Is there a notion of projective dg category?

If $X$ is a smooth projective threefold with a flopping curve $C$ then typically the variety $Y$ obtained from $X$ by a flop in $C$ is not projective, but smooth, proper, and derived equivalent to $X$....

Why Faonte called "small" and "big" dg-nerves?

He uses big and small because the one he calls small is smaller! Trying things out with a dg-category (rather than the more complicated A-infinity structure), the big one goes via the simplicially ...

Derived categories of smooth proper varieties?

The study of derived categories is a special case of the more general study of semiorthogonal components of derived categories. By Chow lemma for any proper variety $X$ there is a blow up $\pi \colon ...

Is every dg-coalgebra the colimit of its finite dimensional dg-subcoalgebras?

For coassociative dg-coalgebras over any field $k$ the answer is positive, because: Let $C$ be a $\mathbb Z$-graded coalgebra and $D\subset C$ a finite-dimensional ungraded subcoalgebra (of the ...

How to stop worrying about enriched categories?

Is the tensor product of pretriangulated dg-categories a pretriangulated dg-category?

Assume that every dg-category is over a field $k$. My guess is that there is a natural (I believe fully faithful) dg-functor \begin{equation} \Phi \colon \mathrm{Perf}(A) \otimes \mathrm{Perf}(B) \to \...

Is every dg-coalgebra the colimit of its finite dimensional dg-subcoalgebras?

Yes. The category of $\mathbb{Z}$-coalgebras is locally presentable, and objects are filtered colimits of finite dimensional subobjects. See the appendix to Coalgebraic models for combinatorial model ...

Functorial cones

The cone construction can be written down very explicitly, just following the definition of mapping cone of chain complexes. Good sources are in my opinion: https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0401009.pdf ...

Perfect DG modules

Well by definition a DG module $X$ is perfect iff it is a direct summand of a module which is a finite iterated extension of free modules (it's then a nontrivial result that this property is the same ...

Deriving the functor $ \int_{\Gamma} F(-,-)$

We eventually found a solution which solved the original issue, though not in the way it is exactly stated here. Namely, we found what would appear to be the most general way that ends can be derived. ...

DG natural transformation Serre functors

It is possible to lift $\alpha \otimes \mathrm{id}$ to a dg-enhancement, one way is the following. Just to fix notation, this natural transformation is induced from $$ \alpha \colon \mathcal{O}_X \to ...

Morphisms on fibre products

This is not true. For example take $F_1 = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbf{N}} \mathcal{O}_X$, $F_2 = \mathcal{O}_X$, $G_1 = \bigoplus_{m \in \mathbf{N}} \mathcal{O}_Y$ and $G_2 = \mathcal{O}_Y$. Moreover, ...

Intuition for points of the moduli of objects for a dg-category

homotopy limits of dg categories

I'm sorry this answer is not on time. Actually for cosimplicial diagrams of dg-categories, which is mostly common in algebraic geometry, the homotopy limit is given by the dg-category of twisted ...

Colimits of DG-categories and functors between them

The answer to (2) is yes, by a nice result of Gaitsgory plus an easy categorical argument. To spell it out, the situation of the OP is the following, where functors going down are $ev_i$ and functors ...

Are dg-modules over a cofibrant dg-category cofibrant?

My question is: suppose that C is a cofibrant dg-category. Then are either of Ĉ or dgMod_C^op cofibrant dg-categories? A cofibrant object in a cofibrantly generated model category (such as dgCat) is ...

Definition of gluing of dg categories

This gluing can be viewed as a dg-category of "generalized morphisms". If you take $\mathcal D_1 = \mathcal D_2 = \mathcal D$ and $N$ to be the diagonal bimodule, then what you get is the dg-category ...

$k$-linear $\infty$ stable categories and dg categories

For a dg-category $\mathcal C$, being flat means that all enriched Hom's are flat (as k-modules). In other words, for every two objects $a,b$, one requires that the functor $\mathcal C(x,y)\otimes-$ ...

How to show mapping cones are homotopy cofibers

A very short answer would be as follows. What you define to be $\mathrm{Cone}(f)$ lies in a triangle in $\mathcal C$: \begin{equation} C \xrightarrow{f} D \to \mathrm{Cone}(f), \end{equation} ...

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

Actually the hom-set $[B,C]$ between two dg-categories in $\mathrm{Hqe}$ is described as \begin{equation} [B,C] \cong \mathrm{Iso}(H^0(RHom(B,C))),\end{equation} so if $RHom(A,B) \cong RHom(A,C)$ in $...
