arXiv:1205.6058 Homotopy unital Ainfinity-algebras fra arXiv Front: math.AT av Volodymyr Lyubashenko It is well known that the differential graded operad of Ainfinity-algebras is a cofibrant replacement (a dg-resolution) of the operad of associative differential graded algebras without units. In this article we find a cofibrant replacement of the operad of associative differential graded algebras with units. Algebras over it are called homotopy unital Ainfinity-algebras. We prove that the operad bimodule of Ainfinity-morphisms is a cofibrant replacement of the operad bimodule of morphisms of dg-algebras without units. Similarly we show that the operad bimodule of homotopy unital A_infinity-morphisms is a cofibrant replacement of the operad bimodule of morphisms of dg-algebras with units.

Rumour, summer 2012 - has the abc conjecture been proven by Mochizuki???
See this review of a Soulé article and the (paper) references it contains for stuff on the Arakelov theory approach to the abc conj via the Bogomolov inequality, and possible solution to the problem of absent absolute differentials. I have the article itself. The notion of successive minima might also be relevant - he mentioned some unpublished preprint with errors from the 90s or so.

Grothendieck's Tohoku paper
An abelian category is an additive category in which every map:
- admits a kernel and a cokernel (Ab1)
- is strict (Ab2)
Recall that a kernel of a morphism
is the fiber product
. Also recall that a morphism is strict if the natural map from its coimage to its image is an isomorphism.Some properties of abelian cats:
- mono + epi implies iso
- finite limits and colimits exist
- any functor category from a small to an abelian category is abelian
- the opposite of an abelian category is abelian
An abelian category is called semisimple if all short exact sequences split.
A full subcategory of an abelian category is called
- thick if it is closed under kernels, cokernels and extensions.
- generating if "its objects can surject to anything"
- cogenerating if "its objects can "eat" anything", i.e. can receive an injection from any object.
Recall that Hom is left exact in both variables. An object is said to be injective if it is exact as a contravariant functor. An abelian category has enough injectives if the injectives are cogenerating. An object is projective if it is exact as a covariant functor. Enough projectives means that the projectives are generating.
Properties of injective objects: "Any morphism from a subobject to I can be extended to the whole object". (Probably enough for generators). Three facts about short exact sequences: In any short exact sequence, if A, B inj, then C inj. Also, if A inj, then the sequence splits. In a split short exact sequence, B is inj iff A & C are inj.
Freyd-Mitchell thm: Let C be a small abelian category. Then there exists a ring R and an exact fully faithful functor from C to R-mod. (See Kashiwara-Schapira chapter 9)
Some further "axioms" on abelian cats that are sometimes useful to consider (these are not satisfied for all abelian cats):
- All direct sums exist (Ab3)
- (assuming Ab3) "A compatible family of morphisms on an increasingly filtered family of subobjects induce a unique morphism on the sum subobject". (Ab5)
- Also Ab4. See Tohoku
Thm: Let
be abelian, satisfying Ab3. Then direct limits exist in
, and the functor
is additive and right exact. (What is the significance of this result??)
A category is said to be
-linear if the Hom sets are
-modules, composition is
-linear, and if the category admits finite sums. A functor which respects the
-module structure will also respect direct sums, up to a natural isomorphism.<]]>- Abelian varietyWrite comment View comments

See Kashiwara-Schapira.
Hovey suggests the following problem (page 199 of his book). Define "pre-triangulated category with sequential colimits". Show: Every triangulated category gives rise to such a thing. The homotopy category of a model category is such a thing. Define a cohomology functor on such a thing, and prove that all cohomology functors on the homotopy category of a pointed cofibrantly generated model category are representable.
Rosicky: Generalized Brown Representability in homotopy categories (online at TAC), with an erratum here
Raventos and Muro has some project on representability for functors a priori defined only on compact objects, I believe. This could be of interest for example in the case of CTs defined on geometric objects but not a priori on all generalised spaces.

<]]>- Additive categoryWrite comment View comments
A category is additive if it satisfies four conditions, including existence of zero object, finite products and coproducts, and "coprod IMic to prod". One proves that a category is additive iff Hom sets are abelian groups, composition is bilinear, and it admits finite products.

arXiv:0909.1568 Igusa integrals and volume asymptotics in analytic and adelic geometry from arXiv Front: math.NT by Antoine Chambert-Loir, Yuri Tschinkel We establish asymptotic formulae for volumes of height balls in analytic varieties over local fields and in adelic points of algebraic varieties over number fields, relating the Mellin transforms of height functions to Igusa integrals and to global geometric invariants of the underlying variety. In the adelic setting, this involves the construction of general Tamagawa measures.

We develope harmonic analysis in some categories of filtered abelian groups and vector spaces over the fields R or C. These categories contain as objects local fields and adelic spaces arising from arithmetical surfaces. Some structure theorems are proven for quotients of the adelic groups of algebraic and arithmetical surfaces.

- Algebra over a monoidal categoryWrite comment View comments
Let
be a Monoidal category. A
-algebra structure on a category
is a monoidal structure on
together with a monoidal functor
. A
-algebra functor is a monoidal functor "commuting with
up to natural isomorphism". The
-algebras form a 2-category, and there is a forgetful 2-functor to
-modules.Example: Let
be
-mod (
a commutative ring), and consider a map of
-algs,
. Get a
-algebra functor from
to
by tensoring with
over the base ring
.If
is symmetric monoidal, then a symmetric
-algebra structure on a category
is a symmetric monoidal structure on
together with a symmetric monoidal functor
. A symmetric
-algebra functor is a symmetric monoidal functor that is also a
-algebra functor. We can also define a central
-algebra structure.Example: The category of modules over a commutative Hopf algebra (over a field) is a central algebra over the category of vector spaces. It is symmetric iff the Hopf algebra is cocommutative.

arXiv:1109.1598 Algebraic theories, span diagrams and commutative monoids in homotopy theory from arXiv Front: math.CT by James Cranch We adapt the notion of an algebraic theory to work in the setting of quasicategories developed recently by Joyal and Lurie. We develop the general theory at some length.
We study one extended example in detail: the theory of commutative monoids (which turns out to be essentially just a 2-category). This gives a straightforward, combinatorially explicit, and instructive notion of a commutative monoid. We prove that this definition is equivalent (in appropriate senses) both to the classical concept of an E-infinity monoid and to Lurie's concept of a commutative algebra object.<]]>- Algebraic curveWrite comment View comments

An improved version of the alteration thm comes from Gabber's work on purity, see maybe study group notes of Riou or maybe Illusie. Or ask Riou. It was something along the following lines: Take any quite general scheme, and a prime l. Then there exist an alteration of degree prime to l (this is not exactly right, so check proper ref).

I think the anodyne extensions include the maps

Possibly these suffice for certain "testing".Another formulation: A class of simplicial set monomorphisms is called saturated if contains all IMs, is closed under pushouts, retracts, countable compositions and arbitrary disjoint unions. An anodyne extension is a member of the smallest saturated class which contains the standard inclusions of horns.
Kan fibrations have the RLP wrt all standard inclusions of horns, and hence wrt all anodyne extensions.

arXiv:1102.2063 Hermitian structures on the derived category of coherent sheaves from arXiv Front: math.AG by José Ignacio Burgos Gil, Gerard Freixas i Montplet, Razvan Litcanu The main objective of the present paper is to set up the theoretical basis and the language needed to deal with the problem of direct images of hermitian vector bundles for projective non-necessarily smooth morphisms. To this end, we first define hermitian structures on the objects of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth complex variety. Secondly we extend the theory of Bott-Chern classes to these hermitian structures. Finally we introduce the category $\oSm_{\ast/\CC}$ whose morphisms are projective morphisms with a hermitian structure on the relative tangent complex.
