Categorical action filtrations via localization and the growth as a symplectic invariant (Q6167393)

This paper aims to develop a categorical theory of action filtrations recovering the Rech-length filtration and pole-order fibration when specialized to wrapped Fukaya categories and derived categories of coherent sheaves, respectively. This approach is based on the notion of a \textit{smooth categorical compactification} [\textit{A. I. Efimov}, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 22, No. 9, 2879--2942 (2020; Zbl 1478.14010)]. An immediate consequence of the existence of such a theory is: Corollary. Suppose that \((M,\mathfrak{f})\) and \((X,D)\) are homologically mirror pairs and set \(U=X\backslash D\). Let \(K,L\in\mathcal{W}(M)\) be objects and let \(\mathcal{F} _{K},\mathcal{F}_{L}\) be their images in \(D^{b}\mathrm{Coh}(U)\). Then the growth of the Rech-length filtration on \(HW(K,L)\) and the growth of the pole-order filtration on \(\mathrm{RHom}_{U}(\mathcal{F}_{K},\mathcal{F}_{L})\) aymptotically coincide. The principal result of the paper goes as follows. Theorem. Let \(\phi:\mathcal{B}\rightarrow\mathcal{C}\) be a smooth categorical compactification. Given a pair of objects \(K,L\in\mathrm{Tw}^{\pi}\mathcal{C} \), the graded vector space \(H(\mathcal{C})(K,L)\) admits a filtration such that the associated growth function \(\gamma _{K,L}:=\gamma_{H}(\mathcal{C})(K,L)\) is well-defined up to scaling equivalence, and independent of \(\mathcal{B}\) up to zigzag of smooth categorical compactifications. The technical heart of the paper is a method for computing these growth invariants in terms of the growth of certain colimits of (bi)modules. The main applications are: (1) A quantitative refinement of homological mirror symmetry, which relates the growth of the Rech-length filtration on the symplectic geometry side with the growth of filtrations on the algebraic geometry side defined by the order of the pole at infinity; (2) A proof that the Rech-length growth of symplectic cohomology and wrapped Floer cohomology on a Weinstein manifold are at most exponential; (3) Lower bounds for the entropy and polynomial entropy of certain natural endofunctors acting on Fukaya categories.
