Local proof of Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem

There is a theorem by Feigin and Tsygan(Theorem 1.3.3 here) which they call "Riemann-Roch" theorem. Given a smooth morphism $f:S\to N$ of relative dimension $n$ and a vector bundle $E/S$ of ...

What is a "block" in an abelian category?

In the literature and in some posts here, there has been variation in the undefined use of the term "block" for a category of modules over a ring, or more abstractly an abelian category (all of which ...

Quiver and relations for blocks of category $\mathcal{O}$

In Vybornov - Perverse sheaves, Koszul IC-modules, and the quiver for the category $\mathscr O$ an algorithm is presented to calculate quiver and relations for blocks of category $\mathcal{O}$ . ...

Confusion about Subcategories of Category $\mathcal{O}$

So, in learning about category $\mathcal{O}$ representations of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, I've come across two natural kinds of subcategories, and I think I'm confused about their ...

Whitehead lemmas in Lie algebra cohomology for non-algebraically closed fields

I read in Weibel's homological algebra that Whitehead's first and second lemmas are true for any characteristic 0 field. I mean the following: Whitehead Lemma(s): Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra ...

When is an algebra derived indecomposable?

Call a finite dimensional (acyclic) quiver $K$-algebra A derived indecomposable in case $A$ is not derived equivalent to an algebra of the form $B \otimes_K C$. For example when the number of simples ...

Socle of tilting modules in the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ over a semisimple Lie algebra

Suppose that $\mathfrak{g}$ is a finite dimensional, complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Let $\mathcal{O}$ be the BGG category over $\mathfrak{g}$. Tilting module theory play an important role in the ...

Describing the kernel of the exponential map as a homology group

I am reading Deligne: Hodge III, and am puzzled by a certain statement in section 10. If anyone could give a reference or a hint for how to prove this, I would be grateful. Maybe it is obvious and I ...

How to define cohomology of algebraic structures?

I learned that the Hochschild cohomology of an associative algebra $A$ with a bimodule $M$ is defined using the cochain \begin{align*} \cdots \rightarrow C^n(A,M) \stackrel{d^n}{\longrightarrow} C^{n+...

Homology of solvable (nilpotent) Lie algebras

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a solvable Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ and $\lambda\in(\mathfrak{g}/[\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}])^*$ be a character of $\mathfrak{g}$. I'm interested in calculating homology for ...

Coinduced modules in the BGG category $\mathcal O$ over complex semisimple Lie algebras

For a given finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebera $\mathfrak g$, we fix Cartan $\mathfrak h$ and Borel subalgebras $\mathfrak b$, then we have the BGG category $\mathcal O$. As usual, we ...

Equivalence between blocks of BGG categories $\mathcal{O}$ which does not preserve highest weight structure

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional (complex) semisimple Lie algebra. Then we denote the BGG category for $\mathfrak{g}$ by $\mathcal{O}$ as usual. It is well-known that $\mathcal{O}$ as well ...
