Examples 38 References 42 1. Introduction The paper [Mo58] by Kiiti Morita seems to be the first systematic study of equivalences between module categories. Morita treats both contravariant equivalences (which he calls arXiv:math/0310146v1 [math.AT] 10 Oct 2003 dualities of module categories) and covariant equivalences (which he calls isomorphisms of module categories) and shows that they always arise from suitable bimodules, either via contravariant hom functors (for ‘dualities’) or via covariant hom functors and tensor products (for ‘isomorphisms’). The term ‘Morita theory’ is now used for results concerning equivalences of various kinds of module categories. The authors of the obituary article [AGH] consider Morita’s theorem “probably one of the most frequently used single results in modern algebra”. In this survey article, we focus on the covariant form of Morita theory, so our basic question is: When do two ‘rings’ have ‘equivalent’ module categories ? We discuss this question in different contexts: • (Classical) When are the module categories of two rings equivalent as categories ? Date: February 1, 2008. -

Contemporary Mathematics Morita Contexts, Idempotents, and Hochschild Cohomology — with Applications to Invariant Rings — Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz Dedicated to the memory of Peter Slodowy Abstract. We investigate how to compare Hochschild cohomology of algebras related by a Morita context. Interpreting a Morita context as a ring with distinguished idempotent, the key ingredient for such a comparison is shown to be the grade of the Morita defect, the quotient of the ring modulo the ideal generated by the idempotent. Along the way, we show that the grade of the stable endomorphism ring as a module over the endomorphism ring controls vanishing of higher groups of selfextensions, and explain the relation to various forms of the Generalized Nakayama Conjecture for Noetherian algebras. As applications of our approach we explore to what extent Hochschild cohomology of an invariant ring coincides with the invariants of the Hochschild cohomology. Contents Introduction 1 1.

This raises the question how Hochschild cohomology compares in general for algebras that are just ingredients of a Morita context. -
MORITA EQUIVALENCE of C*-CORRESPONDENCES PASSES to the RELATED OPERATOR ALGEBRAS 1. Introduction Introduced by Rieffel in the 19
MORITA EQUIVALENCE OF C*-CORRESPONDENCES PASSES TO THE RELATED OPERATOR ALGEBRAS GEORGE K. ELEFTHERAKIS, EVGENIOS T.A. KAKARIADIS, AND ELIAS G. KATSOULIS Abstract. We revisit a central result of Muhly and Solel on operator algebras of C*-correspondences. We prove that (possibly non-injective) strongly Morita equivalent C*-correspondences have strongly Morita equivalent relative Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras. The same holds for strong Morita equivalence (in the sense of Blecher, Muhly and Paulsen) and strong ∆-equivalence (in the sense of Eleftherakis) for the related tensor algebras. In particular, we obtain stable isomorphism of the operator algebras when the equivalence is given by a σ-TRO. As an ap- plication we show that strong Morita equivalence coincides with strong ∆-equivalence for tensor algebras of aperiodic C*-correspondences. 1. Introduction Introduced by Rieffel in the 1970's [45, 46], Morita theory provides an important equivalence relation between C*-algebras. In the past 25 years there have been fruitful extensions to cover more general (possibly nonselfad- joint) spaces of operators. These directions cover (dual) operator algebras and (dual) operator spaces, e.g. [3, 4, 6, 7, 16{22, 34]. There are two main streams in this endeavour. Blecher, Muhly and Paulsen [6] introduced a SME strong Morita equivalence s , along with a Morita Theorem I, where the operator algebras A and B are symmetrically decomposed by two bimodules M and N, i.e. A' M ⊗B N and B' N ⊗A M: SME Morita Theorems II and III for s were provided by Blecher [3]. On the ∆ other hand Eleftherakis [16] introduced a strong ∆-equivalence s that is given by a generalized similarity under a TRO M, i.e. -
Morita Equivalence and Infinite Matrix Rings X
proceedings of the american mathematical society Volume 90, Number 2. February 1984 MORITA EQUIVALENCEAND INFINITE MATRIX RINGS VICTOR CAMILLO Abstract. This paper contains the proof of a theorem conjectured by William Stephenson in his thesis [3], Two rings A and S are Morita equivalent if their categories of right A modules are isomorphic. A standard example of two Morita equivalent rings are A and A„, the n X n matrices over A. It is therefore true that if Rn and Sm are isomorphic for integers n and m then A and S are Morita equivalent. An easy example (below) shows that there are Morita equivalent rings A and S with A„ and Sm not isomorphic for any integers m and n. This means that category isomorphism cannot be reduced to a ring isomorphism in this way. Regard A„ as End A*"1, where A'"1 is a direct sum of n copies of A. Let R(N) be a direct sum of countably many copies of A. It follows from a result of Eilenberg (below) that if A and S are Morita equivalent, then End A(A° * End S(N). We prove the following Theorem. A and S are Morita equivalent if and only if End A(/v> « End S(N), where N is a countably infinite set. Note End R(N) — RN is just the ring of column finite matrices over A. The following example was suggested by Kent Fuller. I would also like to thank him for several helpful conversations. Example. Two Morita equivalent rings A and S with Rn not isomorphic to S„, for any integers n and m. -
An Introduction to Morita Theory
An Introduction to Morita Theory Matt Booth October 2015 Nov. 2017: made a few revisions. Thanks to Ning Shan for catching a typo. My main reference for these notes was Chapter II of Bass's book Algebraic K-Theory (1968); you can find a more detailed exposition there. 1 Motivation When we're doing representation theory we want to study the structure of the category Mod-A for some ring A. So we want to know if and when two different rings A and B give us the same category. With this in mind, two rings are said to be Morita equivalent when their module categories are equivalent. In many cases, we often only care about rings up to Morita equivalence. If this is the case, then given a ring A, we'd like to find some particularly nice representative of the Morita equivalence class of A. 2 Morita Equivalence First some notation: Let R be a ring. Write Mod-R for the catgeory of right R-modules and R-module homomorphisms. Write mod-R for the (full) subcategory of finitely generated R-modules. Write Proj-R for the subcategory of projective modules, and proj-R for the subcategory of finitely generated projective modules. Two rings R, S are defined to be Morita equivalent if the categories Mod-R and Mod-S are equivalent. In fact, any such equivalence will be additive: this is a general fact about equivalences between abelian categories, since the sum of two morphisms f; g : X ! Y can be recovered as the composition f⊕g f + g : X −!∆ X ⊕ X −−−! Y ⊕ Y −!r Y of f ⊕ g with the diagonal and fold maps. -
Supersymmetric Sigma Model Geometry

Topics included are: The (hyper)kahler¨ reduction; projective superspace; the generalized Legendre construction; generalized Kahler¨ geometry and constructions of hyperkahler¨ metrics on Hermitian symmetric spaces. Keywords: supersymmetry; complex geometry; sigma models Classification: PACS 11.30.Pb Classification: MSC 53Z05 1. Introduction Sigma models take their name from a phenomenological model of beta decay introduced more than fifty years ago by Gell-Mann and Levy´ [1]. It contains pions and a new scalar meson that they called sigma. A generalization of this model is what is nowadays meant by a sigma model. It will be described in detail below. Non-linear sigma models arise in a surprising number of different contexts. Examples are effective field theories (coupled to gauge fields), the scalar sector of supergravity theories, etc. Not the least concern to modern high energy theory is the fact that the string action has the form of a sigma model coupled to two dimensional gravity and that the compactified dimensions carry the target space geometry dictated by supersymmetry. -
Diffeology, Groupoids & Morita Equivalence
Diffeology, Groupoids & Morita Equivalence M.Sc. Thesis in Mathematics Nesta van der Schaaf 22nd June 2020 Supervisor: Prof. dr. N.P. Landsman Second reader: Dr. I.T. Mărcuț Abstract This thesis consists of two parts. The first (Chapters I and II) is a thorough introduction to the theory of diffeology. We provide a ground-up account of the theory from the viewpoint of plots (in contrast to the sheaf-theoretic treatments). This includes a proof that the category Diffeol of diffeological spaces and smooth maps is complete and cocomplete, (locally) Cartesian closed, and a quasitopos. In addition, we treat many examples, including a detailed recollection of the classification of irrational tori. The second part (Chapters III to VI) is a proposal for a framework of diffeological Morita equivalence. We give definitions of diffeological groupoid actions, -bundles, and -bibundles, general- ising the known theory of Lie groupoids and their corresponding notions. We obtain a bicategory DiffeolBiBund of diffeological groupoids and diffeological bibundles. This has no analogue inthe Lie theory, since we put no ‘principality’ restrictions on these bibundles. We then define a new notion of principality for diffeological (bi)bundles, and subsequently obtain a notion of Morita equivalence by declaring that two diffeological groupoids are equivalent if and only if there existsa biprincipal bibundle between them. Our main new result is the following: two diffeological groupoids are Morita equivalent if and only if they are weakly equivalent in the bicategory DiffeolBiBund. Equivalently, this means that a diffeological bibundle is weakly invertible if and only if it is biprincipal. This significantly generalises the original theorem in the Lie groupoid setting, where an analogous state- ment can only be made if we assume one-sided principality beforehand. -
Categorical Quasivarieties Via Morita Equivalence 11
CATEGORICAL QUASIVARIETIES VIA MORITA EQUIVALENCE KEITH A. KEARNES Abstract. We give a new proof of the classification of 0-categorical quasivarieties by using Morita equivalence to reduce to@term min- imal quasivarieties. 1. Introduction When T is a first–order theory and λ is a cardinal, we write SpecT (λ) to denote the number of isomorphism classes of models of T which have power λ. T , or the class of models of T , is said to be λ{categorical if SpecT (λ) = 1. Baldwin and Lachlan proved in [1] that for a universal Horn class the following conditions are equivalent: Q is λ{categorical for some infinite λ and has a finite member. • Q Q is 0{categorical. • Q is λ@{categorical for all infinite λ. • Q This raises the question of which quasivarieties of algebras satisfy these conditions. Independently and at about the same time, Givant ([3], [4]) and Palyutin ([15], [16]) answered this question. Later, in [11], McKenzie gave a new proof using the newly developed techniques of tame congruence theory. In this paper we give another proof. Our proof, which is shorter than previous proofs, is based on the easily proved but crucial fact established in Lemma 5.3. Therefore, it is worthwhile now to explain the significance of this lemma. Let A be an algebra and let e be a unary term in the language of A. If A = e(e(x)) = e(x), then we call e an idempotent of A. If e is an idempjotent of A, then we call its range, e(A), a neighborhood of A. -

Simple $\Mathbb {Z} $-Graded Domains of Gelfand-Kirillov Dimension
SIMPLE Z-GRADED DOMAINS OF GELFAND–KIRILLOV DIMENSION TWO LUIGI FERRARO, JASON GADDIS, AND ROBERT WON Abstract. Let k be an algebraically closed field and A a Z-graded finitely generated simple k-algebra which is a domain of Gelfand–Kirillov dimension 2. We show that the category of Z-graded right A-modules is equivalent to the category of quasicoherent sheaves on a certain quotient stack. The the- ory of these simple algebras is closely related to that of a class of generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs). We prove a translation principle for the noncommu- tative schemes of these GWAs, shedding new light on the classical translation principle for the infinite-dimensional primitive quotients of U(sl2). 1. Introduction Let k denote an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Throughout this paper, all vector spaces are taken over k, all rings are k-algebras, and all categories and equivalences of categories are k-linear. k Suppose A = i∈N Ai is a right noetherian N-graded -algebra. There is a notion of a noncommutative projective scheme of A, defined by Artin and Zhang in [AZ94]. Let GrModL -A denote the category of N-graded right A-modules and let grmod -A denote its full subcategory of finitely generated modules. Let Tors-A (tors -A, respectively) denote the full subcategory of GrMod-A (grmod-A, respec- tively) consisting of torsion modules (see Section 2.2). Let QGrMod-A denote the quotient category GrMod -A/ Tors-A, let de- A note the image of AA in QGrMod -A, and let denote the shift operator on QGrMod-A. -
Orbifolds As Groupoids: an Introduction
Orbifolds as Groupoids: an Introduction Ieke Moerdijk Contents 1 Lie groupoids 2 2 Maps and Morita equivalence 4 3 Orbifold groupoids 7 4 The classifying space 11 5 Structures over orbifolds 12 6 Cohomology and inertia orbifolds 15 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to describe orbifolds in terms of (a certain kind of) groupoids. In doing so, I hope to convince you that the theory of (Lie) groupoids provides a most convenient language for developing the foundations of the theory of orbifolds. Indeed, rather than defining all kinds of structures and invariants in a seemingly ad hoc way, often in terms of local charts, one can use groupoids (which are global objects) as a bridge from orbifolds to standard arXiv:math/0203100v1 [math.DG] 11 Mar 2002 structures and invariants. This applies e.g. to the homotopy type of an orbifold (via the classifying space of the groupoid), the K-theory of an orbifold (via the equivariant vector bundles over the groupoid), the sheaf cohomology of an orbifold (via the derived category of equivariant sheaves over the groupoid), and many other such notions. Groupoids also help to clarify the relation between orbifolds and complexes of groups. Furthermore, the relation between orbifolds and non-commutative geometry is most naturally explained in terms of the convolution algebra of the groupoid. In this context, and in several others, the inertia groupoid of a given groupoid makes its natural appearance, and helps to explain how Bredon cohomology enters the theory of orbifolds. Groupoids play a fundamental rˆole in the theory of foliations, and from this point of view their use in the context of orbifolds is only natural (cf.
