Abstract

There is an isomorphism between the frame of radical thick tensor ideals of an essentially small tt-category and the frame of open sets of the Hochster dual of its Balmer spectrum. This isomorphism allows us to compare topological properties of the latter with tt-geometric properties of the former. We use this to give an intrinsic definition of those tt-categories which satisfy a variant of the second De Morgan law, and furthermore give a construction for producing such tt-categories.

Mixing Extriangulated Model Structures

Let $(\mathscr{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ be a weakly idempotent complete extriangulated category. We generalize Cole's Theorem to construct a mixed admissible model structure $\mathcal{M}_m$ from two compatible admissible model structures relative to proper classes $ξ_1\subseteqξ_2$ of $\mathscr{C}$. We then explicitly characterize the cofibrant objects of $\mathcal{M}_m$. Finally, we apply these results to exact and triangulated categories, recovering and extending recent work on mixed model structures.

Characterizing (Co)Free Dagger Categories

For any category, there exists both a free dagger category and a cofree dagger category over it. A natural question to ask is: given a dagger category, how can we tell if it is free or cofree without specifying an external base category? In this paper, we provide characterizations of both free dagger categories and cofree dagger categories via internal dagger category structure. To characterize cofree dagger categories, we use rectangular bands and show that a dagger category is cofree if and only if it is enriched over rectangular bands. For free dagger categories, we define the notion of a zigzag dagger category, and then show that a dagger category is free if and only if it is a zigzag dagger category. We also show that free dagger categories can be characterized as the coalgebras of the induced comonad from the free dagger category adjunction, and similarly that cofree free dagger categories can be characterized as the algebras of the induced monad from the cofree dagger category adjunction.

A Counterexample to the Open Question on Object Ideals

We give a counterexample to completeness descent from ideal cotorsion pairs to their objects. A radical-square-zero algebra on the two-cycle gives a finite-dimensional example. The construction is intrinsically non-weakly-idempotent-complete.
