Brown representability does not come for free

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We exhibit a triangulated category T having both products and coproducts, and a triangulated subcategory S of T which is both localizing and colocalizing, for which neither a Bousfield localization nor a colocalization exists. It follows that neither the category S nor its dual satisfy Brown representability. Our example involves an abelian category whose derived category does not have small Hom-sets.


From the authors' summary: ``We exhibit a triangulated category \(\mathcal T\) having both products and coproducts, and a triangulated subcategory \({\mathcal S} \subset {\mathcal T}\) which is both localizing and colocalizing, for which neither a Bousfield localization nor a colocalization exists. It follows that neither the category \(\mathcal S\) nor its dual satisfy Brown representability.
