Contraction of graded vector fields on de Rham complex

Given a commutative algebra $A$ smooth over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, the module of K\"ahler differentials $\Omega^{1}$ is projective of finite rank and so the sum of all …

bar construction for algebras with unusual grading of d

The bar construction is usually applied to differential graded algebras with differential $d$ of degree +1 or -1. Using multiple (de)suspensions, it also works for $d$ of any degre …

How to define the equivalence of Maurer-Cartan elements in an $L_{\infty}$-algebra?

First let $L^{\bullet}$ be a pro-nilpotent differential graded Lie algebra (dgla). We have the set of Maurer-Cartan elements in $L^{\bullet}$ ($MC(L^{\bullet})$) which are $\alpha …

Origin of the sign convention in the Tensor product of graded vector spaces

Suppose $V := \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{N}}V_i$ and $W := \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{N}}W_i$ are $\mathbb{N}$-graded vector spaces. Then their graded tensor power is defined by $V \b …

The vanishing of non-connective K-theory in negative degrees

In the works of Cisinski, Tabuada, and Schlichting certain non-connective K-theory groups for a differential graded category $C$ are defined. As far as I understand, $K_i(C)$ is no …

Computing morphisms in localizations of $K(B)$

Let $B$ be an additive category (a small one; one can assume that it is a $\mathbb{Q}$-category, yet not much else is known about it). Given a set of objects $S$ of $K^b(B)$ (or $K …
