On the $\mathbb{Z} D_\infty$-category

This paper is mainly about an early result that the orbifold stack is globally representable via some $ \infty $-categorical techniques.

This introduction to higher category theory is intended to a give the reader an intuition for what $(\infty,1)$-categories are, when they are an appropriate tool, how they fit into the landscape of higher category, how concepts from ordinary category theory generalize to this new setting, and what uses people have put the theory to. It is a rough guide to a vast terrain, focuses on ideas and motivation, omits almost all proofs and technical details, and provides many referenc...

In this work, we establish a categorification of the classical Dold-Kan correspondence in the form of an equivalence between suitably defined $\infty$-categories of simplicial stable $\infty$-categories and connective chain complexes of stable $\infty$-categories. The result may be regarded as a contribution to the foundations of an emerging subject that could be termed categorified homological algebra.

We discuss the homological algebra of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras and finite groups. We present various methods for the construction and the study of equivalences of derived categories: local group theory, geometry and categorifications.

In this paper we classify noetherian hereditary abelian categories satisfying Serre duality in the sense of Bondal and Kapranov. As a consequence we obtain a classification of saturated noetherian hereditary categories. As a side result we show that when our hereditary categories have no nonzero projectives or injectives, then the Serre duality property is equivalent to the existence of almost split sequences.

A chain complex can be viewed as a representation of a certain quiver with relations, $Q^{\operatorname{cpx}}$. The vertices are the integers, there is an arrow $q \xrightarrow{} q-1$ for each integer $q$, and the relations are that consecutive arrows compose to $0$. Hence the classic derived category $\mathscr{D}$ can be viewed as a category of representations of $Q^{\operatorname{cpx}}$. It is an insight of Iyama and Minamoto that the reason $\mathscr{D}$ is well behaved ...

This note is a contribution written for the second volume of the Encyclopedia of mathematical physics. We give an informal introduction to the notions of an $(\infty,n)$-category and $(\infty,n)$-functor, discussing some of the different models that implement them. We also discuss the notions of a symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-category and symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-functor, recalling some important results whose statements employ the language of $(\infty,n)$-categorie...

The $A(\inft)$-algebra structure in homology of a DG-algebra is constructed. This structure is unique up to isomorphism of $A(\infty)$ algebras. Connection of this structure with Massey products is indicated. The notion of $A(\infty)$-module over an $A(\infty)$-algebra is introduced and such a structure is constructed in homology of a DG-modules over a DG-algebra. The theory of twisted tensor products is generalized from the case of DG-algebras to the case of $A(\infty)$-alge...

Let A be an abelian hereditary category with Serre duality. We provide a classification of such categories up to derived equivalence under the additional condition that the Grothendieck group modulo the radical of the Euler form is a free abelian group of finite rank. Such categories are called numerically finite, and this condition is satisfied by the category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.

This is the fourth (and last) prepublication version of a book on derived categories, that will be published by Cambridge University Press. The purpose of the book is to provide solid foundations for the theory of derived categories, and to present several applications of this theory in commutative and noncommutative algebra. The emphasis is on constructions and examples, rather than on axiomatics. Here are the topics covered in the book: - A review of standard facts on...
