Intrinsic homological algebra for triangulated categories

Abstract

We propose a new framework for the study of homological properties for (compactly generated) triangulated categories such as regularity, finiteness of global or finitistic dimension, gorensteinness or injective generation and the relation between them. Our approach focuses on distinguished, intrinsically defined, subcategories and our main tool is the new notion of far-away orthogonality. We observe that these homological properties generalise previously studied properties on derived categories of modules over rings, and we use the generality of our theory to also examine those same attributes for the homotopy category of injectives and the big singularity category (in the sense of Krause) of an Artin algebra, as well as the derived category of a non-positive differential graded algebra. Finally, using our theory we recover and generalise various results in the theory of recollements of triangulated categories.

On singular supports of Lusztig's perverse sheaves

We prove a conjecture of Lusztig on a microlocal characterization of his perverse sheaves. For any finite quiver without loops, an equivariant simple perverse sheaf on the variety of quiver representations is a Lusztig's perverse sheaf if and only if its singular support is contained in Lusztig's Lagrangian variety, that is, the variety of nilpotent representations of the preprojective algebra of the quiver.

Skein algebras and quantized Coulomb branches

To a compact oriented surface of genus at most one with boundary, we associate a quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima. In the case where the surface is a three- or four-holed sphere or a one-holed torus, we describe a relationship between this quantized Coulomb branch and the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the surface. We formulate a general conjecture relating these algebras.

Quiver presentations for band algebras are defined over the integers

A band is a semigroup in which each element is idempotent. In recent years, there has been a lot of activity on the representation theory of the subclass of left regular bands due to connections to Markov chains associated to hyperplane arrangements, oriented matroids, matroids and CAT(0) cube complexes. We prove here that the integral semigroup algebra of a band is isomorphic to the integral path algebra of a quiver modulo an admissible ideal. This leads to a uniform bound quiver presentation for band algebras over all fields. Also, we answer a question of Margolis, Saliola and Steinberg by proving that the integral semigroup algebra of a CW left regular band is isomorphic to the quotient of the integral path algebra of the Hasse diagram of its support semilattice modulo the ideal generated by the sum of all paths of length two. This includes, for example, hyperplane face semigroup algebras.
