Locally well generated homotopy categories of complexes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that the homotopy category of complexes K(B) over any finitely accessible additive category B is locally well generated. That is, any localizing subcategory L in K(B) which is generated by a set is well generated in the sense of Neeman. We also show that K(B) itself being well generated is equivalent to B being pure semisimple, a concept which naturally generalizes right pure semisimplicity of a ring R for B = Mod-R.


The author shows that the homotopy category of complexes \(\mathbf{K}(\mathcal{B})\) over any finitely accessible additive category \(\mathcal{B}\) is locally well generated. That is, any localizing subcategory \(\mathcal{L}\) in \(\mathbf{K}(\mathcal{B})\) which is generated by a set is well generated in the sense of Neeman. He also shows that \(\mathbf{K}(\mathcal{B})\) itself being well generated is equivalent to \(\mathcal{B}\) being pure semisimple, a concept which naturally generalizes right pure semisimplicity of a ring \(R\) for \(\mathcal{B}= \text{}\mathcal M\)od-
