Abstract

We study the spectrum of closed subcategories in a quasi-scheme, i.e. a Grothendieck category XX. The closed subcategories are the direct analogs of closed subschemes in the commutative case, in the sense that when XX is the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a quasi-projective scheme SS, then the closed subschemes of SS correspond bijectively to the closed subcategories of XX. Many interesting quasi-schemes, such as the noncommutative projective scheme Qgr-BB = Gr-BB/Tors-BB associated to a graded algebra BB, arise as quotient categories of simpler abelian categories. In this paper we will show how to describe the closed subcategories of any quotient category X/YX/Y in terms of closed subcategories of XX with special properties, when XX is a category with a set of compact projective generators.
