arXiv:0911.0343 Perverse coherent t-structures through torsion theories from arXiv Front: math.CT by Jorge Vitoria Bezrukavnikov (later together with Arinkin) recovered the work of Deligne defining perverse $t$-structures for the derived category of coherent sheaves on a projective variety. In this text we prove that these $t$-structures can be obtained through tilting torsion theories as in the work of Happel, Reiten and Smal\o. This approach proves to be slightly more general as it allows us to define, in the quasi-coherent setting, similar perverse $t$-structures for certain noncommutative projective planes.
arXiv:1009.5904 Weight structures and simple dg modules for positive dg algebras from arXiv Front: math.KT by Bernhard Keller, Pedro Nicolas Using techniques due to Dwyer-Greenlees-Iyengar we construct weight structures in triangulated categories generated by compact objects. We apply our result to show that, for a dg category whose homology vanishes in negative degrees and is semi-simple in degree 0, each simple module over the homology lifts to a dg module which is unique up to isomorphism in the derived category. This allows us, in certain situations, to deduce the existence of a canonical t-structure on the perfect derived category of a dg algebra. From this, we can obtain a bijection between hearts of t-structures and sets of so-called simple-minded objects for some dg algebras (including
arXiv:1206.4882 Glueing silting objects from arXiv Front: math.CT by Qunhua Liu, Jorge Vitoria, Dong Yang Recent results by Keller and Nicol{á}s and by Koenig and Yang have shown bijective correspondences between suitable classes of t-structures and co-t-structures with certain objects of the derived category: silting objects. On the other hand, the techniques of glueing (co-)t-structures along a recollement play an important role in the understanding of derived module categories. Using the above correspondence with silting objects we present explicit constructions of glueing of silting objects, and, furthermore, we answer the question of when is the glued silting tilting.

arXiv:0910.3812 Geometric criteria for tame ramification from arXiv Front: math.AG by Johannes Nicaise We prove an A'Campo type formula for the tame monodromy zeta function of a smooth and proper variety over a discretely valued field $K$. As a first application, we relate the orders of the tame monodromy eigenvalues on the $\ell$-adic cohomology of a $K$-curve to the geometry of a relatively minimal $sncd$-model, and we show that the semi-stable reduction theorem and Saito's criterion for cohomological tameness are immediate consequences of this result. As a second application, we compute the error term in the trace formula for smooth and proper $K$-varieties. We see that the validity of the trace formula would imply a partial generalization of Saito's criterion to arbitrary dimension.

Let

arXiv:1204.5787 Tannaka duality over ring spectra from arXiv Front: math.AT by James Wallbridge We prove a Tannaka duality theorem for $(\infty,1)$-categories. This is a duality between certain derived group stacks, or more generally certain derived gerbes, and symmetric monoidal $(\infty,1)$-categories endowed with particular structure. This duality theorem is defined over commutative ring spectra and subsumes the classical statement. We show how the classical theory, and its extension over arbitrary rings, arises as a special case of our more general theory.

arXiv:1108.6310 Counterexamples to the Hasse principle from arXiv Front: math.NT by Wayne Aitken, Franz Lemmermeyer In this article we develop counterexamples to the Hasse principle using only techniques from undergraduate number theory and algebra. By keeping the technical prerequisites to a minimum, we hope to provide a path for nonspecialists to this interesting area of number theory. The counterexamples considered here extend the classical counterexample of Lind and Reichardt. As discussed in an appendix, this type of counterexample is important in the theory of elliptic curves: today they are interpreted as nontrivial elements in the Tate--Shafarevich group.
arXiv:1108.3323 Local-global principles for torsors over arithmetic curves from arXiv Front: math.AG by David Harbater, Julia Hartmann, Daniel Krashen We consider local-global principles for torsors under linear algebraic groups, over function fields of curves over complete discretely valued fields. The obstruction to such a principle is a version of the Tate-Shafarevich group; and we show that it is finite in important cases. Moreover we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for local-global principles to hold. The proofs use techniques from patching. We also give new applications to quadratic forms and central simple algebras.

arXiv:1101.2236 Relations in the tautological ring from arXiv Front: math.AG by R. Pandharipande, A. Pixton These notes cover our series of three lectures at Humboldt University in Berlin for the October 2010 conference "Intersection theory on moduli space" (organized by G. Farkas). The topic concerns relations among the kappa classes in the tautological ring of the moduli space of genus g curves. After a discussion of classical constructions in Wick form, we derive an explicit set of relations obtained from the virtual geometry of the moduli space of stable quotients. In a series of steps, the stable quotient relations are transformed to simpler and simpler forms. Our final result establishes a previously conjectural set of tautological relations proposed a decade ago by Faber-Zagier.
The Faber-Zagier relations are defined using g and a single series in one variable with coefficients (6i)!/(3i)!(2i)!. Whether these relations span the complete set of relations among the kappa classes on the moduli space of genus g curves is an interesting question.arXiv:1101.5489 Tautological and non-tautological cohomology of the moduli space of curves from arXiv Front: math.AG by C. Faber, R. Pandharipande After a short exposition of the basic properties of the tautological ring of the moduli space of genus g Deligne-Mumford stable curves with n markings, we explain three methods of detecting non-tautological classes in cohomology. The first is via curve counting over finite fields. The second is by obtaining length bounds on the action of the symmetric group S_n on tautological classes. The third is via classical boundary geometry. Several new non-tautological classes are found.

Ross and Street: The geometry of tensor calculus I. Gives an intro to tensor cats.
We consider (as motivation?) the category
of finitedimensional representations over of an affine -group scheme . The algebra of functions on carries the structure of a "cogebra", actually a commutative Hopf algebra 
. The abelian -linear category is equivalent to the category of comodules of finite -dimension, relative to the cogebra structure of . The algebra structure of is hidden in the tensor structure of .Def: A tensor category over a commutative ring
is an -linear cat with a tensor structure, i.e. a bilinear bifunctor, a unit object, and functorial isomorphisms expressing associativity, commutativity and unit laws; these are required to satisfy three coherence diagrams.A rigid tensor cat over
is a tensor cat over equipped with a autoduality 
such that for every object , tensoring on the right with the dual of is left adjoint to tensoring on the right with , and same with left and right interchanged.This structure gives us adjunciton morphisms
and 
, called evaluation and coevaluation, satisfying certain properties. In a rigid tensor category, every endomorphism has a trace, which is element 
. We define the rank (or dimension) of an object to be the trace of 
.Example: The cat of finitedimensional linear reps of a group, over some field? The unit object is the trivial rep, and rank is the obvious thing.
Example: The cat of
-graded finite-dimensional -vector spaces. Alternatively, 
-graded. Tensor product turns this into a rigid tensor cat, in which the commutativity constraint is given be the Koszul sign rule. The rank of an object is its super-dimension 
, where 
is the direct sum of the even parts etc.Example: Combining the last two examples, one obtains the rigid tensor category of super-representations of
. In practice, one considers often a certain subcat of this.Example: The cat of vector bundles on a fixed
-scheme. It has 
if proper and geometrically connected. The rank is what you think it is.Remark: In a pseudo-abelian rigid tensor category over a field
of char 0, one can define the symmetric and exterior powers of any object .Def: Tensor functor between tensor categories. (What you think it is).
If the tensor cats are rigids, any tensor functor between them is automatically compatible with taking duals, up to a natural isomorphism. Furthermore, because of duality, every morphism of tensor functors is an isomorphism.

arXiv:1006.4347 Topological Hochschild Homology of $K/p$ as a $Kp^\wedge$ module from arXiv Front: math.AT by Samik Basu Let $R$ be an $E\infty$-ring spectrum. Given a map $\zeta$ from a space $X$ to $BGL1R$, one can construct a Thom spectrum, $X^\zeta$, which generalises the classical notion of Thom spectrum for spherical fibrations in the case $R=S^0$, the sphere spectrum. If $X$ is a loop space ($\simeq \Omega Y$) and $\zeta$ is homotopy equivalent to $\Omega f$ for a map $f$ from $Y$ to $B^2GL1R$, then the Thom spectrum has an $A\infty$-ring structure. The Topological Hochschild Homology of these $A\infty$-ring spectra is equivalent to the Thom spectrum of a map out of the free loop space of $Y$.
This paper considers the case $X=S^1$, $R=Kp^\wedge$, the p-adic $K$-theory spectrum, and $\zeta = 1-p \in \pi1BGL1Kp^\wedge$. The associated Thom spectrum $(S^1)^\zeta$ is equivalent to the mod p $K$-theory spectrum $K/p$. The map $\zeta$ is homotopy equivalent to a loop map, so the Thom spectrum has an $A\infty$-ring structure. I will compute $\pi*THH^{K_p^\wedge}(K/p)$ using its description as a Thom spectrum.<]]>- ThomasonWrite comment View comments

Put another way, I would like to discuss when continuous families of Landweber exact homology the- ories can be lifted to families of structured ring spectra. I would also like to explain why we care: this is part of long standing program (going back to Morava and others) of using arithmetic algebraic geometry to understand phenomena in stable homotopy theory. While very much a developing the- ory, the work of Hopkins, Miller, Lurie, Behrens, Lawson, and others over the last ten or so years have given us very precise tools. The theory and practice of these tools is the emphasis of these lectures. Topics we be a subset of the following list, depending on time and the background of the audience.

A talk abstract: Andrew Salch (Johns Hopkins University). A computational motivation for topological Langlands correspondences. Abstract: We describe the most effective known method for computing the stable homotopy groups of spheres at odd primes; this uses formal modules over p-adic number rings, together with base-change properties of the "chromatic filtration," i.e., local cohomology on the moduli stacks of formal modules, to construct the Adams-Novikov E_2-term. A consequence of these methods is the appearance of denominators of special values of Artin L-functions in the orders of the stable homotopy groups of spheres. We describe the role this phenomenon plays in motivating the (still very speculative) study of topological Langlands correspondences.

arXiv:1108.3349 A higher category of cobordisms and topological quantum field theory from arXiv Front: math.CT by Mark Feshbach, Alexander A. Voronov 1 person liked this The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d open-closed TQFTs to higher dimensions. The approach is based on the notion of an n-fold category by C. Ehresmann, weakened in the spirit of monoidal categories (associators, interchangers, Mac Lane's pentagons and hexagons), in contrast with the simplicial (weak Kan and complete Segal) approach of Jacob Lurie. We show how different Topological Quantum Field Theories, such as gauge, Chern-Simons, Yang-Mills, WZW, Seiberg-Witten, Rozansky-Witten, and AKSZ theories, as well as sigma model, may be described as functors from the pseudo n-fold category of cobordisms to a pseudo n-fold category of sets.

arXiv:1108.3376 Higher order derived functors and the Adams spectral sequence from arXiv Front: math.CT by Hans-Joachim Baues, David Blanc Classical homological algebra considers chain complexes, resolutions, and derived functors in additive categories. We describe track algebras in dimension n, which generalize additive categories, and we define higher order chain complexes, resolutions, and derived functors. We show that higher order resolutions exist in higher track categories, and that they determine higher order Ext-groups. In particular, the E_m-term of the Adams spectral sequence (m less than n+3) is a higher order Ext-group, which is determined by the track algebra of higher cohomology operations.

Most triangulated cats in nature appear as the homotopy category of a stable model category. For an example where this is not the case, see Muro, with an improvement here

Beilinson claims on some lecture notes that our notion of triangulated cat is not the right one. Why?
Baues and Muro has a notion of triangulated track category, a 2-dimensional analogue of triangulated categories. In this setting the octahedron axiom holds automatically because of the 2-category structure. See Baues: Triangulated track categories (2006), or ask Muro.

Title: Complete intersections and derived categories. Authors: D.J.Benson, J.P.C.Greenlees. We propose a definition of when a triangulated category should be considered a complete intersection. We show (using work of Avramov and Gulliksen) that for the derived category of a complete local Noetherian commutative ring R, the condition on the derived category D(R) holds precisely when R is a complete intersection in the classical sense. http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.4025

An additive category with translation is an additive category together with an additive autofunctor. A morphism of such categories is required to commute (up to isomorphism) with the translations. A triangle in an additive category with translation is a sequence
. A morphism of triangles is what you think it is (require last vertical map to be T(first map) ).Remark: Sign rule for changing signs in the maps of triangle ("The new triangle is IMic to the old if the signs multiply to one").
A triangulated category is an additive category with translation, together with a family of distinguished triangles satisfying six axioms:
- TR0: "Closed under isomorphism"
- TR1: "X \to X \to 0 \to TX" (first map is id)
- TR2: Every map fits as the first map into some d.t.
- TR3: A triangle X, Y, Z, TX is distinguished iff Y, Z, TX, TY (all maps with a minus sign) is distinguished.
- TR4: A "morphism of triangles but without the third map" can be completed (non-uniquely) to a morphism of triangles.
- TR5: Octahedron axiom
A triangulated functor of triangulated cats is a functor of add cats w transl, sending dt's to dt's.
Prop: In a dt, the map
is zero.Cohomological functor: A functor from a triangulated category to an abelian category is called cohomological if for any DT (X,Y,Z), the sequence
is exact.Note that a cohomological functor gives a long exact sequence:
Proposotions: Any Hom functor is cohomological in both variables. In a morphism of DTs, if first two maps are IMs, then so os the third. Criterion for uniqueness in TR4. A triangulated functor is exact. If a tr.category admits direct sums, the direct sum of DTs is a DT. Under some hypotheses, the (Kan???) extension of a cohomological functor to a bigger tr.category is also cohomological.
In a tr.category admitting small direct sums, we can define the notion of a system of t-generators. Morally, this is a family of objects that, regarded as covariant functors, detect when an object is isomorphic to zero, and also has a certain countable direct sum property.
Thm: Let D be a triangulated category with a family F of t-generators. Let
be a cohomological functor which commutes with small products, i.e. 
. Then H is representable. Many variants on this thm, for example for cats not admitting small direct sums.Homotopy colimit. In a tr.category, a hocolim of an inductive system

Thomason: The classification of triangulated subcategories. In addition to classification (relating subcats to subgroups of the Grothendieck group) and relation to the Nilpotence theorem, this contains some speculation on the "right" definition of algebraic n-cycles, which should be an object in some triangulated subcategory of the category of perfect complexes. These cycles should give a good notion replacing the Chow ring in cases such as singular algebraic varieties and schemes flat and of finite type over Spec Z. The article also reviews basic notions in triangulated categories, such as thick subcategories, the Grothendieck group, and more.
arXiv:0910.2539 General heart construction on a triangulated category (II): Associated cohomological functor from arXiv Front: math.CT by Noriyuki Abe, Hiroyuki Nakaoka In the preceding part (I) of this paper, we showed that for any torsion pair (i.e., $t$-structure without the shift-closedness) in a triangulated category, there is an associated abelian category, which we call the heart. Two extremal cases of torsion pairs are $t$-structures and cluster tilting subcategories. If the torsion pair comes from a $t$-structure, then its heart is nothing other than the heart of this $t$-structure. In this case, as is well known, by composing certain adjoint functors, we obtain a cohomological functor from the triangulated category to the heart. If the torsion pair comes from a cluster tilting subcategory, then its heart coincides with the quotient category of the triangulated category by this subcategory. In this case, the quotient functor becomes cohomological. In this paper, we unify these two constructions, to obtain a cohomological functor from the triangulated category, to the heart of any torsion pair.
arXiv:1101.3233 Report on locally finite triangulated categories from arXiv Front: math.CT by Henning Krause The basic properties of locally finite triangulated categories are discussed. The focus is on Auslander--Reiten theory and the lattice of thick subcategories.
arXiv:1101.5931 Does full imply faithful? from arXiv Front: math.CT by Alberto Canonaco, Dmitri Orlov, Paolo Stellari We study full exact functors between triangulated categories. With some hypothesis on the source category we prove that it admits an orthogonal decomposition into two pieces such that the functor restricted to one of them is zero while the restriction to the other is faithful. In particular, if the source category is either the category of perfect complexes or the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a noetherian scheme supported on a closed connected subscheme, then any non-trivial exact full functor is faithful as well. Finally we show that removing the noetherian hypothesis this result is not true.
arXiv:1102.2879 Stratifying derived categories of cochains on certain spaces from arXiv Front: math.CT by Shoham Shamir In recent years, Benson, Iyengar and Krause have developed a theory of stratification for compactly generated triangulated categories with an action of a graded commutative Noetherian ring. Stratification implies a classification of localizing and thick subcategories in terms of subsets of the prime ideal spectrum of the given ring. In this paper two stratification results are presented: one for the derived category of a commutative ring-spectrum with polynomial homotopy and another for the derived category of cochains on certain spaces. We also give the stratification of cochains on a space a topological content.
