December 4 李鹏辉 (Penghui Li), 清华大学
Graded sheaves and categorification of $q$

I will present joint work with Quoc P. Ho on our theory of graded sheaves, which offers a uniform construction of "mixed versions" or "graded lifts" in the sense of Beilinson-Ginzburg-Soergel applicable to arbitrary Artin stacks. As a straightforward reinterpretation of classical results, this framework allows for the categorification of many quantum algebras, including Hecke algebras and positive quantum groups, through graded sheaves. In a new application, we introduce a graded version of Lusztig's character sheaves and utilize it to prove a conjecture by Gorsky, Negut, and Rasmussen, which establishes a connection between the HOMFLY homology of knots and links and the cohomology of coherent sheaves on Hilbert schemes.

Semi-orthogonal decomposition and dualities applied to K-theory

Semi-orthogonal decomposition serves as a powerful tool for understanding derived categories. Through the additivity theorem, it also aids in computing (higher) algebraic K-theory. Additionally, Hermitian K-theory—a quadratic refinement of algebraic K-theory—can be approached using semi-orthogonal decomposition, with the main focus on understanding the symmetry of semi-orthogonal decompositions under various dualities in derived categories. In this talk, I will explain how semi-orthogonal decomposition can be utilized to understand the connecting homomorphism in the localization sequence of Hermitian K-theory and present several computations employing this approach.

Tilting-completion for gentle algebras

It is proved that any almost tilting module over a gentle algebra is partial tilting, that is, it can be completed as a tilting module. Furthermore, it has at most $2n$ complements, which confirms a (deformed)conjecture of Happel for the case of gentle algebras. At the same time, for any $n > 2$ and $0< m < n-1$, there always exists a connected gentle algebra with rank n and a pre-tilting module over it with rank m which is not partial tilting. The tool we use is the surface model associated with the module category of a gentle algebra. The main technique is doing inductions by cutting the surface, which is expected to be useful elsewhere.

Noncommutative surfaces, clusters, and their symmetries

The aim of my talk (based on joint work in progress with Arkady Berenstein and Vladimir Retakh) is to introduce and study certain noncommutative algebras A for any marked orbifold. These algebras admit noncommutative clusters, i.e., embeddings of a given group G which is either free or one-relator (we call it triangle group) into the multiplicative monoid A×. The clusters are parametrized by triangulations of the orbifold and exhibit a noncommutative Laurent Phenomenon, which asserts that generators of the algebra can be written as sums of the images of elements of G for any noncommutative cluster. If the surface is unpunctured, then our algebra A can be specialized to the ordinary quantum cluster algebra, and the noncommutative Laurent Phenomenon becomes the (positive) quantum one. It turns out that there is a natural action of a certain braid-like group Br_A by automorphisms of G on each cluster in a compatible way (this is, indeed, the braid group Br_n if the surface is an unpunctured disk with n+2 marked boundary points). If surface is punctured, the algebra A admits a family of commuting automorphisms which will give new clusters and new "tagged" noncommutative Laurent Phenomena. There are important elements in A assigned to each marked point, which we refer to as noncommutative angles (or h-lengths). They belong to the group algebra of each cluster group and are invariant under all noncommutative cluster mutations. This eventually gives rise to noncommutative integrable systems on unpunctured cylinders and other surfaces which, in particular, recover the ones introduced by Kontsevich in 2011 together with their Laurentness and positivity.

Affine vertex operator superalgebra $L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0)$ at admissible level

In this talk, I present our recent results on affine vertex operator superalgebra $L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0)$ at admissible level $l$. We prove that the category of weak $L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0)$-modules on which the positive part of $\widehat{osp(1|2)}$ acts locally nilpotently is semisimple. Then we prove that Q-graded vertex operator superalgebras $(L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0),\omega_\xi)$ with a new Virasoro element $\omega_\xi$ are rational and the irreducible modules are exactly the admissible modules for $\widehat{osp(1|2)}$, where $0<\xi<1$ is a rational number. Furthermore, we determine the Zhu's algebras $A(L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0))$ and their bimodules $A(L(l,j))$ for $(L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0),\omega_\xi)$, where $j$ is the admissible weight. As an application, we calculate the fusion rules among the irreducible ordinary modules of $(L_{\widehat{osp(1|2)}}(l,0),\omega_\xi)$. This is a joint work with Huaimin Li.

Cohomology, deformations, and homotopy of post-Lie algebras

Guided by Koszul duality theory, we consider the graded Lie algebra of coderivations of the cofree conilpotent graded cocommutative cotrialgebra generated by a graded vector space V. We show that in the case of V being a shift of an ungraded vector space W, Maurer-Cartan elements of this graded Lie algebra are exactly post-Lie algebra structures on W. The cohomology of a post-Lie algebra is then defined using Maurer-Cartan twisting. The second cohomology group of a post-Lie algebra has a familiar interpretation as equivalence classes of infinitesimal deformations. Next we define a post-Lie-infty algebra structure on a graded vector space to be a Maurer-Cartan element of the aforementioned graded Lie algebra. Post-Lie-infty algebras admit a useful characterization in terms of L-infty-actions (or open-closed homotopy Lie algebras). Finally, we introduce the notion of homotopy Rota-Baxter operators on open-closed homotopy Lie algebras and show that certain homotopy Rota-Baxter operators induce post-Lie-infty algebras. This is a joint work with Andrey Lazarev and Rong Tang.

On coideal subalgebras of Hopf algebras

Coideal subalgebras of Hopf algebras are conceptually the right context to define and understand quantum homogeneous spaces. The class of pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical includes many important examples of Hopf algebras. In this talk, I will present several structure results for coideal subalgebras of pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical under some mild conditions.

On $\mathbb{X}$-Calabi-Yau completions for dg algebras

In 2018, in their study of deformations of spaces of stability conditions, Ikeda-Qiu introduced $\mathbb{X}$-Calabi-Yau completions (=bigraded CY-completions) and proved that the cluster category associated with the $\mathbb{X}$-CY-completion of a Dynkin quiver is equivalent to the bounded derived category of its category of representations. We will report on joint work with Fan Li and Yu Qiu where we generalize this theorem to suitable differential graded algebras. We will then compare this result with Hanihara's recent generalization to dg algebras of Happel's description of the derived category as the singularity category of the repetitive algebra.

Localization theorems for approximable triangulated catgeories

Approximable triangulated categories, as introduced and developed by Neeman, provide a solid framework for studying localization sequences within triangulated categories. In this talk, we demonstrate that a recollement of approximable triangulated categories induces interesting short exact sequences of both triangulated subcategories and Verdier quotient categories. Additionally, we discuss applications of these results within the derived categories of finite-dimensional algebras, DG algebras, and schemes. This is based on a joint work with Yongliang Sun.

$d$-hearts in triangulated categories

In this talk, we introduce the notion of $d$-hearts, which is a finite analogue of hearts of bounded $t$-structures, and it can be regarded as a counterpart of $d$-cluster tilting subcategories in negative Calabi-Yau triangulated categories and as a generalization of simple-minded systems. As an analogue of classical result due to Beilinson-Bernstein-Deligne, we show that $d$-hearts are abelian categories for $d\geqslant 3$. Using bounded $t$-structures, we construct $d$-hearts by using shifted Serre functors. This is a joint work in progress with Osamu Iyama.

F-invariant in cluster algebras

A cluster algebra is a $\mathbb{Z}$-subalgebra of a rational function field generated by a special set of generators called cluster variables, which are grouped into overlapping subsets of fixed size, called clusters. One can travel from one cluster to the others by a recursive process called mutation. Cluster monomials are monomials in cluster variables from a single cluster. A fundamental problem in cluster algebras is to characterize when two cluster variables are contained in the same cluster. A more general problem is to characterize when the product of two cluster monomials is still a cluster monomial. In this talk, we introduce F-invariant in cluster algebras and use it to characterize when the product of two cluster monomials is still a cluster monomial.

How modular data uniquely determine a ribbon fusion category of type A and its applications

It is believed that modular data, i.e., the set of S and T matrices, uniquely determine a modular tensor category. We prove that this conjecture is true for fusion category arising from quantum group $U_{q}(sl_{N})$. As a consequence, we prove a few Kazhdan-Lusztig type correspondences, that is, the representation categories of affine Lie algebras, W-algebras and quantum groups of type A are braided tensor equivalent.

Crystal Structure of Upper Cluster Algebras

We describe the upper seminormal crystal structure for the $\mu$-supported $\delta$-vectors for any quiver with potential with reachable frozen vertices, or equivalently for the tropical points of the corresponding cluster $\mathcal{X}$-variety. We show that the crystal structure can be algebraically lifted to the generic basis of the upper cluster algebra. This can be viewed as an additive categorification of the crystal structure arising from cluster algebras. We introduce the biperfect bases and the strong biperfect bases in the cluster algebra setting and give a description of all (strong) biperfect bases, which are parametrized by lattice points in a product of explicit polyhedral sets.

Global bases and canonical bases for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras

We construct new Kashiwara operators for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebra and use modified grand loop argument to prove the existence of crystal bases. By using new crystal bases, we construced global bases. Moreover, we introduce the primitive canonical bases, and prove it coincides with global bases. This is a joint work with Han, Kang and Kim.

Powers of ghost ideals

In 1996, Xu proved the following result: if the class of pure injective modules is closed under extensions, then every cotorsion module is pure injective. The proof is based on the fact that every module has a pure injective envelope. It is natural to conjecture that if the class of pure projective module is closed extensions, then every FP-projective module is pure projective. We note that although every module has a pure projective precover, it may not have a pure projective cover, hence the argument used by Xu can not be dualized to the above conjecture. In this talk, I will present how to solve this conjecture by developing a theory of infinite powers of approximating ideals. A key tool in this theory is an ideal version of Eklof Lemma.  I will present the proof of this result. The talk is based on a joint work with Sergio Estrada,Ivo Herzog, and Sinem Odabasi.

i-quantum groups and i-Hall algebras

The i-quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs can be viewed as a natural generalization of Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups. Recently, we introduced i-quiver algebras, and used their i-Hall algebras to realize the i-quantum groups of quasi-split type. This construction includes a reformulation of Bridgeland's Hall algebra realization for a whole quantum group. In this talk, I will survey the development of i-quantum groups and their Hall algebra realizations.

From finitely presented objects to 2-term complexes

In this talk I will discuss a functor from the category of objects finitely presented by a rigid object in a triangulated category to the homotopy category of 2-term complexes of finitely generated projective modules over the endomorphism algebra of this rigid object: its construction and its basic properties especially its compatibility with cluster-tilting theory. As an application, we can recover a theorem of Mizuno on endomorphism algebras of certain 2-term silting complexes over the Jacobian algebra of a self-injective quiver with potential.

A complete derived invariant for graded gentle algebras

Abstract: We first give an overview on the geometric invariants, introduced by Lekili--Polishchuk, for smooth and finite dimensional graded gentle algebras. If two graded gentle algebras have the same invariants then they are necessarily derived equivalent. It was conjectured that the converse also holds.
   In this talk, we confirm this conjecture, based on a full description on the (non)existence of a silting object in the perfect derived category of a smooth and finite dimensional graded gentle algebra. This is a joint work with Haibo Jin and Sibylle Schroll.

Triangular bases for strata of algebraic groups

Abstract: Triangular bases are Kazhdan-Lusztig type bases for quantum cluster algebras. Examples include the dual canonical bases for the quantized coordinate rings of unipotent subgroups. In this talk, we show the existence of these bases for the quantized coordinate rings of the double Bruhat cells, generalizing the results from unipotent subgroups. It is worth noting that when the Cartan matrix is symmetric, their structure constants are positive and they have monoidal categorification after minor modification.

Trivializing circle actions on the moduli spaces of curves

Abstract: Koszul duality between algebras has been generalized by Ginzburg-Kapranov in their famous work on Koszul duality between operads. For example, we have a nice duality between Lie and Comm operads. In the 90’s, Getlzer obtained a beautiful generalization of this: a Koszul duality between Grav and Hyper-Comm operads. These operads are defined using moduli spaces of genus zero curves and the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactifications. In this talk, we will discuss a higher genus version of this duality. The talk is based on a joint work in progress with Lino Amorim.

 
March 29 阮诗佺 (Shiquan Ruan), 厦门大学
Hall algebra approach to iquantum groups

Abstract: The iquantum group is a generalization of quantum groups, which arises from the construction of quantum symmetric pairs by Letzter. A striking breakthrough of the iquantum groups is the discovery of canonical basis by Bao-Wang. It has been found that most of the fundamental constructions of quantum groups admit generalizations in the setting of iquantum groups.
   In this talk, we will review several recent progress on Hall algebra realization of iquantum groups. We use derived Hall algebras of 1-periodic derived category to realize split iquantum groups. We introduce a new kind of algebra associated to a hereditary abelian category, and prove that it is isomorphic to the 1-periodic derived Hall algebra. We define a derived Hall algebra of the root category following Xiao-Xu. When applied to the Jordan quiver or elliptic curves, these algebras provide categorical realizations of the Drinfeld double of the ring of symmetric functions and also double affine Hecke algebras. This is a series work joint with Jiayi Chen, Yanan Lin, Ming Lu and Weiqiang Wang.

Categorification of collapsing subsurfaces with quadratic differentials

Abstract: We introduce a new class of triangulated categories, which are Verdier quotients between 3-Calabi-Yau categories from (decorated) marked surfaces, and show that its spaces of stability conditions can be identified with moduli spaces of framed quadratic differentials on Riemann surfaces with arbitrary order zeros and arbitrary higher order poles. This is a joint work with Anna Barbieri, Martin Möller and Jeonghoon So.
