SPECTRAL SEQUENCES and an APPLICATION to the SYMMETRY of TOR Fan Zhou Fanzhou@College.Harvard.Edu SPECTRAL SEQUENCES AND AN APPLICATION TO THE SYMMETRY OF TOR Fan Zhou [email protected] In this expository note we will quickly develop spectral sequences and use them to prove the symmetry of the Tor functor.

References 13 It seems most common in the literature for spectral sequences to begin on page 1. I suppose it doesn't really matter, but it seems as if by starting at page 0 many of the indices in the setup are greatly simplified. I therefore adopt this approach and hope that I do not mess up any indices in transitioning. We begin with some groundwork on spectral sequences; in the interest of length we will not prove any results about spectral sequences. We will however use them to prove the symmetry of the Tor functor, a property I used in M231a but which we did not prove. 1. Bare Basics: Bi-things Recall that the notion of a graded module: 0 Definition. A graded R-module is an indexed family B B M = (Mµ)µ2Z B B of R-modules. B B A graded map of degree a between graded modules M and N is B B B f : M −! N B B a family of maps B B f = fµ : Mµ −! Nµ+a @ µ2Z where we write deg f = a. These objects still admit index-wise notions of submodules, quotient modules, kernels, and images (and therefore exactness). Note as a minor detail that there would need to be some index correction f g sometimes; for example, A −! B −! C is exact when Img fµ−deg f = Ker gµ. 1 A (homological, i.e. decreasing index) chain complex can then be phrased as a graded module equipped with a map d such that deg d = −1 and d2 = 0. Recall that given such information we may then construct homology. Similarly one can define a bigraded module: 0 Definition. A bigraded R-module is an indexed family B M = (M ) B µ,ν µ,ν2Z B B of R-modules. B B A graded map of degree (a; b) between bigraded modules M and N is B B B f : M −! N B B a family of maps B B f = fµ,ν : Mµ,ν −! Nµ+a,ν+b @ µ,ν2Z where we write deg f = (a; b). Just as in the singly-graded case, this admits index-wise notions of submodules1 and quotient mod- ules and kernels and images and exactness. There is also an analogous notion of a chain complex, in the sense that here we may also take homology: 0 Definition. A differential bigraded module is (M; d) for a bigraded module M and a bigraded map B (the differential) d: M −! M with B 2 B d = 0: B B For deg d = (a; b), we may then construct homology in much the same manner: B @ Ker d Hµ,ν(M; d) := µ,ν=Img dµ−a,ν−b: 2. Exact Couples There is the notion of an exact couple: 0 Definition. An exact couple is (D; E; α; β; γ) where D; E are bigraded modules and α; β; γ are B bigraded maps between them fitting in a diagram B B α β γ α B D −! D −! E −! D −! D B B B which is exact, i.e. B B Ker α = Img γ; B B @ Ker β = Img α; Ker γ = Img β: The diagram that people usually draw is D α D γ β E 1 E.g. N ⊆ M if Nµν ⊆ Mµν for every index. 2 Given an exact couple (which we will denote with (D0;E0)), one can obtain others: 2 Proposition. Construct the first derived couple (D1;E1; α1; β1; γ1) by 6 1 0 0 6 D := Img α ⊆ D ; 6 6 1 0 0 6 E := H••(E ; d ); 6 6 0 : 0 0 0 0 6 d = β γ : E −! E ; 6 1 0 6 α := α j 1 ; 6 D 6 6 β1 := [β0(α0)◦−1 ]; 6 6 1 0 6 γ := γ ; 6 6 0 ◦−1 0;◦−1 0 6 where (α ) = α refers to the compositional inverse of α in 6 6 1 0 0 ◦−1 1 6 β (y) = [β (α ) (y)] for y 2 D 6 6 and 6 6 γ1[z] = γ0(z) for [z] 2 E1: 6 6 Note well that D1 ⊆ D0, so the indexing we are taking here is D1 := Img α . Note also 6 µ,ν µ−a1,ν−a2 6 that 6 6 1 0 6 deg α = deg α = (a1; a2); 6 6 1 0 0 6 deg β = deg β − deg α = (b1 − a1; b2 − a2); 6 6 1 0 6 deg γ = deg γ : 6 6 The content of the claim is that this is still an exact couple. 6 6 We can then iterate this construction to obtain (Dk;Ek; αk; βk; γk) the k-th derived couple, 6 6 defined recursively as the derived couple of the (k − 1)-th derived couple, which would be (we drop 6 6 the zero in α0 = α and similarly for other maps) 6 6 6 Dk = Img α◦k ⊆ D0 6 6 k 6 (Dµ,ν = Img αµ−a1,ν−a2 αµ−2a1,ν−2a2 ··· αµ−ka1,ν−ka2 ); 6 6 k k−1 k−1 6 E = H••(E ; d ); 6 6 k ◦−k 6 d = βα γ; 6 6 k 6 α = αjDk ; 6 6 βk = βα◦−k; 6 6 6 γk = γ; 6 6 6 with degrees 6 6 k 6 deg α = deg α; 6 6 deg βk = deg β − k deg α; 6 6 4 deg γk = deg γ: (wow this took up a whole page) 3 3. Filtrations Recall that a filtration of a module M is a family of submodules · · · ⊆ M µ−1 ⊆ M µ ⊆ M µ+1 ⊆ · · · : Recall that given such a filtration we could consider Grµ M := M µ=M µ−1 and M Gr M := Grµ M: µ Recall that given a complex C, we may consider filtrations: 0 Definition. A (increasing) filtration of a complex (C; d) is a family of graded submodules B µ B (F C)µ2Z B B with B B · · · ⊆ F µ−1C ⊆ F µC ⊆ F µ+1C ⊆ · · · B B B which is compatible with d: B µ µ B d: (F C)n −! (F C)n−1: B B A filtration is moreover said to be bounded if, for each n, there are a; b depending on n such that B B a @ F Cn = 0; b F Cn = Cn: µ µ µ µ µ µ We may shorten (F C)n to F Cn. We might also write C for F C, and C n for F Cn, in line with the philosophy that these things should be considered as filtrations of complexes rather than complexes of filtrations. Given a filtration, we may obtain an exact couple by looking at the long exact sequence of a pair. Namely, by considering ιµ−1 πµ 0 −! F µ−1C −! F µC −! F µC=F µ−1C −! 0 we obtain a long exact sequence α µ β µ µ−1 ··· Hn+1(F C) Hn+1(F C=F C) γ µ−1 µ µ−1 α=ι∗ µ β=π∗ µ µ−1 Hn(F C) Hn(F C) Hn(F C=F C) γ=δ µ−1 α Hn−1(F C) ··· 4 2 Proposition. Given a filtration of a complex, we may obtain an exact couple with 6 D = H (F µC); 6 µ,ν µ+ν 6 6 E = H (F µC=F µ−1C); 6 µ,ν µ+ν 6 µ−1 6 α = ι ; 6 ∗ 6 µ 6 β = π∗ ; 6 6 γ = δ; 6 6 6 so that the k-th derived exact couple is 6 µ−1 µ−k 6 (ι ···ι )∗ 6 Dk = Img H (F µ−kC) −! H (F µC) ; 6 µ,ν µ+ν µ+ν 6 6 k−1 k−1 6 Ek = Ker dµ,ν Img d ; 6 µ,ν = µ+k,ν−(k−1) 6 6 6 deg α = (1; −1); 6 6 deg β = (−k; k); 6 6 6 deg γ = (−1; 0); 6 4 deg dk = (−k − 1; k): Just so there's a picture, here is what this looks like at k = 0: α β ··· Dµ,ν+1 Eµ,ν+1 γ α β Dµ−1,ν+1 Dµ,ν Eµ,ν γ=δ α Dµ−1,ν ··· 4. Spectral Sequences Let us define what a spectral sequence is. Again you should be warned that people tend to start at page 1; because I like to be special I will start at page 02. 0 Definition. A spectral sequence is a sequence B k k B (E ; d )k≥0 B B B of differential bigraded modules such that @ k k−1 k−1 E = H••(E ; d ): Then, as we saw above, every filtration of a complex produces an exact couple whose derived exact couples give a spectral sequence. small If the filtration is moreover bounded (recall this means that for each n, eventually F Cn = 0 big and F Cn = Cn), then we may say something much better: 2Possibly I'll learn sometime later down the line that there's actually a generating function associated to these things and for that reason you should want to start at page 1, but whatever.

  • Functor Homology and Operadic Homology
    FUNCTOR HOMOLOGY AND OPERADIC HOMOLOGY BENOIT FRESSE Abstract. The purpose of these notes is to define an equivalence between the natural homology theories associated to operads and the homology of functors over certain categories of operators (PROPs) related to operads. Introduction The aim of these notes is to prove that the natural homology theory associated to an operad is equivalent the homology of a category of functors over a certain category of operators associated to our operad. Recall that an operad P in a symmetric monoidal category C basically consists of a sequence of objects P(n) 2 C, n 2 N, of which elements p 2 P(n) (whenever the notion of an element makes sense) intuitively represent operations on n inputs and with 1 output: p A⊗n = A ⊗ · · · ⊗ A −! A; | {z } n for any n 2 N. In short, an operad is defined axiomatically as such a sequence of objects P = fP(n); n 2 Ng equipped with an action of the symmetric group Σn on the term P(n), for each n 2 N, together with composition products which are shaped on composition schemes associate with such operations. The notion of an operad is mostly used to define a category of algebras, which basically consists of objects A 2 C on which the operations of our operad p 2 P(n) act. We use the term of a P-algebra, and the notation P C, to refer to this category of algebras associated to any given operad P. Recall simply that the usual category of associative algebras in a category of modules over a ring k, the category of (associative and) commutative algebras, and the category of Lie algebras, are associated to operads, which we respectively denote by P = As; Com; Lie.

    ON HOMOLOGY OF LIE ALGEBRAS OVER COMMUTATIVE RINGS SERGEI O. IVANOV, FEDOR PAVUTNITSKIY, VLADISLAV ROMANOVSKII, AND ANATOLII ZAIKOVSKII Abstract. We study five different types of the homology of a Lie algebra over a commutative ring which are naturally isomorphic over fields. We show that they are not isomorphic over commutative rings, even over Z, and study connections between them. In particular, we show that they are naturally isomorphic in the case of a Lie algebra which is flat as a module. As an auxiliary result we prove that the Koszul complex of a module M over a principal ideal domain that connects the exterior and the symmetric powers n n−1 n−1 n 0 → Λ M → M ⊗ Λ M → ⋅⋅⋅ → S M ⊗ M → S M → 0 is purely acyclic. Introduction There are several equivalent purely algebraic definitions of group homology of a group G. Namely one can define it using Tor functor over the group ring; or the relative Tor functor; or in the simplicial manner, as a simplicial derived functor of the functor of abelianization (see [28, Ch. II, §5]). For Lie algebras over a field we can also define homology in several equivalent ways, including the homology of the Chevalley–Eilenberg complex. Moreover, for a Lie algebra g over a commutative ring k, which is free as a k-module we also have several equivalent definitions (see [7, Ch. XIII]). However, in general, even in the case k = Z, these definitions are not equivalent. For example, if we consider g = Z 2 as an abelian Lie algebra over Z, the / Ug Z Z higher homology of the Chevalley–Eilenberg complex vanishes but Tor2n+1 , = Z 2 for any n ≥ 0.

  • 1. Basic Properties of the Tor Functor for Exercises 24–26 on Pages 34
    1. Basic properties of the tor functor For exercises 24–26 on pages 34–35 of Atiyah-Macdonald, let us review the definition and basic properties of the Tor functor. Let M and N be A-modules and consider a free resolution of M, say d3 d2 d1 d0 · · · −−−−→ F2 −−−−→ F1 −−−−→ F0 −−−−→ M −−−−→ 0. Consider the complex d3 d2 d1 · · · −−−−→ F2 −−−−→ F1 −−−−→ F0 −−−−→ 0 obtained by deleting M. A The A-modules Torn (M, N) may be defined as the homology modules of the complex obtained by tensoring with N. Thus A (ker dn ⊗ 1) Torn (M, N) = . (im dn+1 ⊗ 1) An important fact is that one gets the same modules no matter what free (or projective) resolution one takes A ∼ A of M. It is also the case that Torn (M, N) = Torn (N,M). A basic property of the Tor functor is that if 0 −−−−→ M ′ −−−−→ M −−−−→ M ′′ −−−−→ 0 is a short exact sequence of A-modules, then tensoring this sequence over A with N induces a long exact sequence A ′′ A ′ A · · · −−−−→ Tor2 (M , N) −−−−→ Tor1 (M , N) −−−−→ Tor1 (M, N) −−−−→ A ′′ ′ ′′ Tor1 (M , N) −−−−→ M ⊗A N −−−−→ M ⊗A N −−−−→ M ⊗A N −−−−→ 0. In particular, if F is a free A-module and 0 −−−−→ K −−−−→ F −−−−→ M −−−−→ 0 A ∼ A is a short exact sequence, then we have Tori+1(M, N) = Tori (K, N) for each positive integer i and A Tor1 (M, N) measures how far tensoring with N fails to preserve exactness of the given sequence. Let I and J be ideals in a ring A.

    SEMI–INFINITE COHOMOLOGY AND HECKE ALGEBRAS A. SEVOSTYANOV Abstract. This paper provides a homological algebraic foundation for gen- eralizations of classical Hecke algebras introduced in [21]. These new Hecke algebras are associated to triples of the form (A,A0,ε), where A is an as- sociative algebra over a field k containing subalgebra A0 with augmentation ε : A0 → k. These algebras are connected with cohomology of associative algebras in the sense that for every left A–module V and right A–module W the Hecke algebra associated to triple (A,A0,ε) naturally acts in the A0–cohomology and A0–homology spaces of V and W , respectively. We also introduce the semi–infinite cohomology functor for associative al- gebras and define modifications of Hecke algebras acting in semi–infinite co- homology spaces. We call these algebras semi–infinite Hecke algebras. As an example we realize the W–algebra Wk(g) associated to a complex semisimple Lie algebra g as a semi–infinite Hecke algebra. Using this real- ization we explicitly calculate the algebra Wk(g) avoiding the bosonization technique used in [11]. Contents Introduction 2 1. Hecke algebras 4 1.1. Notation and recollections 4 1.2.

  • Some Isomorphisms of Abelian Groups Involving the Tor Functor
    proceedings of the american mathematical society Volume 110, Number 1, September 1990 SOME ISOMORPHISMS OF ABELIAN GROUPS INVOLVING THE TOR FUNCTOR PATRICK KEEF (Communicated by Warren J. Wong) Abstract. Given a reduced group G, the class of groups A such that A = Tor(.4, G) is studied. A complete characterization is obtained when G is separable. Introduction In this note, the term "group" will mean an abelian p-group for some fixed prime p . The notation and terminology will generally follow [3]. By a ©c we mean a direct sum of cyclic groups. An important result in the study of the Tor functor states that for any group A there is an isomorphism A = Tor(A, Z»). The purpose of this work is to explore the class of groups that result when Z «> is replaced by some other group, i.e., given a group G, find all groups A such that A = Tor(^4, G). We are primarily concerned with reduced G. Examples of groups A satisfying A = Tor(A, G) are found of any length not exceeding the length of G. We also construct examples of groups A that are Tor-idempotent, i.e. A = Tor(A, A). Our most impressive results occur in the case of separable groups (i.e., groups with no elements of infinite height). A new characterization of ©^ is given in terms of iterated torsion products of separable groups. This allows us to conclude that when G is separable, any group A satisfying A = Tor(A, G) is a @c and hence that any separable Tor-idempotent group is a ©c.

  • Differential Forms on Regular Affine Algebras
    DIFFERENTIAL FORMS ON REGULAR AFFINE ALGEBRAS BY G. HOCHSCHILD, BERTRAM ROSTANT AND ALEX ROSENBERG(') 1. Introduction. The formal apparatus of the algebra of differential forms appears as a rather special amalgam of multilinear and homological algebra, which has not been satisfactorily absorbed in the general theory of derived functors. It is our main purpose here to identify the exterior algebra of differ- ential forms as a certain canonical graded algebra based on the Tor functor and to obtain the cohomology of differential forms from the Ext functor of a universal algebra of differential operators similar to the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra. Let K be a field, E a commutative E-algebra, Tr the E-module of all E-derivations of E, Dr the E-module of the formal K-differentials (see §4) on E. It is an immediate consequence of the definitions that Tr may be identified with HomR(DR, R). However, in general, Dr is not identifiable with Homie(Fie, E). The algebra of the formal differentials is the exterior E- algebra E(Dr) built over the E-module Dr. The algebra of the differential forms is the E-algebra HomÄ(£(Fie), E), where E(Tr) is the exterior E-algebra built over Tr and where the product is the usual "shuffle" product of alter- nating multilinear maps. The point of departure of our investigation lies in the well-known and elementary observation that Tr and Dr are naturally isomorphic with Extfi.(E, E) and Torf(E, E), respectively, where Ee = E<8>x E. Moreover, both Extfl«(E, E) and Tors'(E, E) can be equipped in a natural fashion with the structure of a graded skew-commutative E-algebra, and there is a natural duality homomorphism h: Extfl«(E, E)—>HomR(TorR'(R, E), E), which ex- tends the natural isomorphism of Tr onto HomÄ(T>Ä, E).

Given a Serre class S of modules, we compare the containment of the Koszul homology, Ext modules, Tor modules, local homology, and local cohomology in S up to a given bound s ≥ 0. As some applications, we give a full characteriza- tion of noetherian local homology modules. Further, we establish a comprehensive vanishing result which readily leads to the formerly known descriptions of the numer- ical invariants width and depth in terms of Koszul homology, local homology, and local cohomology. Also, we immediately recover a few renowned vanishing criteria scattered about the literature. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Prerequisites 3 3. Proofs of the main results 6 4.

Introduction Throughout this paper, R denotes a commutative noetherian ring with identity, and M(R) designates the category of R-modules. The theory of local cohomology was invented and introduced by A. Grothendieck about six decades ago and has since been tremendously delved and developed by various algebraic geometers and commutative algebraists. arXiv:1701.07727v2 [math.AC] 26 Apr 2018 There exists a dual theory, called the theory of local homology, which was initiated by Matlis [Mat2] and [Mat1] in 1974, and its investigation was continued by Simon in [Si1] and [Si2]. After the ground-breaking achievements of Greenlees and May [GM], and Alonso Tarr´ıo, Jerem´ıas L´opez and Lipman [AJL], a new era in the study of this theory has undoubtedly begun; see e.g.
