Abstract

We extend the support theory of Benson--Iyengar--Krause to the non-Noetherian setting by introducing a new notion of small support for modules. This enables us to prove that the stable module category of a finite group is canonically stratified by the action of the Tate cohomology ring, despite the fact that this ring is rarely Noetherian. In the tensor triangular context, we compare the support theory proposed by W. Sanders (which extends the Balmer--Favi support theory beyond the weakly Noetherian setting) with our generalized BIK support theory. When the Balmer spectrum is homeomorphic to the Zariski spectrum of the endomorphism ring of the unit, the two support theories coincide as do their associated theories of stratification. We also prove a negative result which states that the Balmer--Favi--Sanders support theory can only stratify categories whose spectra are weakly Noetherian. This provides additional justification for the weakly Noetherian hypothesis in the work of Barthel, Heard and B. Sanders. On the other hand, the detection property and the local-to-global principle remain interesting in the general setting.

Persistent Simple-homotopy invariants via discrete Morse theory

Persistent homology records the evolution of homological features along a filtration, but does not retain finer information related to simple-homotopy theory. In this paper, we develop two approaches to capturing such information for filtered simplicial complexes. We first introduce the Morse complexity profile, which records the minimal number of critical simplices at each filtration level. We study its invariance and stability properties and develop computable approximations using several discrete Morse matchings. We then introduce a persistent version of Whitehead torsion and show that it is invariant under both levelwise homotopy equivalence and interleaving equivalence of filtrations.

Signed GLMY Homology of Signed Graphs via Double Covers

We define a signed GLMY chain complex over $\mathbb{R}$ for signed digraphs using sheet-labelled regular paths. The complex is naturally isomorphic to the deck anti-invariant subcomplex of the ordinary GLMY complex on the signed double cover. The double-cover realization yields switching invariance and recovers ordinary GLMY homology for switching-balanced signings. Bidirected completion gives an orientation-independent homology theory for signed graphs. For a signed graph, the zero-dimensional homology identifies with the kernel of the signed Laplacian and has dimension equal to the number of balanced connected components. Signed GLMY homology is functorial under signed weak morphisms, which combine vertex maps with switching functions and allow compatible arrow contractions. For signed digraphs, the all-positive reduction retains the orientation sensitivity of ordinary GLMY homology, while explicit computations show additional sensitivity to the arrow signs. For a fixed digraph with five vertices and nine arrows, we classify all 512 arrow signings and obtain exactly four signed Betti vectors. Precisely 16 signings have nonzero second signed GLMY homology.

Gabriel Spectrum of Persistence Categories

We determine the Gabriel spectrum of a category of sheaves of vector spaces in purely topological terms. For every topological space $X$, we prove that the Gabriel spectrum of ${\mathbf{Sh}}(X)$ is homeomorphic to ${\mathrm{Sk}}({\mathrm{Sob}}(X))$, where ${\mathrm{Sob}}(X)$ denotes the sobrification of $X$ and ${\mathrm{Sk}}$ indicates passage to the Skula topology. The proof is based on a classification of indecomposable injective sheaves and a characterization of localizing subcategories in terms of Skula-open subsets. We show that the Gabriel spectrum is always Hausdorff, zero-dimensional, and totally disconnected, and that it is compact if and only if $X$ is Noetherian. This leads to computations of Gabriel spectra arising in persistence theory. In particular, the Gabriel spectrum of the category of persistence modules over ${\mathbb R}^n$ is homeomorphic to the space of ideals of ${\mathbb R}^n$ with a natural topology.
