A functorial approach to rank functions on triangulated categories

We study rank functions on a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ via its abelianisation $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. We prove that every rank function on $\mathcal{C}$ can be interpreted as an additive function on $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. As a consequence, every integral rank function has a unique decomposition into irreducible ones. Furthermore, we relate integral rank functions to a number of important concepts in the functor category $\operatorname{Mod}\mathcal{C}$. We study the connection between rank functions and functors from $\mathcal{C}$ to locally finite triangulated categories, generalising results by Chuang and Lazarev. In the special case $\mathcal{C}=\mathcal{T}^c$ for a compactly generated triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$, this connection becomes particularly nice, providing a link between rank functions on $\mathcal{C}$ and smashing localisations of $\mathcal{T}$. In this context, any integral rank function can be described using the composition length with respect to certain endofinite objects in $\mathcal{T}$. Finally, if $\mathcal{C}=\operatorname{per}(A)$ for a differential graded algebra $A$, we classify homological epimorphisms $A\to B$ with $\operatorname{per}(B)$ locally finite via special rank functions which we call idempotent.

Lifting and restricting t-structures

We explore the interplay between t-structures in the bounded derived category of finitely presented modules and the unbounded derived category of all modules over a coherent ring $A$ using homotopy colimits. More precisely, we show that every intermediate t-structure in $D^b(\operatorname{mod}(A))$ can be lifted to a compactly generated t-structure in $D(\operatorname{Mod}(A))$, by closing the aisle and the coaisle of the t-structure under directed homotopy colimits. Conversely, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a compactly generated t-structure in $D(\operatorname{Mod}(A))$ to restrict to an intermediate t-structure in $D^b(\operatorname{mod}(A))$, thus describing which t-structures can be obtained via lifting. We apply our results to the special case of HRS-t-structures. Finally, we discuss various applications to silting theory in the context of finite dimensional algebras.

Partial silting objects and smashing subcategories

We study smashing subcategories of a triangulated category with coproducts via silting theory. Our main result states that for derived categories of dg modules over a non-positive differential graded ring, every compactly generated localising subcategory is generated by a partial silting object. In particular, every such smashing subcategory admits a silting t-structure.

Flat ring epimorphisms and universal localisations of commutative rings

We study different types of localisations of a commutative noetherian ring. More precisely, we provide criteria to decide: (a) if a given flat ring epimorphism is a universal localisation in the sense of Cohn and Schofield; and (b) when such universal localisations are classical rings of fractions. In order to find such criteria, we use the theory of support and we analyse the specialisation closed subset associated to a flat ring epimorphism. In case the underlying ring is locally factorial or of Krull dimension one, we show that all flat ring epimorphisms are universal localisations. Moreover, it turns out that an answer to the question of when universal localisations are classical depends on the structure of the Picard group. We furthermore discuss the case of normal rings, for which the divisor class group plays an essential role to decide if a given flat ring epimorphism is a universal localisation. Finally, we explore several (counter)examples which highlight the necessity of our assumptions.

A characterisation of $τ$-tilting finite algebras

We prove that a finite dimensional algebra is $τ$-tilting finite if and only if it does not admit large silting modules. Moreover, we show that for a $τ$-tilting finite algebra $A$ there is a bijection between isomorphism classes of basic support $τ$-tilting (that is, finite dimensional silting) modules and equivalence classes of ring epimorphisms $A\longrightarrow B$ with ${\rm Tor}_1^A(B,B)=0$. It follows that a finite dimensional algebra is $τ$-tilting finite if and only if there are only finitely many equivalence classes of such ring epimorphisms.

Silting and cosilting classes in derived categories

An important result in tilting theory states that a class of modules over a ring is a tilting class if and only if it is the Ext-orthogonal class to a set of compact modules of bounded projective dimension. Moreover, cotilting classes are precisely the resolving and definable subcategories of the module category whose Ext-orthogonal class has bounded injective dimension. In this article, we prove a derived counterpart of the statements above in the context of silting theory. Silting and cosilting complexes in the derived category of a ring generalise tilting and cotilting modules. They give rise to subcategories of the derived category, called silting and cosilting classes, which are part of both a t-structure and a co-t-structure. We characterise these subcategories: silting classes are precisely those which are intermediate and Ext-orthogonal classes to a set of compact objects, and cosilting classes are precisely the cosuspended, definable and co-intermediate subcategories of the derived category.

Torsion pairs in silting theory

In the setting of compactly generated triangulated categories, we show that the heart of a (co)silting t-structure is a Grothendieck category if and only if the (co)silting object satisfies a purity assumption. Moreover, in the cosilting case the previous conditions are related to the coaisle of the t-structure being a definable subcategory. If we further assume our triangulated category to be algebraic, it follows that the heart of any nondegenerate compactly generated t-structure is a Grothendieck category.

Universal localisations via silting

We show that silting modules are closely related with localisations of rings. More precisely, every partial silting module gives rise to a localisation at a set of maps between countably generated projective modules and, conversely, every universal localisation, in the sense of Cohn and Schofield, arises in this way. To establish these results, we further explore the finite-type classification of tilting classes and we use the morphism category to translate silting modules into tilting objects. In particular, we prove that silting modules are of finite type.

Torsion classes, wide subcategories and localisations

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$, we establish correspondences between torsion classes and wide subcategories in $mod(A)$. In case $A$ is representation finite, we obtain an explicit bijection between these two classes of subcategories. Moreover, we translate our results to the language of ring epimorphisms and universal localisations. It turns out that universal localisations over representation finite algebras are classified by torsion classes and support $τ$-tilting modules.

Homological embeddings for preprojective algebras

For a fixed finite dimensional algebra $A$, we study representation embeddings of the form $mod(B)\rightarrow mod(A)$. Such an embedding is called homological, if it induces an isomorphism on all Ext-groups and weakly homological, if only Ext$^1$ is preserved. In case $A$ is a preprojective algebra of Dynkin type, we give an explicit classification of all weakly homological and homological embeddings. Furthermore, we show that for self-injective algebras a classification of homological embeddings becomes accessible once these algebras fulfil the Tachikawa conjecture.

Silting modules and ring epimorphisms

There are well-known constructions relating ring epimorphisms and tilting modules. The new notion of silting module provides a wider framework for studying this interplay. To every partial silting module we associate a ring epimorphism which we describe explicitly as an idempotent quotient of the endomorphism ring of the Bongartz completion. For hereditary rings, this assignment is used to parametrise homological ring epimorphisms by silting modules. We further show that homological ring epimorphisms of a hereditary ring form a lattice which completes the poset of noncrossing partitions in the case of finite dimensional algebras.

Silting modules

We introduce the new concept of silting modules. These modules generalise tilting modules over an arbitrary ring, as well as support $τ$-tilting modules over a finite dimensional algebra recently introduced by Adachi, Iyama and Reiten. We show that silting modules generate torsion classes that provide left approximations, and that every partial silting module admits an analogue of the Bongartz complement. Furthermore, we prove that silting modules are in bijection with 2-term silting complexes and with certain t-structures and co-t-structures in the derived module category. We also see how some of these bijections hold for silting complexes of arbitrary finite length.

Universal localisations and tilting modules for finite dimensional algebras

We study universal localisations, in the sense of Cohn and Schofield, for finite dimensional algebras and classify them by certain subcategories of our initial module category. A complete classification is presented in the hereditary case as well as for Nakayama algebras and local algebras. Furthermore, for hereditary algebras, we establish a correspondence between finite dimensional universal localisations and finitely generated support tilting modules. In the Nakayama case, we get a similar result using $τ$-tilting modules, which were recently introduced by Adachi, Iyama and Reiten.

From ring epimorphisms to universal localisations

For a fixed ring, different classes of ring epimorphisms and localisation maps are compared. In fact, we provide sufficient conditions for a ring epimorphism to be a universal localisation. Furthermore, we consider recollements induced by some homological ring epimorphisms and investigate whether they yield recollements of derived module categories.
