Serre functors and global dimensions

Let $k$ be a field. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an abelian category (over $k$). We say that $\mathcal{C}$ has a finite global dimension if there exists integer $n > 0$ such that $$ \operatorname{Ext}^i(M,...

Bondal-Orlov' theorem for noncommutative projective schemes

My question is very simple. Is Bondal-Orlov's theorem known for noncommutative projective schemes in the sense of Artin and Zhang? The commutative version is the following : Let $X, Y$ be smooth ...

Is the category of $Z^* $ algebra equivalent to the category of $C^*$ algebras

A $Z^*$ algebra is a $C^*$ algebra whose all positive elements are zero divisor. They form a category with usual structures. Question. Is this category equivalent to the category of $C^*$ algebras? ...

Hochschild homology of stable categories as topological chiral homology

Sorry for repost from Math Stack Exchange: Let $\mathscr{C}_0$ be a small idempotent complete stable category tensored over some symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{E}$. Its Ind-completion $\mathscr{...

Reference for the Swan-Serre theorem as a monoidal equivalence

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff The well-known Swan--Serre theorem gives an equivalence between the continuous vector bundles over a compact Hausdorff space $X$, and finitely-generated projective $C(X)$...

A set of objects classically generates the full subcategory of compact objects iff it generates the whole category

Sorry in advance if my question doesn't have the level of this community. I am studying this paper of Bondal and Van Den Bergh and in particular section 2. Generators and resolutions in triangulated ...

Vanishing of Hochschild homology of a category

Let $A$ be a dg- or $A_{\infty}$-category (with $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Hom sets, over a field of characteristic $0$). Let $HH_*(A)$ be the Hochschild homology of $A$. Suppose that $HH_n(A)=0$ for all $n ...

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 ...

Categorical features of Hilbert spaces

Does the category of Hilbert spaces and bounded maps have any particular categorical feature which can be studied systematically? I mean, I know that it's a $*$-category, but it seems to have much ...

Equivalence of rational Voevodsky motives: partial Converse to Conjecture of Orlov

There is a conjecture of Orlov stating that if $X$ and $Y$ are smooth projective complex varieties that are derived equivalent (equivalent bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves), then their ...

Most natural equivalence between $C^*$-algebras in NCG

I have listen or read that, in the context of noncommutative geometry, Morita equivalence is a more natural equivalence for $C^*$-algebras than $*$-isomorphism. Can someone explain this sentence or ...

Is there something like "Noncommutative geometry internal to a category"?

I have heard that one can do algebraic geometry internal to symmetric monoidal categories. Topological quantum field theories also exist internal to symmetric monoidal categories, and the usual ...

Lifting DG-categories to characteristic zero

The question of lifting (smooth projective) varieties from an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$ to characteristic zero (i.e., to the Witt vectors $W(k)$) is a classical one. It's ...

If the direct image of f preserves coherent sheaves on noetherian schemes, how to show f is proper?

The other direction is well known. I think it is true and I was told by several other guys doing algebraic geometry that it is indeed true but they did not know how to prove. I am also wondering ...

Smooth affine algebras are Calabi-Yau

Are all smooth affine algebras over a field Calabi-Yau? I'm thinking yes since they satisfy Van den Bergh duality with dualizing module themselves (have I made a mistake in this reasoning)/

Open question: non-commutative site following Grothendieck, Quillen, Connes and Crane for quantum gravity.

This is an open question and it's to find out who is interested in this kind of thing, who can benefit from thinking about this. It is very brief but hopefully will only be unclear to people who are ...

Convolution algebras for double groupoids?

There is a lot of work of course on convolution algebras of measured groupoids, and this gives "Noncommutative geometry". However there is a lot of interest in algebraically structured groupoids, for ...

What is the precise relationship between groupoid language and noncommutative algebra language?

I have sitting in front of me two 2-categories. On the left, I have the 2-category GPOID, whose: objects are groupoids; 1-morphisms are (left-principal?) bibundles; 2-morphisms are bibundle ...
