Serre functors and local duality for affine quotients

Algebraic Geometry 2026-05-25 v2

Abstract

The purpose of this short note is to study Serre functors of categories of quasicoherent sheaves on stacks of the form Y=SpecA/G\mathcal{Y} = \mathrm{Spec} A/G where GG is a reductive group acting on SpecA\mathrm{Spec} A with a unique closed orbit. We show that the Serre functor is given by tensoring with the local cohomology of ωY\omega_\mathcal{Y} at the unique closed orbit. Using this description, we develop analogues of the Matlis and local duality theorems for local rings.
