Grothendieck Categories, Monoidal Categories and Frobenius Algebras University of Bucharest, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Grothendieck Categories, Monoidal Categories and Frobenius Algebras Author: Laura Elena N˘ast˘asescu Doctoral supervisor: Prof. Dr. Sorin D˘asc˘alescu A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bucharest, 2016 ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Grothendieck categories were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck in his paper [32] published in 1957. His aim was to use the homological alge- bra methods for the study of sheaves. A systematic study of Grothendieck categories was done by Gabriel in his thesis [28]. The study of Grothendieck categories has unified many theories in mathematics. Relevant examples of Grothendieck categories are: the category of left modules over a ring, the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on an algebraic variety, the category of sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space, the category of graded mod- ules over a graded ring, the category of comodules over a coalgebra, the cate- gory of generalized Doi-Hopf modules. At the beginning of the theory it was an open question whether any Grothendieck category is equivalent to a cate- gory of modules (over a ring). The answer turned out to be negative. For ex- ample it is possible to show that certain categories of graded modules are not equivelnt to a category of modules. However, Popescu and Gabriel proved in 1964 a famous theorem that shows that each Grothendieck category is equiv- alent to a quotient category of a module category, see [29]. More precisely, if A is a Grothendieck category with a generator G, R = EndA(G) is the endo- morphism ring of G and Mod(R) is the category of unitary right R-modules, then the functor T : A! Mod(R) defined by T (X) = HomA(G; X) on objects X of A and by T (f) = HomA(G; f): T (X) ! T (Y ) on morphisms f : X ! Y in A is fully faithful and has an exact left adjoint S. The initial proof was rather complicated; especially the part on the exactness of the functor S. In order to simplify the proof, the initial proof was revisited by several authors, among them the most elegant and short proof in chronologi- cal order where given by Takeuchi [65], Ulmer [67] and Mitchell [44]. The last one uses an ingenious lemma, that remained in literature as Mitchell Lemma and also the existence of enough injective objects in any Grothendieck cate- gory. 2 Abstract The concept of localization was first studied for commutative rings. In this case we consider P a prime ideal of a commutative ring R. The com- plement of this ideal is denoted by SP = R − P , that is a multiplicative set. Then we can consider the localizing subcategory of R − Mod denoted by −1 CP = fM 2 R − ModjSP M = 0g It is easy to see that this is the same thing with CP = fM 2 R − ModjHomR(M; E(R=P )) = 0g where E(R=P ) denotes the injective hull of R=P . Moreover, the quotient category R − Mod=CP is equivalent to the category RP − Mod of all left modules over the localized ring RP . When the notion of abelian category was introduced the notion of hereditary torsion theory appeared and it quickly became a powerful instrument for studying categories. A hereditary torsion theory in an arbitrary abelian category A is the same thing with having a localizing subcategory C in A. Moreover, for every localizing subcategory C in A we have the concept of quotient category A=C. The natural question to study here is the proximity between any localizing subcategory C of A and the localizing subcategories of CP -type. Cahen was the first who introduced a notion of "stability". He introduced this notion for a localizing subcategory of a module category over a commutative ring. In this case a localizing T subcategory is said to be stable if C = P 2X CP , for a set X ⊆ Spec(R). One of the aims of this thesis is to revisit the Gabriel-Popescu Theorem and its generalizations, and also to introduce a notion of stability in the general case of Grothendieck categories. Another aim is to look at special examples of Grothendieck categories, more precisely categories of corepre- sentations over Hopf algebras, and to investigate Frobenius algebras and symmetric algebras in such categories. Frobenius algebras originate in the work of F.G. Frobenius on representation theory of finite groups. Their study was initiated by Brauer, Nesbitt and Nakayama and then was continued by Dieudonne,Eilenberg, Azumaya etc. Frobenius algebras have played an im- portant role in Hopf algebra theory, because any finite dimensional Hopf alge- bra is Frobenius, cohomology rings of compact oriented manifolds, solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, Jones polynomials and topological quantum field theory. It is a challenging problem to understand the signifi- cance of Frobenius algebras in monoidal categories other than the categories Abstract 3 of vector spaces. We discuss this problem for the category of right comodules over a Hopf algebra H. Under additional assumptions on H, we also look at symmetric algebras in the category. A special attention is given to the case where H is a group Hopf algebra kG, where G is an arbitrary group; in this situation the category of corepresentations over H is just the category of G-graded vector spaces, and an algebra in the category is a G-graded alge- bra. One last direction of study in this thesis is also related to group graded algebras. The theory of algebras graded by an arbitrary group has been sys- tematically developed after 1970. The main two sources of inspiration were polynomial algebras with the (usual) positive grading by integers, and group algebras with the standard grading by the considered group. The study of group gradings on several classes of algebras have been of interest in commu- tative and noncommutative algebras, on Lie algebras and in representation theory. We are interested in gradings on polynomial algebras. The thesis is divided in four chapters. Chapter 1: Grothendieck categories. A generalization of Mitchell's Lemma In 1964 Pierre Gabriel and Nicolae Popescu showed that each Grothendieck category is equivalent to a quotient category of a module category. More precisely if: •A is a Grothendieck category with a generator G • R = EndA(G) is the endomorphism ring of G • Mod(R) the category of unitary right R-modules then the functor T : A! Mod(R) defined by: • T (X) = HomA(G; X), where X 2 A • T (f) = HomA(G; f): T (X) ! T (Y ) on morphisms f : X ! in A is fully faithful and has an exact left adjoint S. Afterward it was revisited by several authors; among the most elegant and short proofs in cronological order are those of Takeuchi, Ulmer and Mitchell. The latter uses an ingenious lemma, referred to as Mitchell Lemma. Our aim in this chapter is to extend the Mitchell lemma from module categories to functor categories and to show how it can be used in order 4 Abstract to obtain in an easier way the Ulmer Theorem on the exactness of S, a generalized Gabriel-Popescu Theorem and a generalized Takeuchi Lemma. We will use the following notations: •A a Grothendieck category •U the set of all objects of A Gen(U) = fA 2 Aj(9)f : L U ! A ! 0g, the full subcategory of Ui2U i A, that is a preabelian category of A (has kernels and cokernels) L •AU = fM 2 Aj(8) morfism f : U2F U ! M 2 A cu F o submul- time finita a lui U, Ker(f) 2 Gen(A)g Let (U op; Ab) be a category defined in the following way: • objects: the additive contravariant functors from U to Ab • morphisms: the natural transformations between such functors op (U ; Ab) is a Grothendieck category, whose functors (hU )U2U , where hU form a generating family of finitely generated projective objects for (U op; Ab). Consider the functor T : A! (U op; Ab) defined by: • T (X) = HomA(−;X)jU on objects X 2 A • T (f) = HomA(−; f)jU : T (X) ! T (Y ) on morphism f : X ! Y in A It is known that T has a left adjoint S :(U op; Ab) !A. In particular we have that S(hU ) = U,(8)U 2 U. The most important result of this chapter is the following: Lemma 1. (Generalized Mitchell Lemma) Consider: •U be a set of objects of A • A, B objects of A with A 2 AU • MA a subobject of T (A) op • G : MA ! T (B) a morphism in (U ; Ab) We denote: S • M = U2U MA(U) Abstract 5 • (8)m 2 M take Um 2 U for which m 2 MA(U) L • (8)m 2 M, pm : m2M Um ! Um the canonical projection L • : m2M Um ! A the unique morphism with um = m, (8)m 2 M L • φ : m2M Um ! B the unique morphism with φum = GU (m), (8)m 2 MA(U) The φ factors through Im( ). We will have the following three important applications, that follow di- rectly from Mitchell Lemma. Theorem 2. (Ulmer) The functor S :(U op; Ab) !A is exact if and only if U ⊆ AU . Theorem 3. (Generalized Gabriel Popescu) Assume that U is a family of A. Then T : A! (U op; Ab) is a full and faithful functor, and its left adjoint S :(U op; Ab) !A is exact. Corollary 4. (Takeuchi Lemma): Let A be an object of A, let YA be a subobject of T (A) and denote by i : YA ! T (A) the inclusion morphism.

External Examiner: Dr. Henning Krause, University of Bielefeld Supervisor: Dr. Donald Stanley, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: Dr. Allen Herman, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: *Dr. Fernando Szechtman, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: Dr. Yiyu Yao, Department of Computer Science Chair of Defense: Dr. Renata Raina-Fulton, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry *Not present at defense Abstract Two approaches for classifying subcategories of a category are given. We examine the class of Serre subcategories in an abelian category as our first target, using the concepts of monoform objects and the associated atom spectrum [13]. Then we generalize this idea to give a classification of nullity classes in an abelian category, using premonoform objects instead to form a new spectrum so that there is a bijection between the collection of nullity classes and that of closed and extension closed subsets of the spectrum.

  • Non-Exactness of Direct Products of Quasi-Coherent Sheaves
    Documenta Math. 2037 Non-Exactness of Direct Products of Quasi-Coherent Sheaves Ryo Kanda Received: March 19, 2019 Revised: September 4, 2019 Communicated by Henning Krause Abstract. For a noetherian scheme that has an ample family of invertible sheaves, we prove that direct products in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves are not exact unless the scheme is affine. This result can especially be applied to all quasi-projective schemes over commutative noetherian rings. The main tools of the proof are the Gabriel-Popescu embedding and Roos’ characterization of Grothendieck categories satisfying Ab6 and Ab4*. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14F05 (Primary), 18E20, 16D90, 16W50, 13C60 (Secondary) Keywords and Phrases: Quasi-coherent sheaf, divisorial scheme, invertible sheaf, direct product, Gabriel-Popescu embedding, Grothendieck category Contents 1 Introduction 2038 Acknowledgments 2039 2 Gabriel-Popescu embedding and Roos’ theorem 2039 2.1 Preliminaries ............................2039 2.2 Gabriel-Popescu embedding ....................2043 2.3 Roos’ theorem ...........................2045 3 Divisorial noetherian schemes 2047 References 2054 Documenta Mathematica 24 (2019) 2037–2056 2038 Ryo Kanda 1 Introduction The class of Grothendieck categories is a large framework that includes • the category Mod R of right modules over a ring R, • the category QCoh X of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme X, and • the category of sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space. One of the significant properties of Mod R for rings R among Grothendieck categories is the exactness of direct products, which is known as Grothendieck’s condition Ab4*. This is immediately verified by direct computation, but it is also a consequence of the fact that Mod R has enough projectives.

NICOLAE POPESCU (*) - CONSTANTIN VRACIU (**) SUMMARY - Let K be a field and v a valuation on K. Denote by K(X) the field of ra- tional functions of one variable over K. In this paper we go further in the study of the extensions of v to K(X). Now our aim is to characterize two types of composite valuations: r.a. extensions of first kind (Theorem 2.1) and the composite of two r.t. extension (Theorem 3.1). The results obtained are based on the fundamental theorem of characterization of r.t. extensions of a valua- tion (see [2], Theorem 1.2, and [6]) and on the theorem of irreducibility of lift- ing polynomials (see [7], Corollary 4.7 and [9], Theorem 2.1).

  • On the Voevodsky Motive of the Moduli Space of Higgs Bundles on a Curve
    ON THE VOEVODSKY MOTIVE OF THE MODULI SPACE OF HIGGS BUNDLES ON A CURVE VICTORIA HOSKINS AND SIMON PEPIN LEHALLEUR Abstract We study the motive of the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve C over a field k under the assumption that C has a rational point. We show this motive is contained in the thick tensor subcategory of Voevodsky's triangulated category of motives with rational coefficients generated by the motive of C. Moreover, over a field of characteristic zero, we prove a motivic non-abelian Hodge correspondence: the integral motives of the Higgs and de Rham moduli spaces are isomorphic. Contents 1.

  • Perpendicular Categories with Applications to Representations and Sheaves
    JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 14, 273-343 (1991) Perpendicular Categories with Applications to Representations and Sheaves WERNER GEIGLE AND HELMUT LENZING Fachbereich Mathematik, Universitiit-GH Paderborn, D-4790 Paderborn, Germany Communicated by Walter Feit Received March 20, 1989 DEDICATED TO PROFESSORHIROYUKI TACHIKAWA ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY This paper is concerned with the omnipresence of the formation of the sub- categories right (left) perpendicular to a subcategory of objects in an abelian category. We encounter these subcategories in various contexts: l the formation of quotient categories with respect to localizing subcategories (cf. Section 2); w the deletion of vertices and shrinking of arrows (see [37]) in the representa- tion theory of finite dimensional algebras (cf. Section 5); l the comparison of the representation theories of different extended Dynkin quivers (cf. Section 10); l the theory of tilting (cf. Sections 4 and 6); l the study of homological epimorphisms of rings (cf. Section 4); l the passage from graded modules to coherent sheaveson ‘a possibly weighted projective variety or scheme (cf. Section 7 and [21]); l the study of (maximal) Cohen-Macaulay modules over surface singularities (cf. Section 8); . the comparison of weighted projective lines for different weight sequences (cf. Section 9); l the formation of atline and local algebras attached to path algebras of extended Dynkin quivers, canonical algebras, and weighted projective lines (cf. Section 11 and [21] and the concept of universal localization in [40]). Formation of the perpendicular category has many aspects in common with localization and allows one to dispose of localization techniques in situations not accessible to any of the classical concepts of localization.

  • Classifying Finite Localizations of Quasicoherent Sheaves
    Algebra i analiz St. Petersburg Math. J. Tom 21 (2009), 3 Vol. 21 (2010), No. 3, Pages 433–458 S 1061-0022(10)01102-7 Article electronically published on February 26, 2010 CLASSIFYING FINITE LOCALIZATIONS OF QUASICOHERENT SHEAVES G. GARKUSHA In memory of Vera Puninskaya Abstract. Given a quasicompact, quasiseparated scheme X, a bijection between the tensor localizing subcategories of finite type in Qcoh(X) and the set of all subsets ⊆ \ ∈ Y X of the form Y = i∈Ω Yi,withX Yi quasicompact and open for all i Ω, is established. As an application, an isomorphism of ringed spaces ∼ (X, OX ) −→ (spec(Qcoh(X)), OQcoh(X)) is constructed, where (spec(Qcoh(X)), OQcoh(X)) is a ringed space associated with the lattice of tensor localizing subcategories of finite type. Also, a bijective correspon- dence between the tensor thick subcategories of perfect complexes Dper(X)andthe tensor localizing subcategories of finite type in Qcoh(X) is established. §1. Introduction In his celebrated paper [1] on Abelian categories, Gabriel proved that for any Noe- therian scheme X, the assignments ⊇D→ ⊇ →{ ∈ | ⊆ } (1.1) coh X suppX (x)andX U x coh X suppX (x) U x∈D induce bijections between (1) the set of all tensor Serre subcategories of coh X,and ⊆ ∈ (2) the set of all subsets U X of the form U = i∈Ω Yi, where, for all i Ω, Yi has a quasicompact open complement X \ Yi. As a consequence of this result, X can be reconstructed from its Abelian category, coh X, of coherent sheaves (see Buan–Krause–Solberg [2, §8]).

  • Types of Serre Subcategories of Grothendieck Categories
    TYPES OF SERRE SUBCATEGORIES OF GROTHENDIECK CATEGORIES JIAN FENG, PU ZHANG∗ Abstract. Every Serre subcategory of an abelian category is assigned a unique type. The type of a Serre subcategory of a Grothendieck category is in the list: (0, 0), (0, −1), (1, −1), (0, −2), (1, −2), (2, −1), (+∞, −∞); and for each (m, −n) in this list, there exists a Serre subcategory such that its type is (m, −n). This uses right (left) recollements of abelian categories, Tachikawa-Ohtake [TO] on strongly hereditary torsion pairs, and Geigle-Lenzing [GL] on localizing subcategories. If all the functors in a recollement of abelian categories are exact, then the recollement splits. Quite surprising, any left recollement of a Grothendieck category can be extended to a recollement; but this is not true for a right recollement. Thus, a colocalizing subcategory of a Grothendieck category is localizing; but the converse is not true. All these results do not hold in triangulated categories. Key words and phrases. the type of a Serre subcategory, right recollement, strongly hereditary torsion pair, quotient functor, localizing subcategory, Grothendieck category 1. Introduction Given a Serre subcategory S of an abelian category A with inclusion functor i : S → A and quotient functor Q : A → A/S, it is fundamental to know when it is localizing (resp. colocalizing), i.e., Q has a right (resp. left) adjoint ([S], [G]). By W. Geigle and H. Lenzing [GL], S is localizing if and only if there exists an exact sequence 0 → S1 → A → C → S2 → 0 with S1 ∈ S, S2 ∈ S, and C ∈ S⊥≤1 ; and if and only if the restriction Q : S⊥≤1 → A/S is an equivalence of categories.

  • CONSTRUCTION of T-STRUCTURES and EQUIVALENCES of DERIVED CATEGORIES
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 355, Number 6, Pages 2523{2543 S 0002-9947(03)03261-6 Article electronically published on January 30, 2003 CONSTRUCTION OF t-STRUCTURES AND EQUIVALENCES OF DERIVED CATEGORIES LEOVIGILDO ALONSO TARR´IO, ANA JEREM´IAS LOPEZ,´ AND MAR´IA JOSESOUTOSALORIO´ Abstract. We associate a t-structure to a family of objects in D( ), the A derived category of a Grothendieck category . Using general results on t- A structures, we give a new proof of Rickard's theorem on equivalence of bounded derived categories of modules. Also, we extend this result to bounded derived categories of quasi-coherent sheaves on separated divisorial schemes obtaining, in particular, Be˘ılinson's equivalences. Introduction One important observation in modern homological algebra is that sometimes equivalences of derived categories do not come from equivalences of the initial abelian categories. A remarkable example of this situation is that of complexes of holonomic regular -modules and complexes of locally constructible finite type sheaves of vector spacesD over an analytic variety. In fact, to a single regular holo- nomic -module there corresponds a full complex of constructible sheaves which are calledD \perverse sheaves". In turn, these sheaves are connected with intersection cohomology that allows us to recover Poincar´e duality for singular analytic spaces. It is a crucial fact that a (bounded) derived category Db may contain, as full subcategories, abelian categories that are not isomorphic to the initial one but whose (bounded) derived category is isomorphic to Db. These facts have been categorized by Be˘ılinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber in [BBD] through the concept of t-structures.At-structure in a triangulated category T is given by functors which resemble the usual truncation functors in derived categories and provide as a by-product an abelian full subcategory of T,itsheart, together with a homological functor on T with values in .

  • Localization of Triangulated Categories and Derived Categories
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 141, 463-483 (1991) Localization of Triangulated Categories and Derived Categories JUN-ICHI MIYACHI Department of Mathematics, Tokyo Gakugei University, Koganei-shi, Tokyo, 184, Japan Communicated by Kent R. Fuller Received June 12, 1989 INTRODUCTION The notion of quotient and localization of abelian categories by dense subcategories (i.e., Serre classes) was introduced by Gabriel, and plays an important role in ring theory [6, 131. The notion of triangulated categories was introduced by Grothendieck and developed by Verdier [9, 16) and is recently useful in representation theory [8,4, 143. The quotient of tri- angulated categories by epaisse subcategories is constructed in [16]. Both quotients were indicated by Grothendieck, and they resemble each other. In this paper, we will consider triangulated categories and derived categories from the point of view of localization of abelian categories. Verdier gave a condition which is equivalent to the one that a quotient functor has a right adjoint, and considered a relation between tpaisse sub- categories [16]. We show that localization of triangulated categories is similarly defined, and have a relation between localizations and Cpaisse subcategories. Beilinson, Bernstein, and Deligne introduced the notion of t-structure which is similar to torsion theory in abelian categories [2]. We, in particular, consider a stable t-structure, which is an epaisse subcategory, and deal with a correspondence between localizations of triangulated categories and stable r-structures. And then recollement, in the sense of [2], is equivalent to bilocalization.
