Categorical resolution of singularities has been constructed in arXiv:1212.6170. It proceeds by alternating two steps of seemingly different nature. We show how to use the formalism of filtered derived categories to combine the two steps into one. This results in a certain rather natural categorical refinement of the usual blowup of an algebraic variety in a closed subscheme.
We give a concise overview of arxiv:0812.2519 and arxiv:1412.3248. The paper contains all the main results and constructions but no proofs.
For an additive Waldhausen category linear over a ring $k$, the corresponding $K$-theory spectrum is a module spectrum over the $K$-theory spectrum of $k$. Thus if $k$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$, then after localization at $p$, we obtain an Eilenberg-Maclane spectrum -- in other words, a chain complex. We propose an elementary and direct construction of this chain complex that behaves well in families and uses only method of homological algebra (in particular, the notions of a ring spectrum and a module spectrum are not used).
For a spectrum $X$ represented by a special $Γ$-space $Y$ via the Segal machine, we give an elementary formula computing the homology groups of $X$ in terms of $Y$. Both the result and the method of proof are essentially due to T. Pirashvili, but the end result does not appear explicitly in his papers.
We propose a non-commutative generalization of Beilinson's Conjecture on the regulator map from algebraic K-theory to Deligne cohomology of algebraic varieties over Q. We also check a baby case of the generalized conjecture, namely, the case of finite-dimensional associative algebras.
Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional symplectic vector space over a field of characteristic 0, and let $G \subset Sp(V)$ be a finite subgroup. We prove that for any crepant resolution $X \to V/G$, the bounded derived category $D^b(Coh(X))$ of coherent sheaves on $X$ is equivalent to the bounded derived category $D^b_G(Coh(V))$ of $G$-equivariant coherent sheaves on $V$.
For a finite group $G$, the so-called $G$-Mackey functors form an abelian category $M(G)$ that has many applications in the study of $G$-equivariant stable homotopy. One would expect that the derived category $D(M(G))$ would be similarly important as the "homological" counterpart of the $G$-equivariant stable homotopy category. It turns out that this is not so -- $D(M(G))$ is pathological in many respects. We propose and study a replacement for $D(M(G))$, a certain triangulated category $DM(G)$ of "derived Mackey functors" that contains $M(G)$ but is different from $D(M(G))$. We show that standard features of the $G$-equivariant stable homotopy category such as the fixed points functors of two types have exact analogs for the category $DM(G)$.
We review some recent results and conjectures saying that, roughly speaking, periodic cyclic homology of a smooth non-commutative algebraic variety should carry all the additional "motivic" structures possessed by the usual de Rham cohomology of a smooth algebraic variety (specifically, an R-Hodge structure for varieties over R, and a filtered Dieudonne module structure for varieties over Z_p). To appear in Proc. ICM 2010.
We construct a triangulated category of cyclotomic complexes, a homological counterpart of cyclotomic spectra of Bokstedt and Madsen. We also construct a version of the Topological Cyclic Homology functor TC for cyclotomic complexes, and an equivariant homology functor from cycloctomic spectra to cyclotomic complexes which commutes with TC. Then on the other hand, we prove that the category of cyclotomic complexes is essentially a twisted 2-periodic derived category of the category of filtered Dieudonne modules of Fontaine and Lafaille. We also show that under some mild conditions, the functor TC on cyclotomic complexes is the syntomic cohomology functor.
This is an overview of math.AG/0310186, math.AG/0309290, math.AG/0501247, math.AG/0401002 and math.AG/0504584 written for the Proceedings of the AMS Meeting on Algebraic Geometry, Seattle, 2005.
These are lecture notes from Clay Summer School in Goettingen, in 2006; the lectures were an attempt at an elementary introduction to math.KT/0611623.
We use a version of the method of Deligne-Illusie to prove that the Hodge-to-de Rham, a.k.a. Hochschild-to-cyclic spectral sequence degenerates for a large class of associative, not necessariyl commutative DG algebras. This proves, under some assumption, a conjecture by Kontsevich and Soibelman made in math.RA/0606241. The approach is similar to my earlier paper math.AG/0511665, but the proof is more straightforward, and the underlying algebraic topology notions are explicitly described. The paper is independent of math.AG/0511665 and in a sense, supercedes it.
We study the problem of deformation quantization for (algebraic) symplectic manifolds over a base field of positive characteristic. We prove a reasonably complete classification theorem for one class of such quantizations; in the course of doing it, we also introduce a notion of a restricted Poisson algebra -- the Poisson analog of the standard notion of a restrictted Lie algebra -- and we prove a version of Darboux Theorem valid in positive characteristic setting.
We prove some results on formality for families of DG algebras; in particular, we prove that formality is stable under specialization. The results are more-or-less known, but it seems that there are no published proofs.
We propose a category which can serve as the category of coefficients for the cyclic homology HC_*(A) of an associative algebra A over a field k. The construction is categorical in nature, and essentially uses only the tensor category A-bimod of A-bimodules; objects of our category are A-bimodules with an additional structure. We also generalize the construction to a more general tensor k-linear tensor category C instead of A-bimod. We add some remarks about Getzler's version of the Gauss-Manin connection for the periodic cyclic homology HP_*(A).
We study the local structure of the singularity in the moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface which has been resolved by K O'Grady in his construction of new examples of hyperkaehler manifolds. In particular, we identify the singularity with the closure of a certain nilpotent orbit in the coadjoint representation of the group $Sp(4)$. We also prove that the moduli spaces for some other sets of numerical parameters do not admit a smooth symplectic resolution of singularities.
Gabber's Theorem claims that the singular support of a D-module is involutive. We show how to give a conceptually clear proof of this in the context of Hochschild Homology and Cohomology of abelian categories.
We assume given a smooth symplectic (in the algebraic sense) resolution $X$ of an affine algebraic variety $Y$, and we prove that, possibly after replacing $Y$ with an etale neighborhood of a point, the derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$ is equivalent to the dervied category of finitely generated left modules over a non-commutative algebra $R$, a non-commutative resolution of $Y$ in a sense close to that of M. Van den Bergh. We also prove some applications, such as: two resolutions are derived-equivalent; every resolution $X$ admits a "resolution of the diagonal"; the cohomology groups of the fibers of the map $X \to Y$ are spanned by fundamental classes of algebraic cycles.
