Sufficient conditions for an ideal $\mathcal I$ in $R\Mod$ to be covering are proved. This allows to obtain an alternative proof of the existence of phantom covers of modules. Our approach is inspired by an extension of the standard…

In this paper, we introduce and study relative phantom morphisms in extriangulated categories defined by Nakaoka and Palu. Then using their properties, we show that if $(\C,\E,\s)$ is an extriangulated category with enough injective objects…

It is proved that if G is a finite group, then the order of G is a proper upper bound for the phantom number of G. More specifically, if k is a field whose characteristic divides the order of G, and $\Phi$ is the ideal of phantom morphisms…

A phantom category is an admissible subcategory with vanishing Grothendieck group of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety. The goal of this paper is to study the abstract situation when such a…

Let $Y$ be an algebraic variety, $\mathcal{F}$ a locally free sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_Y$-modules, and $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{F})$ the $\mathcal{O}_Y$-algebra $\operatorname{Sym}^\bullet \mathcal{F}$. In this paper we study local properties of…

We study a notion of total acyclicity for complexes of flat sheaves over a scheme. It is Zariski-local - i.e. it can be verified on any open affine covering of the scheme - and it agrees, in their setting, with the notion studied by Murfet…

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 $X\to Y$…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $S \subseteq R$ be a multiplicative subset. We introduce and study the concept of $S$-purity based on the notion of $S$-strongly flat modules. The class of $S$-pure injective modules will be studied. We…

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…

We prove that the universal cover of a normal complex algebraic variety admitting a faithful complex representation of its fundamental group is an analytic Zariski open subset of a holomorphically convex complex space. This is a non-proper…

We begin by showing that in a triangulated category, specifying a projective class is equivalent to specifying an ideal I of morphisms with certain properties, and that if I has these properties, then so does each of its powers. We show how…

This paper is about the local geometry of a real surfaces. It introduces machinery for studying families of subsets which are determined by conditions which are similar to base conditions, but also involve positivity/non-negativity. The…

In this paper, we consider whether parameter test ideals, conductors, $F$-ideals, and trace ideals are contained in an ideal whose quotient ring has finite phantom projective dimension (for example, ideals generated by a system of…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Frobenius category and $\omega$ the full subcategory consisting of projective objects. The relations between special precovering (resp., precovering) ideals in $\mathcal{A}$ and special precovering (resp.,…

There are two fundamental obstructions to representing noncommutative rings via sheaves. First, there is no subcanonical coverage on the opposite of the category of rings that includes all covering families in the big Zariski site. Second,…

The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of characteristic $p > 0$. Among all proper ideals $\mathfrak{a}\subseteq R$ with a fixed order of vanishing $\text{ord}_{\mathfrak{m}}(\mathfrak{a})$, we classify the ideals for which the…

Let X be a normal connected complex algebraic variety equipped with a semisimple complex representation of its fundamental group. Then, under a maximality assumption, we prove that the covering space of X associated to the kernel of the…

It is proved that a finite intersection of special preenveloping ideals in an exact category $({\mathcal A}; {\mathcal E})$ is a special preenveloping ideal. Dually, a finite intersection of special precovering ideals is a special…

In the article Categorical Construction of Schemes, arXiv:2511.03433 we gave a natural definition of ordinary schemes based on the fact that the localization of a ring in a maximal ideal is a local representation of the corresponding…
