Finitistic dimension via modules over the singularity category

Abstract

We combine results of Rickard and Shaul with methods of intrinsic homological algebra and the theory of purity to prove that the finiteness of the big finitistic dimension of an Artin algebra is an intrinsic property of the singularity category of its opposite algebra, via its category of modules. This `object-free' approach complements work of Dey--Šťovíček and arrives at the same conclusion: the finiteness of the finitistic dimension of Artin algebras is a singular invariant (of the opposite algebras). In fact, our characterisation can be used to prove that finite finitistic dimension descends along certain fully faithful functors between singularity categories.

Minuscule Relations in Quantum $K$-Theory of Flag Varieties

We study the quantum $K$-theory of the flag variety $G/B$. For each minuscule fundamental weight $\varpi$, we construct an explicit relation in the torus-equivariant quantum $K$-theory $QK_T(G/B)$. The relation can be regarded as a quantum deformation of the character of the irreducible representation with highest weight $\varpi$.

A Gelfand model for the Okada algebra

In this paper, we construct a Gelfand model for the Okada algebra $O_n(X,Y)$ with generic parameters $X$ and $Y$, on the space of symmetric Okada arc diagrams using a conjugation-type action. The model is constructed inductively by identifying the Okada algebra as a diagram algebra and using the Jones basic construction to obtain a tower of algebras that are themselves Okada algebras at lower levels. We use the model to obtain all the irreducible representations of $O_n(X,Y)$, indexed by the elements of rank $n$ of the Young--Fibonacci lattice, and identify them with the cell modules of $O_n(X,Y)$.

Categorical Lie-Rinehart modules and Shen-Larsson functors

We develop a categorical framework for Lie-Rinehart monoids and their weak modules in a symmetric monoidal category. Using crossed homomorphisms, we construct a natural action of the monoidal category of modules over a Lie monoid on the category of weak Lie-Rinehart modules, thereby obtaining categorical versions of the Shen-Larsson functors. We further characterize the conditions under which the category of weak modules admits a monoidal structure and identify the corresponding condition for the associated functors to be strict monoidal. A dual theory for Lie- Rinehart comonoids and weak comodules is developed using cocrossed homomorphisms. Combining the module and comodule constructions, we obtain a bimodule category structure on the category of weak modules. Finally, we specialize the general framework to the symmetric monoidal category of super vector spaces, recovering Lie-Rinehart superalgebras and their associated Shen-Larsson-type constructions.
