Frobenius-Schur indicators and exponents of spherical categories

We obtain two formulae for the higher Frobenius-Schur indicators: one for a spherical fusion category in terms of the twist of its center and the other one for a modular tensor category in terms of its twist. The first one is a categorical generalization of an analogous result by Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu for Hopf algebras, and the second one extends Bantay's 2nd indicator formula for a conformal field theory to higher degrees. These formulae imply the sequence of higher indicators of an object in these categories is periodic. We define the notion of Frobenius-Schur (FS-)exponent of a pivotal category to be the global period of all these sequences of higher indicators, and we prove that the FS-exponent of a spherical fusion category is equal to the order of the twist of its center. Consequently, the FS-exponent of a spherical fusion category is a multiple of its exponent, in the sense of Etingof, by a factor not greater than 2. As applications of these results, we prove that the exponent and the dimension of a semisimple quasi-Hopf algebra H have the same prime divisors, which answers two questions of Etingof and Gelaki affirmatively for quasi-Hopf algebras. Moreover, we prove that the FS-exponent of H divides dim⁴(H). In addition, if H is a group-theoretic quasi-Hopf algebra, the FS-exponent of H divides dim²(H), and this upper bound is shown to be tight.     

A special class of tensor categories initiated by inverse braid monoids

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a wide tensor category which is a special class of a tensor category initiated by the inverse braid monoids recently investigated by Easdown and Lavers [The Inverse Braid Monoid, Adv. in Math. 186 (2004) 438-455].The inverse braid monoidsIB_n is an inverse monoid which behaves as the symmetric inverse semigroup so that the braid group B_n can be regarded as the braids acting in the symmetric group. In this paper, the structure of inverse braid monoids is explained by using the language of categories. A partial algebra category, which is a subcategory of the representative category of a bialgebra, is given as an example of wide tensor categories. In addition, some elementary properties of wide tensor categories are given. The main result is to show that for every strongly wide tensor category C, a strict wide tensor category C^str can be constructed and is wide tensor equivalent to C with a wide tensor equivalence F.As a generalization of the universality property of the braid category B, we also illustrate a wide tensor category through the discussion on the universality of the inverse braid category IB (see Theorem 3.3, 3.6 and Proposition 3.7).     

The near centre of Doi-Hopf module categoryA M (H) C

It is known that any strict tensor category (C⊗I) determines a braided tensor categoryZ(C), the centre ofC. WhenA is a finite dimension Hopf algebra, Drinfel’d has proved thatZ(_A M) is equivalent to _D(A) M as a braided tensor category, whereA ^M is the left A-module category andD(A) is the Drinfel’d double ofA. For a braided tensor category, the braidC _U,v is a natural isomorphism for any pair of object (U,V) in. If weakening the natural isomorphism of the braidC _U,V to a natural transformation, thenC _U,V is a prebraid and the category with a prebraid is called a prebraided tensor category. Similarly it can be proved that any strict tensor category determines a prebraided tensor category Z∼ (C), the near centre of. An interesting prebraided tensor structure of the Yetter-Drinfel’d category _C*A YD ^C*A given, whereC # A is the smash product bialgebra ofC andA. And it is proved that the near centre of Doi-Hopf module _A M(H) ^C is equivalent to the Yetter-Drinfel’ d _C*A YD ^C*A as prebraided tensor categories. As corollaries, the prebraided tensor structures of the Yetter-Drinfel’d category _A YD ^A , the centres of module category and comodule category are given.     

Endomorphism category of an abelian category

Let 𝒞 be an additive category. Denote by End(𝒞) the endomorphism category of 𝒞, i.e., the objects in End(𝒞) are pairs (C,c) with C∈𝒞,c∈End_𝒞(C), and a morphism f:(C,c)→(D,d) is a morphism f∈Hom_𝒞(C,D) satisfying fc?=?df. This paper is devoted to an approach of the general theory of the endomorphism category of an arbitrary additive category. It is proved that the endomorphism category of an abelian category is again abelian with an induced structure without nontrivial projective or injective objects. Furthermore, the endomorphism category of any nontrivial abelian category is nonsemisimple and of infinite representation type. As an application, we show that two unital rings are Morita equivalent if and only if the endomorphism categories of their module categories are equivalent.     

Triangulated Quotient Categories

A notion of mutation of subcategories in a right triangulated category is defined in this article. When (𝒵, 𝒵) is a 𝒟-mutation pair in a right triangulated category 𝒞, the quotient category 𝒵/𝒟 carries naturally a right triangulated structure. Moreover, if the right triangulated category satisfies some reasonable conditions, then the right triangulated quotient category 𝒵/𝒟 becomes a triangulated category. When 𝒞 is triangulated, our result unifies the constructions of the quotient triangulated categories by Iyama-Yoshino and by Jørgensen, respectively.     

Mutation Pairs in Abelian Categories

A notion of mutation pairs of subcategories in an abelian category is defined in this article. For an extension closed subcategory 𝒵 and a rigid subcategory 𝒟 ? 𝒵, the subfactor category 𝒵/[𝒟] is also a triangulated category whenever (𝒵, 𝒵) forms a 𝒟-mutation pair. Moreover, if 𝒟 and 𝒵 satisfy certain conditions in modΛ, the category of finitely generated Λ-modules over an artin algebra Λ, the triangulated category 𝒵/[𝒟] has a Serre functor.

Cartesian Closed Topological Categories and Tensor Products

The projective tensor product in a category of topological R-modules (where R is a topological ring) can be defined in Top, the category of topological spaces, by the same universal property used to define the tensor product of R-modules in Set. In this article, we extend this definition to an arbitrary topological category X and study how the Cartesian closedness of X is related to the monoidal closedness of the category of R-module objects in X.

Tensor Products in Categories of Topological Spaces

In this paper symmetric monoidal closed structures on coreflective subcategories of the category of (Hausdorff) topological spaces are studied. We describe all such structures on the category of (Hausdorff) pseudoradial spaces and some of its subcategories and give an example of a coreflective subcategory of the category of Hausdorff topological spaces admitting a proper class of symmetric monoidal closed structures.

The Category of Directed Systems in a Category

We present two related categorical constructions. Given a category C, we construct a category C^[d], the category of directed systems in C. C embeds into C^[d], and if C has enough colimits, then C is monadic over C^[d]. Also, if E,M is a factorization structure for C, then C^[d] has a related factorization structure E_d M_d such that if E consists entirely of monic arrows, then so does E_d and the E_d-quotient poset of an object A is naturally the poset of directed downsets of the E-quotient poset of A. Similarly, if M consists entirely of monicarrows, then so does M_d and the M_d-subobject poset of an object A is naturally the poset of directed downsets of the M-subobject poset. C^[d] has completeness and cocompleteness properties at least as good as those of C, and it is abelian if C is. Dualization gives the other construction: a category C^[i], the category of inverse systems in C, into which C also embeds and which satisfies similar properties, except that directed downsets in the E-quotient and M-subobject posets are replaced by directed upsets.     

Algebraic logoi

We introduce normal cores, as well as the more general action cores, in the context of a semi-abelian category, and further generalise those to split extension cores in the context of a homological category. We prove that, if the category is moreover well-powered with (small) joins, then the existence of split extension cores is equivalent to the condition that the change-of-base functors in the fibration of points are geometric. We call a finitely complete category that satisfies this condition an algebraic logos. We give examples of such categories, compare them with algebraically coherent ones, and study equivalent conditions as well as stability under common categorical operations.     

Gorenstein categories and Tate cohomology on projective schemes

We study Gorenstein categories. We show that such a category has Tate cohomological functors and Avramov–Martsinkovsky exact sequences connecting the Gorenstein relative, the absolute and the Tate cohomological functors. We show that such a category has what Hovey calls an injective model structure and also a projective model structure in case the category has enough projectives. As examples we show that if X is a locally Gorenstein projective scheme then the category ??????(X) of quasi‐coherent sheaves on X is such a category and so has these features.

Cleft Comodule Categories

We define crossed product categories and we show that they are equivalent with cleft comodule categories. We also prove that a comodule category is cleft if and only if it is Hopf–Galois and has a normal basis. As an application we show that the category of Hopf modules over a cleft linear category and the category of modules over the coinvariant subcategory are equivalent.

Grothendieck Groups and Tilting Objects

Let C be a connected Noetherian hereditary Abelian category with a Serre functor over an algebraically closed field k, with finite-dimensional homomorphism and extension spaces. Using the classification of such categories from our 1999 preprint, we prove that if C has some object of infinite length, then the Grothendieck group of C is finitely generated if and only if C has a tilting object.     

Subfactor Categories of Triangulated Categories

Let 𝒳 ? 𝒜 be subcategories of a triangulated category 𝒯, and 𝒳 a functorially finite subcategory of 𝒜. If 𝒜 has the properties that any 𝒳-monomorphism of 𝒜 has a cone and any 𝒳-epimorphism has a cocone, then the subfactor category 𝒜/[𝒳] forms a pretriangulated category in the sense of [4 Beligiannis , A. , Reiten , I. ( 2007 ). Homological and Homotopical Aspects of Torsion Theories . Memoirs of the AMS 883 : 426 – 454 . [Google Scholar]]. Moreover, the above pretriangulated category 𝒜/[𝒳] with 𝒯(𝒳, 𝒳[1]) = 0 becomes a triangulated category if and only if (𝒜, 𝒜) forms an 𝒳-mutation pair and 𝒜 is closed under extensions.     

Singularity categories with respect to Ding projective modules

We introduce the singularity category with respect to Ding projective modules, D_(dpsg)~b(R),as the Verdier quotient of Ding derived category D_(DP)~b(R) by triangulated subcategory K~b(DP), and give some triangle equivalences. Assume DP is precovering. We show that D_(DP)~b(R)≌K~(-,dpb)(DP)and D_(dpsg)~b(R)≌D_(Ddefect)~b(R). We prove that each R-module is of finite Ding projective dimension if and only if D_(dpsg)~b(R) = 0.

Finally, we show that a family σ = {σα,β: Hα Hβ→ k}α,β∈πof k-linear maps is a coquasitriangular structure of a crossed weak Hopf π-algebra H if and only if the category of crossed left π-H-comodules over H is a braided monoidal category with braiding defined by σ.
