Abstract

We prove that the homotopy algebraic K-theory of tame quasi-DM stacks satisfies cdh-descent. We apply this descent result to prove that if X is a Noetherian tame quasi-DM stack and i < -dim(X), then K_i(X)[1/n] = 0 (resp. K_i(X, Z/n) = 0) provided that n is nilpotent on X (resp. is invertible on X). Our descent and vanishing results apply more generally to certain Artin stacks whose stabilizers are extensions of finite group schemes by group schemes of multiplicative type.

Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology ring of the Xu--Snashall algebra

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra and let $\rmHH^*(A)$ be its Hochschild cohomology ring, which is a Gerstenhaber algebra. Denote by $\calN$ (resp. $G$, $\calG$) the ideal (resp. weak Gerstenhaber ideal, Gerstenhaber ideal) generated by all homogeneous nilpotent elements. Motivated by their work on support varieties via Hochschild cohomology, Snashall and Solberg conjectured that $\rmHH^*(A)/\calN$ is a finitely generated algebra. Xu constructed a counterexample to the Snashall-Solberg conjecture over a base field of characteristic two, and Snashall generalized this example to arbitrary characteristic. Hermann further asked whether $\rmHH^*(A)/G$ is a finitely generated algebra and suggested considering first the Xu--Snashall algebra. In this paper, we answer this question for the Xu--Snashall algebra. In fact, by explicitly computing the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology ring, we show that $G=\calN$; hence $\rmHH^*(A)/G=\rmHH^*(A)/\calN$ is not a finitely generated algebra. Furthermore, we show that $\rmHH^*(A)/\calG\cong K$. Therefore, one may ask whether, for a finite dimensional algebra $A$, $\rmHH^*(A)/\calG$ is always a finitely generated algebra. Our main tools are two-sided Anick resolutions and weak self-homotopies.

K-theory of Matroids and Monoid Schemes

This paper continues the study of the $K$-theory of monoid schemes, using it to give a useful definition of the higher $K$-theory of a matroid via its Bergman fan.

Improved injective stability for relative $\mathrm{K_1Sp}$-groups

We prove a relative version of Vorst's theorem concerning the equality of the group of all invertible matrices and the group of all elementary matrices over $R[X]$ with respect to an ideal $I\subset R$ such that $R/I$ is regular, where $R$ is a regular $k$-spot. We then introduce a relative version of the symplectic elementary Witt group and show that it fits into a relative version of the Karoubi periodicity sequence. Combining these results, we improve the existing injective stability bounds for relative linear and symplectic $\mathrm{K_1}$-groups of smooth affine algebras over various base fields. As an application, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the freeness of stably free modules over smooth real $4$-folds with empty real locus.
