$\infty$-categorical group quotients via skew group algebras

Representation Theory 2026-04-09 v2 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We relate group quotients of dg-categories and linear stable \infty-categories. Given a group acting on a dg-algebra, we prove that the skew group dg-algebra is Morita equivalent to the dg-categorical homotopy group quotient. We also treat the cases of group actions on dg-categories, with corresponding skew group dg-categories, and of orbit dg-categories. Finally, we describe a version of the skew group algebra in the setting of ring spectra and relate it with \infty-categorical group quotients.
