Abstract

We study oplax colimits of stable categories, of hermitian categories and of Poincaré categories in nice cases. This allows us to produce a categorical model of the assembly map of a bordism-invariant functor of Poincaré categories which is also a Verdier projection, whose kernel we explicitly describe. As a direct application, we generalize the Shaneson splitting for bordism-invariant functors of Poincaré categories proved by Calmès-Dotto-Harpaz-Hebestreit-Land-Moi-Nardin-Nikolaus-Steimle to allow for twists. We also show our methods can tackle their general twisted Shaneson splitting of Poincaré-Verdier localizing invariants which specifies to a twisted Bass-Heller-Swan decomposition for the underlying stable categories, generalizing part of recent work of Kirstein-Kremer.

p-curvature in non-commutative Hodge theory and the Kontsevich-Soibelman operad

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a differential $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded category over $\mathbb{C}$. Its periodic cyclic homology $HH^{per}_*(\mathcal{C})$, when viewed as a vector bundle over the formal punctured disk, is equipped with a canonical connection $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$ called the Getzler-Gauss-Manin connection in the $t$-direction (or the categorical $t$-connection). Our main result is that when $\mathcal{C}$ is smooth and proper, this connection has a regular singularity at $t=0$ and quasi-unipotent monodromy, affirming a conjecture of Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev \cite{KKP}. Our proof follows a reduction mod $p$ argument using a spreading out technique of Toën \cite{To} and a regularity criterion of Katz \cite{Ka1}. The main novelty is the proof of a multiplicative property of the $p$-curvature of $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$ through an interpretation in terms of the two-colored Kontsevich-Soibelman operad. We then explore two applications of the main result. First, we give an explicit description (under additional assumptions) of the non-commutative Hodge filtration on the periodic cyclic homology of a smooth proper d$(\mathbb{Z}/2)$g category, following a construction of Shklyarov \cite{Shk}. The second application, which is special to our particular method or proof, is an upper bound on the sizes of Jordan blocks of the monodromy of $\nabla^{\mathcal{C}}_{\partial_t}$, which simultaneously generalizes Scherk's local monodromy theorem for isolated hypersurface singularities \cite{Sche} and (partially) a recent result of Pomerleano-Seidel on the quantum connection of a closed monotone symplectic manifold \cite{PS2}. As a specialization, we show that the sizes of these Jordan blocks are bounded above by the diagonal dimension of $\mathcal{C}$ plus one.

General linear and Steinberg groups over the Leavitt algebra $L_{\mathbb F_2}(1,2)$

Let $R=L_{\F_2}(1,2)$. We prove that $\GL_r(R)$ is integrally acyclic for every $r\geq1$ and that the canonical map $\St_r(R)\to\GL_r(R)$ is an isomorphism for every $r\geq3$. The unit group $R^\times$ is finitely presented, and we describe an explicit finite presentation. The homology calculation uses leaf coordinates, simultaneous extensions of ordered frames, and finite-field actions on stabilizers. The Steinberg argument lifts relations from a simply connected frame complex and refines coordinates. We also state separate criteria for the two arguments over rings of characteristic two.
