Abstract

In this article, we introduce a new rewriting method for computing hom-bases of diagrammatic categories. Our approach is based on stratified presentations, obtained by partitioning an equational presentation into strata according to the rewriting behavior of its relations. We establish modularity principles for termination and confluence in stratified rewriting systems with coefficients in a ring. We then introduce a completion procedure that transforms a stratified presentation into a normalized one, in which mixed interactions between successive strata are absorbed into the normalized rewriting rules, thereby inducing modularity of confluence. This leads to a stratified hom-basis theorem for diagrammatic categories. We illustrate the method by applying it to the $q$-Schur category, for which we construct a new hom-basis.

Universal Semisimple Reconstruction and Obstruction Theory

We develop a semisimple obstruction theory for finite-length abelian categories. To each object \(X\) we associate a canonical obstruction subobject \(\mathcal O(X)\), consisting of the part invisible to all morphisms into semisimple objects. The quotient \(X/\mathcal O(X)\) is semisimple and universal among such morphisms, yielding a canonical semisimplification reflector and characterizing semisimplicity by the vanishing of obstruction. Iterating the construction gives an obstruction filtration which, in finite-length module categories, recovers the classical radical filtration and Loewy theory. Obstruction is also heart-dependent: under Happel--Reiten--Smalø tilting, extension data can appear as new obstruction layers, leading to obstruction shadows and visible torsion. Thus classical radical theory arises as the fixed-heart module-theoretic instance of a categorical framework for semisimple reconstruction, persistence, and variation of heart.

Tensor triangular geometry of band algebras

In this paper, we study the tensor triangular geometry of band algebras $RB$, where $B$ is a finite left regular band and $R$ is a commutative Noetherian ring. We show that the Balmer spectrum of $\Perf(RB)$ is homeomorphic to $\Spec R\times L_B$, where $L_B$ is the support lattice of $B$. We also show that there is a bijection between the localizing ideals of $D(RB)$ and the stable subsets of $\Spec R\times L_B$. As a consequence, the telescope conjecture holds for $D(RB)$. Finally, we construct a band $B$ such that the generalized Nerves of Steel Conjecture fails for the non-rigid tensor triangulated category $\Perf(RB)$.

Fiber product of condensable algebras and critical points of boundary phase transitions

In this work, we propose a mathematical description of the critical point of boundary phase transitions in 2+1D topological orders. Given two boundary phases, $\mathcal{C}_A$ and $\mathcal{C}_B$, with corresponding Lagrangian algebras $A$ and $B$ in a 2+1D topological order $\mathcal{C}$, respectively, we propose that the critical point of the phase transition between these two phases, if it exists, corresponds to $D = A \times_{M} B$, which is the fiber product of $A$ and $B$ over $A$-$B$-algebra $M$. We prove that $D$ is also a condensable algebra. Additionally, we present an alternative classification of condensable algebras in $Z(Vec_G^ω)$ and reveal splitting phenomenon that arises during the condensation of certain algebras. We also perform explicit computations for the condensable algebras within several examples of $Z(Vec_G^ω)$, covering both Abelian and non-Abelian groups $G$.
