Could $RHom(A,-)$ distinguish non-quasi-equivalent dg-categories?

One of the remarkable results in Toen's paper is the existence of internal homs of dg-categories. Actually for two dg-categories $A$ and $B$, there exists a dg-category $RHom(A,B)$ such that for any d …

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, $1$- …

Could we form the homotopy category of a dg-category by inverting homotopic invertible morph...

Let $k$ be a field and $\mathcal{C}$ be a dg-category over $k$. It is standard to define the homotopy category $H^0(\mathcal{C})$ as the category consisting the same objects as $\mathcal{C}$ but morph …

Integral transform on noncommutative spaces

I am not an expert of this area and I put it as an answer rahter than a comment just because it's too long. I think an important work on this topic is "The homotopy theory of dg-categories and deriv …

Does the Hochschild cohomology of an $A_{\infty}$-algebra have an algebra structure?

For an algebra $A$ we can define its Hochschild cohomology (see this Wikipedia page) $HH^{\cdot}(A,A)$. It is well-known that the cup product makes $HH^{\cdot}(A,A)$ a (graded-commutative) algebra. No …

A question about the morphisms in the homotopy category of dg-Cat

Let $dg-Cat$ denote the category of (small) dg-categories and $Ho(dg-Cat)$ denote the localization of $dg-Cat$ at quasi-equivalence. Using the model structure on $dg-Cat$ we can describe the morphisms …

Do $RHom(C,D)$ and $DG(C,D)$ have equivalent homotopy categories?

Toen in The homotopy theory of dg-categories and derived Morita theory Section 6 introduced the internal Hom's between dg-categories. Actually for two dg-categories $C$ and $D$, Toen defined $$ RHom(C …

Could we extend the Atiyah class to the sheaf of poly-vector fields to get a Poisson bracket?

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and $TX$ its tangent bundle. The Atiyah class $\alpha(E)\in \text{Ext}^1(E\otimes TX, E)$ for a vector bundle $E$ is defined to be the obstruction of the global existence …

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 …

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 …

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 $Qcoh(U)$ …

What is the applications of the dg-enhancements of derived categories of sheaves

Let $X$ be a scheme and let $D^b_{\text{coh}}(X)$ be the derived category of complexes of sheaves with bounded, coherent cohomologies. We know that the category $D^b_{\text{coh}}(X)$ has some drawbac …

[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 …

Is the dg-nerve functor a Quillen equivalence?

Lurie defines the dg-nerve $N_{dg}(\mathcal{C})$ of a dg-category $\mathcal{C}$ in Higher Algebra Construction 1.3.1.6: for each $n \geq 0$, we define $N_{dg}(\mathcal{C})_n\simeq \text{Hom}_{\mathcal …
