In this paper we give a construction of phantom categories, i.e. admissible triangulated subcategories in bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties that have trivial Hochschild homology and trivial…
A minifold is a smooth projective $n$-dimensional variety such that its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $\D^b(X)$ admits a semi-orthogonal decomposition into an exceptional collection of $n+1$ exceptional objects. In this paper…
We observe that there exists an associative finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $A$ of finite global dimension, such that the bounded derived category $D^b(A)$ of finite dimensional $A$-modules admits an admissible subcategory…
We study the question of whether the vanishing of additive invariants characterizes phantomness for smooth proper dg categories admitting geometric realizations. More precisely, let $X$ be a smooth proper variety over a field $k$, and let…
Following Krah's method, we construct new examples of phantom categories as semiorthogonal components of the derived categories of two types of rational surfaces: the blowup of the plane at 11 points in general position, and the blowup of…
We give sufficient conditions to ensure that the ideal $\Phi(\mathcal E)$ of $\mathcal E$-phantom maps in a locally $\lambda$-presentable exact category $(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{E})$ is (special) (pre)covering ideal, where $\mathcal E$ is an…
A phantom map is a potentially nontrivial map which induces the zero map on every homology theory and on homotopy groups. Zabrodsky has shown that in the presence of particular finiteness conditions on spaces $X$ and $Y$ every map $X\to Y$…
We consider the structure of the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 and describe a strange relation between derived categories of different threefolds. In the Appendix we discuss how the ring of…
We examine the localizing subcategories of the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the projective line over a field. We provide a complete classification of all such subcategories which arise as the kernel of a cohomological…
Since categories are graphs with additional "structure", one should start from fuzzy graphs in order to define a theory of fuzzy categories. Thus is makes sense to introduce categories whose morphisms are associated with a plausibility…
Our principal goal in this overview is to explain and motivate the concept of a phantom in the representation theory of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$. In particular, we exhibit the key role of phantoms towards understanding how a…
For a quasiprojective variety S, we define a category CHM(S) of pure Chow motives over S. Assuming conjectures of Grothendieck and Murre, we show that the decomposition theorem holds in CHM(S). As a consequence, the intersection complex of…
We introduce a new method to construct a Grothendieck category from a given colored quiver. This is a variant of the construction used to prove that every partially ordered set arises as the atom spectrum of a Grothendieck category. Using…
In this paper we define the triangulated category of motives over a simplicial scheme. The morphisms between the Tate objects in this category compute the motivic cohomology of the underlying scheme. In the last section we consider the…
We study admissible subcategories of the derived categories of smooth noncommutative (nc) curves as classified by Reiten-van den Bergh. We prove that any admissible subcategory of the derived category of a smooth nc curve is again the…
In these notes, an introduction to derived categories and derived functors is given. The main focus is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.
Johannes Krah showed that the blowup of $\mathbf{P}^{2}$ in $10$ general points admits a phantom subcategory. We construct three types of objects in such a phantom: a strong generator, projections of skyscraper sheaves, and a family of…
We construct and study a triangulated category of motives with modulus $\mathbf{MDM}_{\mathrm{gm}}^{\mathrm{eff}}$ over a field $k$ that extends Voevodsky's category $\mathbf{DM}_{\mathrm{gm}}^{\mathrm{eff}}$ in such a way as to encompass…
Let $n$ be a non-negative integer. {Motivated by the universal property of the stable category of Frobenius categories, the authors in \cite{bfss} extended the stabilization of Frobenius categories to $n$-Frobenius categories, and called it…
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. Although it can be treated purely as an algebraic subject, it is inherently topological in nature: the…
