Consider a Frobenius kernel G in a split semisimple algebraic group, in very good characteristic. We provide an analysis of support for the Drinfeld center Z(rep(G)) of the representation category for G, or equivalently for the representation categor
y of the Drinfeld double of kG. We show that thick ideals in the corresponding stable category are classified by cohomological support, and calculate the Balmer spectrum of the stable category of Z(rep(G)). We also construct a $pi$-point style rank variety for the Drinfeld double, identify $pi$-point support with cohomological support, and show that both support theories satisfy the tensor product property. Our results hold, more generally, for Drinfeld doubles of Frobenius kernels in any smooth algebraic group which admits a quasi-logarithm, such as a Borel subgroup in a split semisimple group in very good characteristic.
We provide a ribbon tensor equivalence between the representation category of small quantum SL(2), at parameter q=exp($pi$ i/p), and the representation category of the triplet vertex operator algebra at integral parameter p>1. We provide similar quan
tum group equivalences for representation categories associated to the Virasoro, and singlet vertex operator algebras at central charge c=1-6(p-1)^2/p. These results resolve a number of fundamental conjectures coming from studies of logarithmic CFTs in type A_1.
We use hypersurface support to classify thick (two-sided) ideals in the stable categories of representations for several families of finite-dimensional integrable Hopf algebras: bosonized quantum complete intersections, quantum Borels in type $A$, Dr
infeld doubles of height 1 Borels in finite characteristic, and rings of functions on finite group schemes over a perfect field. We then identify the prime ideal (Balmer) spectra for these stable categories. In the curious case of functions on a finite group scheme $G$, the spectrum of the category is identified not with the spectrum of cohomology, but with the quotient of the spectrum of cohomology by the adjoint action of the subgroup of connected components $pi_0(G)$ in $G$.
We introduce an infinite variant of hypersurface support for finite-dimensional, noncommutative complete intersections. By a noncommutative complete intersection we mean an algebra R which admits a smooth deformation $Qto R$ by a Noetherian algebra $
Q$ which is of finite global dimension. We show that hypersurface support defines a support theory for the big singularity category $Sing(R)$, and that the support of an object in $Sing(R)$ vanishes if and only if the object itself vanishes. Our work is inspired by Avramov and Buchweitz support theory for (commutative) local complete intersections. In a companion piece, we employ hypersurface support, and the results of the present paper, to classify thick ideals in stable categories for a number of families of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras.
We prove that the Drinfeld double of an arbitrary finite group scheme has finitely generated cohomology. That is to say, for G any finite group scheme, and D(G) the Drinfeld double of the group ring kG, we show that the self-extension algebra of the
trivial representation for D(G) is a finitely generated algebra, and that for each D(G)-representation V the extensions from the trivial representation to V form a finitely generated module over the aforementioned algebra. As a corollary, we find that all categories rep(G)*_M dual to rep(G) are of also of finite type (i.e. have finitely generated cohomology), and we provide a uniform bound on their Krull dimensions. This paper completes earlier work of E. M. Friedlander and the author.
We examine actions of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras on central simple division algebras in characteristic 0. (By a Hopf action we mean a Hopf module algebra structure.) In all examples considered, we show that the given Hopf algebra does a
dmit a faithful action on a central simple division algebra, and we construct such a division algebra. This is in contrast to earlier work of Etingof and Walton, in which it was shown that most pointed Hopf algebras do not admit faithful actions on fields. We consider all bosonizations of Nichols algebras of finite Cartan type, small quantum groups, generalized Taft algebras with non-nilpotent skew primitive generators, and an example of non-Cartan type.
We construct log-modular quantum groups at even order roots of unity, both as finite-dimensional ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras and as finite ribbon tensor categories, via a de-equivariantization procedure. The existence of such quantum groups had been p
redicted by certain conformal field theory considerations, but constructions had not appeared until recently. We show that our quantum groups can be identified with those of Creutzig-Gainutdinov-Runkel in type A_1, and Gainutdinov-Lentner-Ohrmann in arbitrary Dynkin type. We discuss conjectural relations with vertex operator algebras at (1,p)-central charge. For example, we explain how one can (conjecturally) employ known linear equivalences between the triplet vertex algebra and quantum sl_2, in conjunction with a natural PSL_2-action on quantum sl_2 provided by our de-equivariantization construction, in order to deduce linear equivalences between extended quantum groups, the singlet vertex operator algebra, and the (1,p)-Virasoro logarithmic minimal model. We assume some restrictions on the order of our root of unity outside of type A_1, which we intend to eliminate in a subsequent paper.
We study the cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of the stack quotient [X/G] of a smooth quasi-projective variety X by a finite group G. More specifically, we construct a G-equivariant sheaf of graded algebras on X whose G-invariant global secti
ons recover the associated graded algebra of the Hochschild cohomology of [X/G], under a natural filtration. This sheaf is an algebra over the polyvector fields T^{poly}_X on X, and is generated as a T^{poly}_X-algebra by the sum of the determinants det(N_{X^g}) of the normal bundles of the fixed loci in X. We employ our understanding of Hochschild cohomology to conclude that the analog of Kontsevichs formality theorem, for the cup product, does not hold for Deligne--Mumford stacks in general. We discuss relationships with orbifold cohomology, extending Ruans cohomological conjectures. This employs a trivialization of the determinants in the case of a symplectic group action on a symplectic variety X, which requires (for the cup product) a nontrivial normalization missing in previous literature.
We consider the finite generation property for cohomology of a finite tensor category C, which requires that the self-extension algebra of the unit Ext*_C(1,1) is a finitely generated algebra and that, for each object V in C, the graded extension gro
up Ext*_C(1,V) is a finitely generated module over the aforementioned algebra. We prove that this cohomological finiteness property is preserved under duality (with respect to exact module categories) and taking the Drinfeld center, under suitable restrictions on C. For example, the stated result holds when C is a braided tensor category of odd Frobenius-Perron dimension. By applying our general results, we obtain a number of new examples of finite tensor categories with finitely generated cohomology. In characteristic 0, we show that dynamical quantum groups at roots of unity have finitely generated cohomology. We also provide a new class of examples in finite characteristic which are constructed via infinitesimal group schemes.
We prove that the trace of the $n$th power of the antipode of a Hopf algebra with the Chevalley property is a gauge invariant, for each integer $n$. As a consequence, the order of the antipode, and its square, are invariant under Drinfeld twists. The
invariance of the order of the antipode is closely related to a question of Shimizu on the pivotal covers of finite tensor categories, which we affirmatively answer for representation categories of Hopf algebras with the Chevalley property.
