Homology of perfect complexes

It is proved that the sum of the Loewy lengths of the homology modules of a finite free complex F over a local ring R is bounded below by a number depending only on R. This result uncovers, in the structure of modules of finite projective dimension, obstructions to realizing R as a closed fiber of some flat local homomorphism. Other applications include, as special cases, uniform proofs of known results on free actions of elementary abelian groups and of tori on finite CW complexes. The arguments use numerical invariants of objects in general triangulated categories, introduced here and called levels. They allow one to track, through changes of triangulated categories, homological invariants like projective dimension, as well as structural invariants like Loewy length. An intermediate result sharpens, with a new proof, the New Intersection Theorem for commutative algebras over fields. Under additional hypotheses on the ring $R$ stronger estimates are proved for Loewy lengths of modules of finite projective dimension.

Global Hochschild (co-)homology of singular spaces

We introduce Hochschild (co-)homology of morphisms of schemes or analytic spaces and study its fundamental properties. In analogy with the cotangent complex we introduce the so called (derived) Hochschild complex of a morphism; the Hochschild cohomology and homology groups are then the Ext and Tor groups of that complex. We prove that these objects are well defined, extend the known cases, and have the expected functorial and homological properties such as graded commutativity of Hochschild cohomology and existence of the characteristic homomorphism from Hochschild cohomology to the (graded) centre of the derived category.

Power series rings and projectivity

We show that a formal power series ring $A[[X]]$ over a noetherian ring $A$ is not a projective module unless $A$ is artinian. However, if $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ is local, then $A[[X]]$ behaves like a projective module in the sense that $Ext^p_A(A[[X]], M)=0$ for all ${\mathfrak m}$-adically complete $A$-modules. The latter result is shown more generally for any flat $A$-module $B$ instead of $A[[X]]$. We apply the results to the (analytic) Hochschild cohomology over complete noetherian rings.

Finite Hochschild cohomology without finite global dimension

Dieter Happel asked the following question: If the $n$-th Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional algebra $Γ$ over a field vanishes for all sufficiently large $n$, is the global dimension of $Γ$ finite? We give a negative answer to this question.

Extensions of a Dualizing Complex by its Ring: Commutative Versions of a Conjecture of Tachikawa

Let $(R,\fm,k)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring with dualizing complex $\dua R$, normalized by $\Ext^{\depth(R)}_R(k,\dua R)\cong k$. Partly motivated by a long standing conjecture of Tachikawa on (not necessarily commutative) $k$-algebras of finite rank, we conjecture that if $\Ext^n_R(\dua R,R)=0$ for all $n>0$, then $R$ is Gorenstein, and prove this in several significant cases.

The Atiyah-Chern Character yields the Semiregularity Map as well as the Infinitesimal Abel-Jacobi Map

We construct a general semiregularity map for cycles on a complex analytic or algebraic manifold and show that such semiregularity map can be obtained from the classical tool of the Atiyah-Chern character. The first part of the paper is fairly detailed, deducing the existence and explicit form of a generalized semiregularity map from known results and constructions. We obtain as well a description of the infinitesimal Abel-Jacobi map for smooth cycles as the leading term of this generalized semiregularity map, indicate why for locally complete intersections the appropriate component of our semiregularity map coincides with the one constructed by Bloch, and give applications to embedded deformations and deformations of coherent modules.
