Transfer maps and projection formulas

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Transfer maps and projection formulas are undoubtedly one of the key tools in the development and computation of (co)homology theories. In this note we develop an unified treatment of transfer maps and projection formulas in the non-commutative setting of dg categories. As an application, we obtain transfer maps and projection formulas in algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology, topological cyclic homology, and other scheme invariants.


A differential graded (dg) category over a base commutative ring \(k\) is a category enriched over complexes of \(k\)-modules (morphism sets are complexes) in such a way that composition fulfills the Leibniz rule: \(d(fg)=(df)g+(-1)^{\mathrm{deg}(f)}f(dg)\). Transfer maps and projection formulas are undoubtedly key tools in the development and computation of (co)homology theories. In this paper the author develops a unified treatment of transfer maps and projection formulas in the noncommutative setting of dg categories. As an application, the author obtains transfer maps and projection formulas in algebraic \(K\)-theory, cyclic homology, topological cyclic homology, and other scheme invariants.
