Affine weakly regular tensor triangulated categories

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that the Balmer spectrum of a tensor triangulated category is homeomorphic to the Zariski spectrum of its graded central ring, provided the triangulated category is generated by its tensor unit and the graded central ring is noetherian and regular in a weak sense. There follows a classification of all thick subcategories, and the result extends to the compactly generated setting to yield a classification of all localizing subcategories as well as the analog of the telescope conjecture. This generalizes results of Shamir for commutative ring spectra.


Let \(\mathcal{K}\) be a tensor triangulated category with unit \(\mathbf{1}\) and let NEWLINE\[NEWLINE R = \mathrm{End}^*_{\mathcal{K}}(\mathbf{1}) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE be the endomorphism ring of \(\mathcal{K}\). The main result of this paper is that if \(\mathcal{K}\) is \textit{affine} and \textit{weakly regular}, then the canonical map from the \textit{P. Balmer} spectrum of \(\mathcal{K}\) [J. Reine Angew. Math. 588, 149--168 (2005; Zbl 1080.18007)] to the Zariski spectrum of \(R\) is a homeomorphism.NEWLINENEWLINEThe term affine means that \(\mathcal{K}\) is generated as a thick subcategory by the unit \(\mathbf{1}\). The term weakly regular means that \(R\) is a graded notherian ring concentrated in even degrees and, for each homogeneous prime ideal \(\mathfrak{p}\) of \(R\), the maximal ideal of the local ring \(R_{\mathfrak{p}}\) is generated by a finite regular sequence of homogeneous non-zero-divisors.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors provide interesting examples in the case of dg modules over a commutative dg algebra and, more generally, modules over a commutative \(S\)-algebra in the sense of \textit{A. D. Elmendorf} et al. [Rings, modules, and algebras in stable homotopy theory. With an appendix by M. Cole. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (1997; Zbl 0894.55001)]. In addition, the authors provide examples showing that the hypotheses of affine and weakly regular are necessary in general.
