Title: LOCAL DUALITY FOR THE SINGULARITY CATEGORY OF A FINITE DIMENSIONAL GORENSTEIN ALGEBRA
A duality theorem for the singularity category of a finite dimensional Gorenstein algebra is proved. It complements a duality on the category of perfect complexes, discovered by Happel. One of its consequences is an analogue of Serre duality, and the existence of Auslander–Reiten triangles for the $$\mathfrak{p}$$ -local and $$\mathfrak{p}$$ -torsion subcategories of the derived category, for each homogeneous prime ideal $$\mathfrak{p}$$ arising from the action of a commutative ring via Hochschild cohomology.  more » « less

  1. A duality theorem for the stable module category of representations of a finite group scheme is proved. One of its consequences is an analogue of Serre duality, and the existence of Auslander–Reiten triangles for the $$\mathfrak{p}$$ -local and $$\mathfrak{p}$$ -torsion subcategories of the stable category, for each homogeneous prime ideal $$\mathfrak{p}$$ in the cohomology ring of the group scheme.

  2. Abstract The Witt algebra  $${\mathfrak{W}}_{n}$$ is the Lie algebra of all derivations of the $$n$$-variable polynomial ring $$\textbf{V}_{n}=\textbf{C}[x_{1}, \ldots , x_{n}]$$ (or of algebraic vector fields on $$\textbf{A}^{n}$$). A representation of $${\mathfrak{W}}_{n}$$ is polynomial if it arises as a subquotient of a sum of tensor powers of $$\textbf{V}_{n}$$. Our main theorems assert that finitely generated polynomial representations of $${\mathfrak{W}}_{n}$$ are noetherian and have rational Hilbert series. A key intermediate result states polynomial representations of the infinite Witt algebra are equivalent to representations of $$\textbf{Fin}^{\textrm{op}}$$, where $$\textbf{Fin}$$ is the category of finite sets. We also show that polynomial representations of $${\mathfrak{W}}_{n}$$ are equivalent to polynomial representations of the endomorphism monoid of $$\textbf{A}^{n}$$. These equivalences are a special case of an operadic version of Schur–Weyl duality, which we establish.

  3. This paper is the first of a pair that aims to classify a large number of the type I I II quantum subgroups of the categories C ( s l r + 1 , k ) \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{r+1}, k) . In this work we classify the braided auto-equivalences of the categories of local modules for all known type I I quantum subgroups of C ( s l r + 1 , k ) \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{r+1}, k) . We find that the symmetries are all non-exceptional except for four cases (up to level-rank duality). These exceptional cases are the orbifolds C ( s l 2 , 16 ) Rep ⁡ ( Z 2 ) 0 \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{2}, 16)^0_{\operatorname {Rep}(\mathbb {Z}_{2})} , C ( s l 3 , 9 ) Rep ⁡ ( Z 3 ) 0 \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{3}, 9)^0_{\operatorname {Rep}(\mathbb {Z}_{3})} , C ( s l 4 , 8 ) Rep ⁡ ( Z 4 ) 0 \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{4}, 8)^0_{\operatorname {Rep}(\mathbb {Z}_{4})} , and C ( s l 5 , 5 ) Rep ⁡ ( Z 5 ) 0 \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{5}, 5)^0_{\operatorname {Rep}(\mathbb {Z}_{5})} . We develop several technical tools in this work. We give a skein theoretic description of the orbifold quantum subgroups of C ( s l r + 1 , k ) \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{r+1}, k) . Our methods here are general, and the techniques developed will generalise to give skein theory for any orbifold of a braided tensor category. We also give a formulation of orthogonal level-rank duality in the type D D - D D case, which is used to construct one of the exceptionals. We uncover an unexpected connection between quadratic categories and exceptional braided auto-equivalences of the orbifolds. We use this connection to construct two of the four exceptionals. In the sequel to this paper we will use the classified braided auto-equivalences to construct the corresponding type I I II quantum subgroups of the categories C ( s l r + 1 , k ) \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{r+1}, k) . This will essentially finish the type I I II classification for s l n \mathfrak {sl}_n modulo type I I classification. When paired with Gannon’s type I I classification for r ≤ 6 r\leq 6 , our results will complete the type I I II classification for these same ranks. This paper includes an appendix by Terry Gannon, which provides useful results on the dimensions of objects in the categories C ( s l r + 1 , k ) \mathcal {C}(\mathfrak {sl}_{r+1}, k) .

  4. A Noetherian local ring ( R , m ) (R,\frak {m}) is called Buchsbaum if the difference ℓ ( R / q ) − e ( q , R ) \ell (R/\mathfrak {q})-e(\mathfrak {q}, R) , where q \mathfrak {q} is an ideal generated by a system of parameters, is a constant independent of q \mathfrak {q} . In this article, we study the tight closure analog of this condition. We prove that in an unmixed excellent local ring ( R , m ) (R,\frak {m}) of prime characteristic p > 0 p>0 and dimension at least one, the difference e ( q , R ) − ℓ ( R / q ∗ ) e(\mathfrak {q}, R)-\ell (R/\mathfrak {q}^*) is independent of q \mathfrak {q} if and only if the parameter test ideal τ p a r ( R ) \tau _{\mathrm {par}}(R) contains m \frak {m} . We also provide a characterization of this condition via derived category which is analogous to Schenzel’s criterion for Buchsbaum rings.

  5. Duality properties are studied for a Gorenstein algebra that is finite and projective over its center. Using the homotopy category of injective modules, it is proved that there is a local duality theorem for the subcategory of acyclic complexes of such an algebra, akin to the local duality theorems of Grothendieck and Serre in the context of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. A key ingredient is the Nakayama functor on the bounded derived category of a Gorenstein algebra and its extension to the full homotopy category of injective modules.
