Gerstenhaber and Schack ([GS]) developed a deformation theory of presheaves of algebras on small categories. We translate their cohomological description to sheaf cohomology. More precisely, we describe the deformation space of (admissible)…
We give an introduction to partially wrapped Fukaya categories of surfaces with orbifold singularities. Dissecting an orbifold surface $\mathbf S$ into polygons, certain dissections give rise to formal generators, inducing a triangulated…
We describe the E-infinity algebra structure on the complex of singular cochains of a topological space, in the context of sheaf theory. As a first application, for any algebraic variety we define a weight filtration compatible with its…
These lectures given in Montreal in Summer 1997 are mainly based on, and form a condensed survey of, the book by N. Chriss and V. Ginzburg: `Representation Theory and Complex Geometry', Birkhauser 1997. Various algebras arising naturally in…
In arXiv:0805.0157v5, the authors define a class of derived stacks, called "perfect stacks" and show that for this class the categories of quasi-coherent sheaves satisfy a categorical K\"unneth formula. Motivated to extend their results to…
In this paper we introduce a new formalism for $K$-theory, called squares $K$-theory. This formalism allows us to simultaneously generalize the usual three-term relation $[B] = [A] + [C]$ for an exact sequence $A \hookrightarrow B…
We propose here a transcendantal proof of the coherence of the higher direct images of a coherent sheaf by a proper morphism of algebraic varieties, which does not use Chow's lemma nor any projective method. The main tool here are…
We give a complete description of the category of smooth complex representations of the multiplicative group of a central simple algebra over a locally compact nonarchimedean local field. More precisely, for each inertial class in the…
From personal experience, I report about the development of sheaf representations for algebraic structures between the years 1966 and 1976. Starting with rings, lattice-ordered groups and rings it turns to general algebraic structures.
Compact metric spaces form an important class of metric spaces, but the category that they define lacks many important properties such as completeness and cocompleteness. In recent studies of "metric domain theory" and Stone-type dualities,…
In this note we present a work in progress whose main purpose is to establish a categorified version of sheaf theory. We present a notion of derived categorical sheaves, which is a categorified version of the notion of complexes of sheaves…
We construct Grothendieck topologies on the path category of a finite graph, examining both coarse and discrete cases that offer different perspectives on quiver representations. The coarse topology declares each vertex covered by all…
By means of several examples, we motivate that universal properties are the simplest way to solve a given mathematical problem, explaining in this way why they appear everywhere in mathematics. In particular, we present the co-universal…
We give a pedagogical survey of those aspects of the abstract representation theory of quantum groups which are related to the Tannaka-Krein reconstruction problem. We show that every concrete semisimple tensor *-category with conjugates is…
To any finite group G in SL_2(C), and each `t' in the center of the group algebra of G, we associate a category, Coh_t. It is defined as a suitable quotient of the category of graded modules over (a graded version of) the deformed…
We generalise the definition of a group algebra so that it makes sense for non-locally compact topological groups, in particular, we require that the representation theory of the group algebra is isomorphic (in the sense of Gelfand-Raikov)…
The theory of integral, or Fourier-Mukai, transforms between derived categories of sheaves is a well established tool in noncommutative algebraic geometry. General "representation theorems" identify all reasonable linear functors between…
In this short paper we combine the representability theorem introduced in [17, 18] with the theory of derived formal models introduced in [2] to prove the existence representability of the derived Hilbert space RHilb(X) for a separated…
A noncommutative projective variety is defined, after Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra A, where the category of coherent sheaves is the quotient qgr(A) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of…
The bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety is known to be equivalent to the triangulated category of perfect modules over a DG algebra. DG algebras, arising in this way, have to satisfy some compactness…
