' F .

  • Base Change and Grothendieck Duality for Cohen–Macaulay
    Compositio Math. 140 (2004) 729–777 DOI: 10.1112/S0010437X03000654 Base change and Grothendieck duality for Cohen–Macaulay maps Pramathanath Sastry Abstract Let f : X → Y be a Cohen–Macaulay map of finite type between Noetherian schemes, and g : Y → Y amap,withY Noetherian. Let f : X → Y be the base change of f under g and g : X → X thebasechangeofg under f. We show that there is a canonical f ∗ isomorphism θg : g ωf ωf ,whereωf and ωf are the relative dualizing sheaves. The f map θg is easily described when f is proper, and has a more subtle description when f is f ∗ r r not. If f is smooth we show that θg corresponds to the canonical identification g Ωf =Ωf of differential forms, where r is the relative dimension of f. This work is closely related to B. Conrad’s work on base change. However, our approach to the problems and our viewpoint are very different from Conrad’s: dualizing complexes and their Cousin versions, residual complexes, do not appear in this paper. 1. Introduction Our approach to Grothendieck duality is the approach of Deligne and Verdier [Del66, Ver69]with important elaborations by Alonso et al..[AJL99]. In particular, we do not use residual complexes or dualizing complexes, which are crucial ingredients in the approach laid out in Hartshorne’s voluminous book [Har66]. We will be examining the behavior of relative duality for a Cohen– Macaulay map f : X → Y of Noetherian schemes. Our intent is to show that the main result of Conrad’s recent book [Con00] on Grothendieck duality concerning base change for relative dualizing sheaves and traces for Cohen–Macaulay maps (see [Con00, pp.

  • FIBRATIONS and HOMOTOPY COLIMITS of SIMPLICIAL SHEAVES 1. Introduction Dold and Thom [3] Introduced a Class of Maps Called Quasi
    FIBRATIONS AND HOMOTOPY COLIMITS OF SIMPLICIAL SHEAVES CHARLES REZK Abstract. We show that homotopy pullbacks of sheaves of simplicial sets over a Grothendieck topology distribute over homotopy colimits; this generalizes a result of Puppe about topological spaces. In addition, we show that inverse image functors between categories of simplicial sheaves preserve homotopy pullback squares. The method we use introduces the notion of a sharp map, which is analogous to the notion of a quasi-fibration of spaces, and seems to be of independent interest. 1. Introduction Dold and Thom [3] introduced a class of maps called quasi-fibrations. A map f : X Y of topological spaces is called a quasi-fibration if for each point y Y ! 1 2 the fiber f − (y) is naturally weakly equivalent to the homotopy fiber of f over y. Thus, quasi-fibrations behave for some purposes of homotopy theory very much like other types of fibrations; for example, there is a long exact sequence relating the 1 homotopy groups of X, Y , and f − (y). A notable feature of quasi-fibrations is that (as shown by Dold and Thom) quasi-fibrations defined over the elements of an open cover of a space Y can sometimes be \patched" together to give a quasi-fibration mapping to all of Y . In this paper we study a class of maps called sharp maps. In our context, a map f : X Y will be called sharp if for each base-change of f along any map into the base Y!the resulting pullback square is homotopy cartesian. We are particularly interested in sharp maps of sheaves of simplicial sets.

    CONTRAHERENT COSHEAVES LEONID POSITSELSKI Abstract. Contraherent cosheaves are globalizations of cotorsion (or similar) modules over commutative rings obtained by gluing together over a scheme. The category of contraherent cosheaves over a scheme is a Quillen exact category with exact functors of infinite product. Over a quasi-compact semi-separated scheme or a Noetherian scheme of finite Krull dimension (in a different version—over any lo- cally Noetherian scheme), it also has enough projectives. We construct the derived co-contra correspondence, meaning an equivalence between appropriate derived cat- egories of quasi-coherent sheaves and contraherent cosheaves, over a quasi-compact semi-separated scheme and, in a different form, over a Noetherian scheme with a dualizing complex. The former point of view allows us to obtain an explicit con- struction of Neeman’s extraordinary inverse image functor f ! for a morphism of quasi-compact semi-separated schemes f : X −→ Y . The latter approach provides an expanded version of the covariant Serre–Grothendieck duality theory and leads to Deligne’s extraordinary inverse image functor f ! (which we denote by f +) for a morphism of finite type f between Noetherian schemes. Semi-separated Noetherian stacks, affine Noetherian formal schemes, and ind-affine ind-schemes (together with the noncommutative analogues) are briefly discussed in the appendices.

You’ll need to use the explicit description of filtered colimits in Set, which also describes the underlying set of the filtered colimit in CRing. You should think about what the ring structure should be. More generally, this description gives the underlying set of a filtered colimit in Mod푅 or Alg푅, where 푅 is a commutative ring (taking 푅 = 퐙, we recover the special cases of Ab = Mod퐙 and CRing = Alg퐙). 1.4. Exercise. Let 퐶 be a category and 푓∶ 푋 → 푌 be a morphism in 퐶. Prove 푓 is a monomorphism if and only if the square 푋 푋 푓 푋 푌 푓 is a pullback square. 1.5. Exercise. Suppose that 퐶 and 퐷 are categories and 퐹, 퐺∶ 퐶 → 퐷 functors. Prove that if 훼∶ 퐹 ⇒ 퐺 is a natural transformation whose components are monomorphisms in 퐷, then 훼 is a monomorphism in 퐷퐶.
