Annihilators and decompositions of singularity categories

Commutative Algebra 2023-06-26 v1

Abstract

Given any commutative Noetherian ring RR and an element xx in RR, we consider the full subcategory \C(x)\C(x) of its singularity category consisting of objects for which the morphism that is given by the multiplication by xx is zero. Our main observation is that we can establish a relation between \C(x),\C(y)\C(x), \C(y) and \C(xy)\C(xy) for any two ring elements xx and yy. Utilizing this observation, we obtain a decomposition of the singularity category and consequently an upper bound on the dimension of the singularity category.
