C-star algebra

http://nlab.mathforge.org/nlab/show/C-star+algebra

arXiv:1004.1488 The unitary symmetric monoidal model category of small C-categories from arXiv Front: math.CT by Ivo Dell'Ambrogio 1 person liked this We produce a cofibrantly generated simplicial symmetric monoidal model structure for the category of (small unital) C-categories, whose weak equivalences are the unitary equivalences. The closed monoidal structure consists of the maximal tensor product, which generalizes that of C-algebras, with the Ghez-Lima-Roberts C-categories of -functors, C(A,B), providing the internal Hom's.

arXiv:1011.0144 Lectures on algebraic categorification from arXiv Front: math.CT by Volodymyr Mazorchuk This is a write-up of the lectures given by the author during the Master Class "Categorification" at Århus University, Denmark in October 2010.

Email from Alexander Palen Ellis: My advisor's (and by extension, I guess, my) main project right now is categorification of representations. The basic idea given an algebra A, we want to find a category and some distinguished endo-functors acting on something, such that when you take K0 of the whole mess you recover your original algebra A acting on various modules for that algebra. The case we care about most is when A is a quantum group, say Uq(g) -- if this can be successfully done, then the Hopf algebra structure on Uq(g) lifts to a "Hopf category" structure on the categorification. This in turn, by work of Frenkel, should yield interesting 4D TQFTS (there are already 3D ones from Uq(g) itself). More generally, one expects categorification to "jack up the dimension" of existing invariants of things, yielding much richer structures. In particular, you often get integrality / positivity results (since you can interpret certain structure constants in an algebra as "the number of times you've applied a certain functor").

Toen: Note of Chern character, loop spaces and derived algebraic geometry. File Toen web publ Abel-2007.pdf. Notion of derived cat sheaves, a categorification of the notion of complexes of sheaves of O-modules on schemes (also quasi-cohomology and perfect versions). Chern character for these categorical sheaves, a categorified version of the Chern char for perfect complexes with values in cyclic homology. Idea of categorical sheaves: For X a scheme, should have a symmetric monoidal 2-cat Cat(X) which is a categorification of Mod(X), in the sense that Mod(X) should be the cat of endomorphisms of the unit objects in Cat(X). More details. Categorification of homological algebra and dg-cats. See Derived categorical sheaves for a longer summary of this paper.

"One common feature of recent trends is “categorification”, often synonymous with “geometrization”. Categorification stands for the passage from a traditional mathematical object to its higher categorical analogue, and, more loosely, for the emphasis on categories instead of particular objects. The categories involved are typically of geometric nature (categories of sheaves of certain kind) and are constructed in a homological framework, i.e., they are triangulated categories, or refinements of these. Examples in representation theory include geometric Langlands duality, ..., homological mirror symmetry and, more generally, focus on derived categories of coherent sheaves in algebraic geometry, which is a categorification of standard cohomology theories."

Chromatic motivic homotopy theory

arXiv:1002.5007 Motivic invariants of p-adic fields from arXiv Front: math.KT by Kyle M. Ormsby I provide a complete analysis of the motivic Adams spectral sequences converging to the bigraded coefficients of the 2-completions of the motivic spectra BPGL and kgl over p-adic fields, p>2. The former spectrum is the algebraic Brown-Peterson spectrum at the prime 2 (and hence is part of the study of algebraic cobordism), and the latter is a certain BPGL-module that plays the role of a "connective" motivic algebraic K-theory spectrum. This is the first in a series of two papers investigating motivic invariants of p-adic fields, and it lays the groundwork for an understanding of the motivic Adams-Novikov spectral sequence over such base fields.

arXiv:0911.5238 Continuous homotopy fixed points for Lubin-Tate spectra from arXiv Front: math.AT by Gereon Quick We construct a stable model structure on profinite symmetric spectra with a continuous action of an arbitrary profinite group. This provides a natural framework for a new construction of homotopy fixed point spectra and of homotopy fixed point spectral sequences for the action of the extended Morava stabilizer group on Lubin-Tate spectra. These continuous homotopy fixed points are canonically equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of Devinatz and Hopkins but have a drastically simplified construction.

arXiv:1101.5201 Every K(n)-local spectrum is the homotopy fixed points of its Morava module from arXiv Front: math.AT by Daniel G. Davis, Takeshi Torii Let n \geq 1 and let p be any prime. Also, let En be the Lubin-Tate spectrum, Gn the extended Morava stabilizer group, and K(n) the nth Morava K-theory spectrum. Then work of Devinatz and Hopkins and some results due to Behrens and the first author of this note, show that if X is a finite spectrum, then the localization L{K(n)}(X) is equivalent to the homotopy fixed point spectrum (L{K(n)}(En \wedge X))^{hGn}, which is formed with respect to the continuous action of Gn on L{K(n)}(En \wedge X). In this note, we show that this equivalence holds for any (S-cofibrant) spectrum X. Also, we show that for all such X, the strongly convergent Adams-type spectral sequence abutting to \pi\ast(L{K(n)}(X)) is isomorphic to the descent spectral sequence that abuts to \pi\ast((L{K(n)}(En \wedge X))^{hG_n}).

Ulrich Thiel: Mackey functors and abelian class field theories. Abstract: Motivated by the work of Jürgen Neukirch and Ivan Fesenko we propose a general definition of an abelian class field theory from a purely group-theoretical and functorial point of view. This definition allows a modeling of abelian extensions of a field inside more general objects than the invariants of a discrete module over the absolute Galois group of the field. The main objects serving as such models are cohomological Mackey functors as they have enough structure to make several reduction theorems of classical approaches work in this generalized setting and, as observed by Fesenko, they even have enough structure to make Neukirch's approach to class field theories via Frobenius lifts work. This approach is discussed in full detail and in its most general setting, including the pro-P setting proposed by Neukirch. As an application and justification of this generalization we describe Fesenko's approach to class field theory of higher local fields of positive characteristic, where the modeling of abelian extensions takes place inside the cohomological Mackey functor formed by the Milnor-Paršin K-groups. The motivation for this work (which is the author's Diplom thesis) was the attempt to understand what a class field theory is and to give a single-line definition which captures certain common aspects of several instances of class field theories. We do not claim to prove any new theorem here, but we think that our general and uniform approach offers a point of view not discussed in this form in the existing literature.

Classical Brown representability

We follow Kono and Tamaki.

We say that a functor is a homotopy functor if whenever is homotopic to . I guess this is the same as a functor on the homotopy category.

A contravariant representable homotopy functor must satisfy the Wedge axiom and a Mayer-Vietoris property: For two subspaces of a space , and two elements , there exists an element which "restricts" to and to .

A homotopy functor satisfying these two properties is called a Brown functor. (We also require )

Thm: A Brown functor takes values in . Moreover, is a group and is an abelian group for .

Thm: Any Brown functor is representable. Similar statement for finite CW complexes, under some additional hypothesis.

Cofiber

In a pointed category with colimits and limits, we define the cofiber, or cokernel, of a map to be the coequalizer of and the zero map.

Cofiber sequence

Let be a Pointed model category. A cofiber sequence in is a diagram in together with a right coaction of on that is IMic in to a diagram of the form where is a cofibration of cofibrant objects in with cofiber and where has the standard right coaction by .

To a cofiber sequence one can associate a boundary map . See Hovey p. 156.

Some further properties: Cofiber sequences are replete in . The sequence is a cofiber sequence. Any map fits as the first map in a cofiber sequence, and as the last in a fiber sequence. If is a cofiber sequence, then is too (must specify coaction here). Applying this last statement again and again gives a long exact sequence, called the Puppe sequence. If the first two maps are given between two cofiber sequences, can find a third map making everything commute. Also another fill-in statement. Verdier's octahedral axiom holds for a cofiber sequence. A left Quillen functor preserves cofiber sequences, and a right Quillen functor preserves fiber sequences. Both kind of sequences are preserved by the closed -module structure induced by the framing (i.e. "smashing" and "RHom").

The above properties are summarized in Hovey's def of pre-triangulated category, see page 170.

Cofibrantly generated

A model category is said to be cofibrantly generated if there are sets and of maps such that

1. The domains of the maps of I are small relative to I-cell
2. The domains of the maps of J are small relative to J-cell
3. The class of fibrations is J-inj
4. The class of trivial fibrations is I-inj

In this situtation, we refer to I as the set of generating cofibrations, and to J as the set of generating trivial cofibrations. A cofibrantly generated model category is called finitely generated if we can choose I and J so that the domains and codomains of I and J are finite relative to I-cell.

Here we have used the following abbreviations: Let I be class of morphisms in a category .

1. A morphism is I-injective if if it has the RLP wrt every morphism in I. Write I-inj for the class of such morphisms.
2. A morphism is I-projective if if it has the LLP wrt every morphism in I. Write I-proj for the class of such morphisms.
3. A morphism is an I-cofibration if it has the LLP wrt every I-injective morphism. Notation: I-cofib.
4. A morphism is an I-fibration if it has the RLP wrt every I-projective morphism. Notation: I-fib.
5. If has all small colimits, define I-cell to be the class of transfinite compositions of pushouts of elements of I. Remark: I-cell is contained in I-cof.

Much more material on this is found in Hovey, Section 2.1. See for exampel Thm 2.1.19, which explains how cofibrantly generated model cats are constructed. We also get a criterion for when a functor is a Quillen functor.

For non-cofibrantly generated model cats, including examples and localization theorems, see the web page of Chorny

A cryptic note: Cofibrantly gen implies projective, and combinatorial implies injective. Does this refer to model structures on functor cats or what??

Cohen-Lenstra heuristics

arXiv:0912.4977 The Global Cohen-Lenstra Heuristic from arXiv Front: math.NT by Johannes Lengler The Cohen-Lenstra heuristic is a universal principle that assigns to each group a probability that tells how often this group should occur "in nature". The most important, but not the only, applications are sequences of class groups, which behave like random sequences of groups with respect to the so-called Cohen-Lenstra probability measure.

So far, it was only possible to define this probability measure for finite abelian $p$-groups. We prove that it is also possible to define an analogous probability measure on the set of \emph{all} finite abelian groups when restricting to the $\Sigma$-algebra on the set of all finite abelian groups that is generated by uniform properties, thereby solving a problem that was open since 1984.

Cohomological descent

David ZB on cohomology descent on the overconvergent site: http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/1204.5246

### Weibel in Thomason's obituary

Weibel's Thomason obituary sketches the following things: For a diagram of spectra indexed by a small category J, the levelwise holims turn out to assemble to a spectrum, called the hypercohomology. Special cases: Hypercohomology of a complex of sheaves, homotopy fixed point spectrum. Explanation of Thomason's homotopy limit problem (special cases being the Segal conjecture and the Quillen-Lichtenbaum conjecture). For a presheaf , with values in spectra, we get the hypercohomology spectrum together with an augmentation map . Cohomological descent means that for every open , the augmentation is a weak equivalence. Cohomological descent implies Mayer-Vietoris (the M-V square is homotopy cartesian), and for a Noetherian scheme of finite Krull dimension, cohomological descent for the Zariski topology is equivalent to M-V. There is also the hypercohomology spectral sequence, and special cases of this are explained to some extent.

At least for a scheme which is quasiprojective over a finite-dimensional Noetherian ring, we have the presheaf of Quillen K-theory spectra, and hence we can construct the corresponding Zariski and etale hypercohomology spectra. For regular, the Quillen K-theory spectrum has CD for the Zariski topology. For nonregular X, there is a fringing effect related to Bass K-groups which means that the Quillen K-theory spectrum cannot have CD, but it is the (-1)-connected cover of another K-theory spectrum (Bass?) which does have cohomological descent for the Zariski topology/ (still for any X q-proj over a fin-dim Noeth ring).

Can also consider K-theory with finite coefficients; it the homotopy groups of a certain spectrum, which can be described in many ways, for example as the smash product with the mod m Moore spectrum. Such a smash prod preserves cd, so the mod m spectrum also has Zariski cd as above.

More about the Quillen-Lichtenbaum conjecture: satisfies etale cohomological descent under some hypotheses. Comparison between K-theory and etale K-theory, see article for details.

arXiv:1205.5896 Approximate computations with modular curves from arXiv Front: math.AG by Jean-Marc Couveignes, Bas Edixhoven This article gives an introduction for mathematicians interested in numerical computations in algebraic geometry and number theory to some recent progress in algorithmic number theory, emphasising the key role of approximate computations with modular curves and their Jacobians. These approximations are done in polynomial time in the dimension and the required number of significant digits. We explain the main ideas of how the approximations are done, illustrating them with examples, and we sketch some applications in number theory.

arXiv:1208.3816 Constructive Homological Algebra and Applications from arXiv Front: math.KT by Julio Rubio, Francis Sergeraert This text was written and used for a MAP Summer School at the University of Genova, August 28 to September 2, 2006. Available since then on the web site of the second author, it has been used and referenced by several colleagues working in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Topology. To make safer such references, it was suggested to place it on the Arxiv repository.

It is a relatively detailed exposition of the use of the Basic Perturbation Lemma to make constructive Homological Algebra (standard Homological Algebra is not constructive) and how this technology can be used in Commutative Algebra (Koszul complexes) and Algebraic Topology (effective versions of spectral sequences).

arXiv:1206.4345 Geometric Objects and Cohomology Operations from arXiv Front: math.AT by Rocio Gonzalez-Diaz, Pedro Real Cohomology operations (including the cohomology ring) of a geometric object are finer algebraic invariants than the homology of it.

In the literature, there exist various algorithms for computing the homology groups of simplicial complexes but concerning the algorithmic treatment of cohomology operations, very little is known. In this paper, we establish a version of the incremental algorithm for computing homology which saves algebraic information, allowing us the computation of the cup product and the effective evaluation of the primary and secondary cohomology operations on the cohomology of a finite simplicial complex. We study the computational complexity of these processes and a program in Mathematica for cohomology computations is presented.

arXiv:0907.3535 Coniveau filtrations and finite dimensionality for pure motives from arXiv Front: math.AG by Charles Vial Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $k \subset \C$. We define a coniveau filtration $\widetilde{N}$ -- a priori different from the usual coniveau filtration $N$ -- on the singular cohomology of $X$ with rational coefficients. If $X$ satisfies the Lefschetz conjecture B, we prove that the projectors on the filtered pieces of the cohomology of $X$ are induced by algebraic correspondences. If moreover $X$ is finite dimensional in the sense of Kimura (for example, $X$ could be any abelian variety or any finite quotient thereof) the Chow motive of $X$ admits a refined Chow-Künneth decomposition lifting the coniveau grading on the cohomology of $X$ and we study the behavior of the Chow groups of $X$ under this decomposition. As an application, we give several conjectural descriptions of the rational Chow groups of $X$ depending on the support of the cohomology groups of $X$. We also consider the case where $k$ is an arbitrary field. Results valid in characteristic zero extend to positive characteristic if one is ready to admit that the Lefschetz conjecture holds in general.

Connes-Consani theory

arXiv:1103.4672 On the arithmetic of the BC-system from arXiv Front: math.NT by Alain Connes, Caterina Consani For each prime p and each embedding of the multiplicative group of an algebraic closure of Fp as complex roots of unity, we construct a p-adic indecomposable representation of the integral BC-system as additive endomorphisms of the big Witt ring of an algebraic closure of Fp. The obtained representations are the p-adic analogues of the complex, extremal KMS states at zero temperature of the BC-system. The role of the Riemann zeta function, as partition function of the BC-system over complex numbers is replaced, in the p-adic case, by the p-adic L-functions and the polylogarithms whose values at roots of unity encode the KMS states. We use Iwasawa theory to extend the KMS theory to a covering of the completion of an algebraic closure of the p-adic field. We show that our previous work on the hyperring structure of the adeles class space, combines with p-adic analysis to refine the space of valuations on the cyclotomic extension of Q as a noncommutative space intimately related to the integral BC-system and whose arithmetic geometry comes close to fulfill the expectations of the "arithmetic site". Finally, we explain how the integral BC-system appears naturally also in de Smit and Lenstra construction of the standard model of an algebraic closure of F_p which singles out the subsystem associated to the Z^-extension of Q.

Cosmic Galois group

arXiv:1108.4627 The Cosmic Galois group as Koszul dual to Waldhausen's A(pt) from arXiv Front: math.AT by Jack Morava K. Hess's theory of homotopical descent, applied to the large categories of motives defined recently by Blumberg, Gepner, and Tabuada, suggests that the Koszul dual of Waldhausen's K-theory of the sphere spectrum, regarded as a supplemented algebra via the Dennis trace, plays a very general role as a kind of motivic group.

After tensoring with the rationals, the resulting Hopf algebra has close relations to the ring of quasi-symmetric functions and work of Baker and Richter on one hand, and on the other to work of Deligne and others on the motivic group for mixed Tate motives.

arXiv:1008.0601 A note on the cotangent complex in derived algebraic geometry from arXiv Front: math.AT by Gabriele Vezzosi This note is supposed to answer some questions on deformation theory in derived algebraic geometry. We show that derived algebraic geometry allows for a geometrical interpretation of the full cotangent complex and gives a natural setting for deformation and obstruction theories.

Crystalline representation

[arXiv:0907.0221] Local constancy for the reduction mod p of 2-dimensional crystalline representations from arXiv Front: math.NT by Laurent Berger Irreducible crystalline representations of dimension 2 of Gal(Qpbar/Qp) depend up to twist on two parameters, the weight k and the trace of frobenius ap. We show that the reduction modulo p of such a representation is a locally constant function of ap (with an explicit radius) and a locally constant function of the weight k if a_p <> 0. We then give an algorithm for computing the reductions modulo p of these representations. The main ingredient is Fontaine's theory of (phi,Gamma)-modules as well as the theory of Wach modules.

Cubical set

http://nlab.mathforge.org/nlab/show/cubical+set

### From ALG-TOP Sep 2009, very interesting

(there might also be further follow-up emails)

I am enquiring about the history of cubical and simplicial sets, and would be grateful for any corrections/additions/references for the following account. As I do not have sure contact details with Dan Kan I am posting this generally, and would be very happy to have his or other account.

1. Dan Kan's first work on abstract homotopy was cubical and published as @article {Kan55, AUTHOR = {Kan, D. M.}, TITLE = {Abstract homotopy. {I}}, JOURNAL = {Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.}, VOLUME = {41}, YEAR = {1955}, PAGES = {1092--1096}, MRCLASS = {55.0X}, % MRNUMBER = {18,142d}, MRREVIEWER = {J. C. Moore}, }

However his second paper was simplicial, and I remember being told in the 1950s as a research student that reasons for abandoning the cubical approach were (i) the geometric realisation of I x I in cubical terms had non trivial homotopy type, and (ii) John Milnor had successfully written on the geometric realisation of simplicial sets, and in particular on the product.

Was the example in (i) ever published or remarked on in some form near that time; it is in quite recent work by Rick Jardine in HHA.

Ronnie Brown

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

I talked to Dan Kan on the phone last night - we first met in Oxford over 50 years ago!

He confirmed that the reasons for giving up the cubical theory in the 1950s were 1. Normalisation of the chains was essential. 2. Cubical groups were not fibrant. 3. The geometric realisation of I x I had the wrong homotopy type.

No getting round 1. A relevant reference is @article {antolini-weist, AUTHOR = {Antolini, Rosa and Wiest, Bert}, TITLE = {The singular cubical set of a topological space}, JOURNAL = {Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.}, FJOURNAL = {Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society}, VOLUME = {126}, YEAR = {1999}, NUMBER = {1}, PAGES = {149--154}, ISSN = {0305-0041}, CODEN = {MPCPCO}, MRCLASS = {55U10 (55U15)}, MRNUMBER = {MR1681660 (2000e:55014)}, MRREVIEWER = {Stanley Kochman}, }

A relevant reference for 2. is @article {tonks-cubgps, AUTHOR = {Tonks, A. P.}, TITLE = {Cubical groups which are {K}an}, JOURNAL = {J. Pure Appl. Algebra}, FJOURNAL = {Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra}, VOLUME = {81}, YEAR = {1992}, NUMBER = {1}, PAGES = {83--87}, ISSN = {0022-4049}, CODEN = {JPAAA2}, MRCLASS = {55U10 (18D35 18G30)}, MRNUMBER = {MR1173825 (93h:55013)}, MRREVIEWER = {Marek Golasi{\'n}ski}, } which shows cubical groups with

The command "%" is illegal in math mode (perhaps you intended to use "\%" instead?)
connections' (see below) are Kan. Various extra structures on cubical sets are discussed in @article {Grandis-cubsite, AUTHOR = {Grandis, M. and Mauri, L.}, TITLE = {Cubical sets and their site}, JOURNAL = {Theory Applic.

connections' introduced by Higgins and me, in order to formulate the notion of cube'). (You get extra types of degenerate' cubes using the monoid structure max on the unit interval.) A major reason for using cubes was the easy notion of multiple compositions, tricky in simplicial or globular theories. Another reason was easy homotopies. See our papers in JPAA.

1. now is OK according to recent work of Maltsiniotis on cubical sets with connection, which develops work of section 8.4 of @article {cisinski-ast, AUTHOR = {Cisinski, Denis-Charles}, TITLE = {Les pr\'efaisceaux comme modeles des types d'homotopie}, JOURNAL = {Ast\'erisque}, FJOURNAL = {Ast\'erisque}, NUMBER = {308}, YEAR = {2006}, PAGES = {xxiv+390}, ISSN = {0303-1179}, ISBN = {978-2-85629-225-9}, MRCLASS = {55-02 (18F20 18G50 55P60 55U35)}, MRNUMBER = {MR2294028 (2007k:55002)}, MRREVIEWER = {Philippe Gaucher}, } H. Federer had some useful Lecture Notes on Algebraic Topology' (Brown University, 1962) which it would be good to have available as a scan. Of course cubical homology was used by Serre, and in books by Hilton and Wylie, and by Massey.

See also I. Patchkoria on derived functors: arXiv: 0907.1905, which uses pseudo-connections'.

Curtis spectral sequence

arXiv:0910.2817 Derived functors of non-additive functors and homotopy theory from arXiv Front: math.AT by Lawrence Breen, Roman Mikhailov We develop a functorial approach to the study of the homotopy groups of spheres and Moore spaces $M(A,n)$, based on the Curtis spectral sequence and the decomposition of Lie functors as iterates of simpler functors such as the symmetric or exterior algebra functors. The discussion takes place over the integers, and includes a functorial description of the derived functors of certain Lie algebra functors, as well as of all the main cubical functors (such as the degree 3 component $SP^3$ of the symmetric algebra functor). As an illustration of this method, we retrieve in a purely algebraic manner the 3-torsion component of the homotopy groups of the 2-sphere up to degree 14, and give a unified presentation of homotopy groups $\pi_i(M(A,n))$ for small values of both $n$ and $i$.
