\(t\)-structures with Grothendieck hearts via functor categories (Q6080078)

Let \({\mathcal D}\) be a triangulated category with arbitrary coproducts. Let \({\mathbf t}=({\mathcal U}, {\mathcal V})\) be a t-structure whose heart is denoted \({\mathcal H}={\mathcal U}\cap{\mathcal V}\). It is well-known that the heart is an abelian category, in which short exact sequences are exact triangles with all three terms in \({\mathcal H}\). Moreover if we start with a category of modules, or more general with a Grothendieck category, the heart of the standard t-structure in its derived category is equivalent to the initial category. Knowing this the following question appears naturally: Identify t-structures for which the heart enjoys better properties, e. g. to be AB5 or even Grothendieck. This is the main question addressed by the paper under review. The approach used in the paper stresses the interplay between the triangulated structure of \({\mathcal D}\) and the abelian structure of various functor categories defined on subcategories of \({\mathcal D}\) with the values in some abelian categories, e. g. the category of all abelian groups, the category of (finitely presented) modules over some rings (usually with several objects) etc. In the literature there is a well developed theory of purity in compactly generated triangulated categories. This theory is extended in the paper under review for standard well generated triangulated categories, that is those categories which are equivalent to the Verdier quotient of a compactly generated category modulo a localizing subcategory generated by a set (and not a proper class) of objects. With the hypothesis that \(\mathcal D\) satisfies Brown representability theorem, one of the main results characterizes in terms of purity the situation when the heart \(\mathcal H\) is AB5 and the associated homology functor \(H^0_{\mathbf t}:{\mathcal D}\to{\mathcal H}\) preserves coproducts. If moreover, \(\mathcal D\) is standard well generated, then the AB5 property can be upgraded to Grothendieck. The paper contains the study of other various nice properties of the t-structure \({\mathbf t}=({\mathcal U}, {\mathcal V})\), namely when the coaisle \(\mathcal V\) is definable, when \(\mathbf t\) has a right adjacent co-t-structure, when the heart \(\mathcal H\) is a finitely presented Grothendieck category, or when \(\mathbf t\) is a cosilting t-structure.
