Metrics on triangulated categories and restrictions of (co)-$t$-structures
Abstract
This paper explores the restriction behavior of silting-induced -structures and co--structures on triangulated categories endowed with metrics. For compactly generated triangulated categories admitting small coproducts, silting subcategories of compact objects give rise to canonical -structures. We establish that a silting subcategory being contravariantly finite in the precompletion (or completion) is equivalent to the canonical -structure restricting to this precompletion (or completion). This result yields a purely categorical characterization of right coherent rings: a ring is right coherent if and only if the standard -structure on restricts to a -structure on . Furthermore, we show that the correspondences between silting objects, bounded (co)--structures, and simple-minded collections given by Koenig and Yang can be extended to the metric framework of triangulated categories, and still commute with mutation operations and preserve natural partial orders.
