On the multiplicative structure in spectral sequences.
Let $f\colon X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map of sufficiently nice
topological spaces (say, smooth manifolds). Let ${\cal F}=(\dots\rightarrow
F_i \rightarrow F_{i+1}\to \dots)$ be a bounded ...

Relation between Gerstenhaber bracket and Connes differential
Let $C$ be an arbitrary algebra (more generally, a linear 1-category). The following structures are well-known:
A degree-0 product on the Hochschild cohomology $HH^*(C)$
$$
HH^*(C) \otimes HH^*(C) \...

Existence of a bounded finitely generated torsion-free resolution
I am looking for a reference for (or a proof of) the following fact:
Let $G$ be a profinite group.
Let $X^\bullet$ be a complex of discrete $G$-modules.
We assume that the cohomology $G$-modules of $...

Is there a way to define a prime ideal object via diagrams in the category of rings?
I like to think in terms of commutative diagrams rather than referring to elements. So to me a group is really a group object, i.e. an object with some maps satisfying certain commutative diagrams. ...

When does the homological dimension of a tensor product equal the sum of dimensions?
The notion of dimension I prefer most is right global dimension, but the question can also be asked for other notions (e.g. weak dimension, injective dimension, Krull dimension). Letting $d$ be ...

Extensions of maps between graded modules
Let $R$ be a connected graded ring (like $R=\mathbb R[x_1,\dots,x_d]$ with the usual grading) and let $N \subset R^{\oplus n}$ be a graded submodule, i.e. $$N= \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb N} (N \cap R^{\...

Morphisms of Banach spaces
What is the standard name in English for bounded linear maps $f:E\to F$ between Banach spaces such that the kernel $\ker(f)$ has a complement, and $\text{im}(f)$ is closed, and has a complement?

Lifting of product of a Banach algebra
Let $A$ be a non unital Banach algebra. The product induces a bounded linear map $T:A \otimes_{\gamma} A\to A$ where $\otimes_\gamma$ denotes the Banach projective tensor product.
A lifting of $T$ is ...

References for sign conventions in homological algebra
There is no shortage of sign conventions in homological algebra. And once these conventions are set out, there is no shortage of diagrams where an obvious commutative diagram on the underlying ...

Modern reference for integral homology of a finitely generated abelian group
I'm interested in the calculation of $H_n (G,\mathbb{Z})$ for G a finitely generated abelian group, particularly for $n=3$. It's carried out in the 1954/55 Séminaire Henri Cartan, titled "Alg&...

Freyd-Mitchell's embedding theorem
Freyd–Mitchell's embedding theorem states that: if $A$ is a small abelian category, then there exists a ring R and a full, faithful and exact functor $F\colon A \to R\text{-}\mathrm{Mod}$.
I have been ...

Where can I easily look up / calculate (abelian) group cohomology?
For an example I'm trying to understand, I need to calculate some cohomology group of some $\mathbb Z$-module with coefficients in some other $\mathbb Z$-module (with no interesting actions). (In ...

A down-to-earth introduction to the uses of derived categories
When I was learning about spectral sequences, one of the most helpful sources I found was Ravi Vakil's notes here. These notes are very down-to-earth and give a kind of minimum knowledge needed about ...

Is there a "correct" general setting for the principle: "tensoring any object with a projective object yields another projective"?
Apparently this principle was first formulated for left modules over the group algebra $A=kG$ of a finite group, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p>0$ dividing $|G|$. (See Exercise 2 on p. ...

Let $X$ and $Y$ be projective varieties over a field $k$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ be coherent ...

Can the Jacobi-Trudi identity be understood as a BGG resolution?
The thought process that led me to this question is that the identity
$$ \left(\prod_i \frac1{1-x_i}\right)\left(\prod_i {1-x_i}\right)=1$$
can be understood as expressing exactness of the Koszul ...

Equivalence of ordered and unordered cech cohomology.
Given a topological space X and a finite cover X = $\cup X_i$, one can define Cech cohomology of a sheaf of abelian groups F with respect to the cover $\{X_i\}$ in two different ways:

References for a certain generalization of Hochschild cohomology?
Let $C$ be an algebra. Let $E = C^{\otimes 2n}$ be the tensor product (over the ground field) of $2n$ copies of $C$. [EDIT: Or better, $E = C\otimes C^{op}\otimes C\otimes C^{op}\cdots\otimes C \...
