The Octahedral Axiom in group theory

$\require{AMScd}$Here are two results about groups: (The third isomorphism theorem) Suppose that I have $A \triangleleft B \triangleleft C$ and $A \triangleleft C$. Then $C/B \cong (C/A)/(B/A)$. ...

Kontsevich's derived noncommutative geometry and Rosenberg's noncommutative 'spaces'

It appears to me (though I may be wrong) that the common opinion is that the main difference between derived noncommutative geometry and Rosenberg's noncommutative 'spaces' is that Rosenberg's version ...

3x3 lemma in triangulated categories

I am currently reading Le Stum's Rigid Cohomology and have encountered the following passage (proof of Proposition 5.2.16): The deduction made here seems to be purely "triangulated category-...

On the definition of triangulated categories

Triangulated categories were introduced in the 1960s by Grothendieck and Verdier in order to develop homological algebra in the framework of derived categories. An example of a triangulated category ...

On the not so clear relationship between torsion theories and localization for a newcomer

Given an hereditary torsion theory $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{F})$ on an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, how we can relate this to a localization (i.e Ore localization). This is mentioned with not so ...

Spectral sequences coming from filtrations (Postnikov systems) in triangulated categories: references and convergence

Let $c^i: M^{\ge i+1}\to M^{\ge i}$ for $i\in \mathbb{Z}$ be an sequence of morphisms in a triangulated category $C$ and assume that $M^{\ge i}$ are equipped with compatible morphisms into an object $...

Do differential objects form triangulated categories?

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a (fixed) additive category. To a differential object $(A,a)$ for $\mathcal{A}$ (so, $a:A\to A$ and $a^2=0$) one may associate an $\mathcal{A}$-complex $\dots \to A\stackrel{a}{\...

Can triangulated categories be "approximated by countable subcategories" (that are triangulated but not full!)?

For a given (finite) set of (objects and) morphisms $f_i$ in a triangulated category $C$ I am interested in a (non-full!) triangulated subcategory $C'\subset C$ of "small size" that would contain them....

Classification of 2-periodic triangulated categories

Let $T$ be an algebraic triangulated (k-linear over a field, Hom-finite, idempotent-complete) category. Call $T$ 2-periodic if $\Omega^2(X) \cong X$ for all $X \in T$. Question 1: Is there a ...

Generators of unbounded derived categories of (quasi-)coherent sheaves

An object $T$ in a triangulated category $\mathcal{D}$ is called a generator if $T^\perp=0$, which means that for any nonzero $X$ in $\mathcal{D}$, there are $i\in\mathbb{Z}$ and a nonzero morphism $T[...

When there exists some "cone" of a morphism of (ind-representable) cohomological functors?

I am interested in cohomological functors from a certain small triangulated category $C$ to abelian groups. The question is: given a tranformation $F\to G$ of two functors of this sort, is it ...

Perf($\mathscr{A}$) and perfect chain complexes

Suppose $\mathscr{A}$ is a dg category and $ \mathcal{D} (\mathscr{A})$ its associated derived category. For an object in $ a \in \mathscr{A}$ there is associated (right )dg $ \mathscr{A}$ module, $ \...

Good morphisms of distinguished triangles: can Neeman's method be applied to the motivic stable homotopy category?

It is well known that non-uniqueness of a cone for a morphism in a triangulated category $C$ makes constructing exact functors (of triangulated categories) a difficult task. In section 3 of his "Some ...

Multiplication map by a ring element on an object vs. all its suspensions in singularity category

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, consider the bounded derived category of finitely generated $R$-modules $D^b(R)$ and consider the singularity category $D_{sg}(R):=D^b(R)/D^{perf}(R)$. Let $r\...

From exact triangles in the stable category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules to short exact sequences

Let $R$ be a local Gorenstein ring. Let $\underline{\text{CM}}(R)$ be the stable category of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules, it is known to carry a triangulated structure. My question is: If $M\to N\...

Any examples known of $K^b(B)$ localized by a set of morphisms (i.e. of complexes of length 1)?

I would like to understand the following setting: for an additive $B$ localize $K^b(B)$ by a set of $B$-morphisms (i.e. by a thick triangulated subcategory generated by some set of two-term complexes)....
