New Methods in Tensor Triangular Geometry

张量三角几何，这个研究项目的主题，桥梁一类专业领域的数学，包括稳定同伦理论，代数几何，模表示理论，motivic理论和非交换拓扑。 张量三角几何有望作为一个总体理论，促进技术和方法从一个专业领域到相邻领域的换位，提供这些领域之间的概念统一。此外，它在数学中的影响力稳步扩大。例如，通过张量三角几何，现代代数几何中的代数拓扑学在模表示论中有了新的应用，它回答了关于素数幂阶有限群的表示与任意一般有限群的表示之间关系的长期问题。 本研究项目旨在拓宽和加深对张量三角几何领域的理解。本项目研究张量三角范畴的几何，因为它们出现在数学的几个领域。张量三角化范畴现在在代数几何、模表示论、稳定同伦论及其等变版本、动机论、等变非交换拓扑等领域中普遍使用。本项目旨在发展张量三角几何的新方法，以便从统一的角度研究这些不同的化身。近年来，童话扩展取得了很大进展（即，可分和交换的扩展）的张量三角范畴和有关理论的下降。本项目建立在这些和相关的结果，旨在应用下降连接代数几何的投影支持品种与有限群的模表示理论。这些技术的一些应用可以在没有张量三角技术的情况下具体说明。例如，在研究内平凡模时，研究者引入了“弱同态”。“看来，非常相同的弱同态连接到p-子群的布朗单纯复形上的复线丛。进一步研究它们在代数几何中的作用是当前项目的一部分。该项目的另一个主题是计算张量三角范畴的“谱”。这种计算的一种新的通用方法是通过过滤张量三角分类，并通过étale扩展来理解连续的层。这种方法的一个早期原型已被用于计算有限群的等变稳定同伦范畴的谱。该项目旨在将这些想法转化为新的例子。

Tensor triangular geometry, the theme of this research project, bridges a large class of specialized areas of mathematics, including stable homotopy theory, algebraic geometry, modular representation theory, motivic theory, and noncommutative topology. Tensor triangular geometry promises to serve as an overarching theory that facilitates the transposition of techniques and methods from one specialized area to neighboring ones, providing conceptual unification among those fields. Moreover, it displays steadily expanding influence in mathematics. For instance, via tensor triangular geometry, the subject of étale topology in modern algebraic geometry now bears new applications in modular representation theory, where it provides answers to longstanding problems about the relations between representations of finite groups of order a power of a prime number and representations of arbitrary general finite groups. This research project aims to broaden and deepen understanding in the field of tensor triangular geometry.This project studies the geometry of tensor-triangulated categories as they appear in several areas of mathematics. Tensor-triangulated categories are now in common use in algebraic geometry, in modular representation theory, stable homotopy theory, and its equivariant versions, in motivic theory, in equivariant noncommutative topology, and beyond. This project aims to develop new methods in tensor triangular geometry, in order to study those many different incarnations from a unified perspective. In recent years, much progress has been made in étale extensions (i.e., separable and commutative extensions) of tensor-triangulated categories and on the related theory of descent. The present project builds on these and related results and aims to apply descent to connect the algebraic geometry of projective support varieties with the modular representation theory of finite groups. Some applications of these techniques can be spelled out in concrete terms without tensor-triangular technicalities. For instance, in work on endotrivial modules the investigator introduced "weak homomorphisms." It appears that the very same weak homomorphisms are connected to complex line bundles on the Brown simplicial complex of p-subgroups. Further investigation of their role in algebraic geometry is part of the current project. Another general theme of the project is the computation of the "spectrum" of a tensor-triangulated category. A new general approach for such computations comes through filtering tensor-triangulated categories and understanding the successive strata via étale extensions. An early prototype of this method has been applied to compute the spectrum of the equivariant stable homotopy category of a finite group. The project aims to transport those ideas to new examples.
