Can we describe equivariant vector bundles of free group action in terms of descent theory (...

It is well known that for a compact topological group $G$ acts (say, from the right) freely on a compact space $X$. Then the category of equivariant complex vector bundles on $X$, $\text{Vect}_G(X)$, …

What is a good basic reference on model categories?

For an introductory textbook I will recommend Homotopy theories and model categories by Dwyer and Spalinski. This 56-page paper is one chapter of the book "Handbook of algebraic topology" and gives a …

Is the derived category of $A$-dg-modules as a dg-category coincide with the ordinary defini...

Let $A$ be a unital dg-algebra over a base field $k$. We consider the category of (unbounded) right $A$-dg-modules with morphisms closed degree $0$ maps. We denote this category by dg-mod-$A$. We coul …

What is descent data (of higher categories), conceptually?

First consider a scheme $X$ with an open cover $\mathcal{U}=\{U_i\}$. An object with descent data on $\mathcal{U}$ is a collection $(\mathcal{E}_i,\phi_{ij})$ where $\mathcal{E}_i$ is a quasi-cohere …

Why do the model structures on dg-algebras and on dg-categories are not compatible?

First we talk about dg-algebras. According to this n-lab page, we write $dgAlg$ for the category of cochain dg-algebras in non-negative degree over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$. Write $CdgAlg\sub …

A question about the Tannaka-Krein reconstruction of finite groups

In Chapter 15 Section 15.2.1 of Quantum Groups and Noncommutative Geometry, 2nd edition, the authors raised a question: can we reconstruct a finite group $G$ from its category of finite dimensional co …

Is there a categorification of topological K-theory?

For a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$, its K-theory $K^0(X)$ is defined to be the Grothendieck group of the isomorphism classes of finite dimensional vector spaces on $X$. For example $K^0(\te …

What is the categorical significance of the trivial $\mathfrak{g}$-module in the category of...

This question may be trivial for experts. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra over a field $k$ and consider the category $\mathfrak{g}$-mod of $\mathfrak{g}$ modules. We can add suitable conditions, …

Is dgCat a category or a 2-category?

Let us consider dgCat, the "collection" of all small dg-categories. In On differential graded categories and Lectures on dg categories the authors state that they form a category, i.e. dgCat has smal …

This question arise from the comparision of the reconstruction theorems of Bondal-Orlov and Balmer and is inspired by Shizhuo Zhang's mathoverflow question: How to unify various reconstruction theorem …

Let $R$ be an unital ring and consider the category of left $R$-modules $R$-Mod. We call a full subcategory $\mathcal{W}\subset R$-Mod a localizing Serre subcategory if $\mathcal{W}$ is closed under i …

[Reference Request] The Definition of Adjoint Functors between dg-categories

Let $A$ and $B$ be two dg-categories, $F: A \rightarrow B$ and $G: B \rightarrow A$ are two functors. Then what is the definition that $F$ and $G$ form an adjoint pair? In my mind $F\dashv G$ require …

Does a fully faithful functor always preserve limits and colimits?

I read on this n-lab page that a fully faithful functor $F: C\to D$ reflects all limits and colimits by the universal property. On the other hand, I think a fully faithful functor does not always pres …

Does the Dwyer-Kan model structure make dgCat a model $2$-category?

Let dgCat be the category of small dg-categories. The well-known Dwyer-Kan model structure makes dgCat a model category. Now we consider dgCat as a 2-category, which objects small dg-categories, $1$- …

How to realize the descent data of Qcoh as a (pseudo)-limit in Cat?

It is well-know that $Qcoh$ is a fibered category on $Sch$. In more details let $\mathcal{C}$ be the category $(Sch/S)$ of schemes over a fixed base scheme S. For each scheme $U$ we define $Qcoh(U)$ …
