Local study of stable module categories via tensor triangulated geometry

Algebraic Topology 2016-10-21 v2

Abstract

We investigate the particular properties of the stable category of modules over a finite dimensional cocommutative graded connected Hopf algebra AA, via tensor-triangulated geometry. This study requires some mild conditions on the Hopf algebra AA under consideration (satisfied for example by all finite sub-Hopf-algebras of the modulo 22 Steenrod algebra). In particular, we study some particular covers of its spectrum of prime ideals Spc(A)\mathrm{Spc}(A), which are related to Margolis' Work. We then exploit the existence of Margolis' Postnikov towers in this situation to show that the localization at an open subset UU of Spc(A)\mathrm{Spc}(A), for various UU, assembles in an \infty-stack. Finally, we turn to applications in the study of Picard groups of Hopf algebras and localizations in the stable categories of modules.
