The Additivity of Traces in Triangulated Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
We explain a fundamental additivity theorem for Euler characteristics and generalized trace maps in triangulated categories. The proof depends on a refined axiomatization of symmetric monoidal categories with a compatible triangulation. The refinement consists of several new axioms relating products and distinguished triangles. The axioms hold in the examples and shed light on generalized homology and cohomology theories.

On Determinant Functors and K-theory
In this paper we introduce a new approach to determinant functors which allows us to extend Deligne’s determinant functors for exact categories to Waldhausen categories, (strongly) triangulated categories, and derivators. We construct universal determinant functors in all cases by original methods which are interesting even for the known cases. Moreover, we show that the target of each universa...

The additivity theorem for comlicial dérivateurs is proved. Also, to any exact category in the sense of Quillen a K-theory space is associated. This K-theory is shown to satisfy the additivity, approximation and resolution theorems. CONTENTS 1. Introduzione 1 2. Chain complexes, homotopies, derived categories 3 2.1.

متن کاملCLUSTER ALGEBRAS AND CLUSTER CATEGORIES
These are notes from introductory survey lectures given at the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM), Teheran, in 2008 and 2010. We present the definition and the fundamental properties of Fomin-Zelevinsky’s cluster algebras. Then, we introduce quiver representations and show how they can be used to construct cluster variables, which are the canonical generator...
متن کاملAN INTRODUCTION TO HIGHER CLUSTER CATEGORIES
In this survey, we give an overview over some aspects of the set of tilting objects in an $m-$cluster category, with focus on those properties which are valid for all $m geq 1$. We focus on the following three combinatorial aspects: modeling the set of tilting objects using arcs in certain polygons, the generalized assicahedra of Fomin and Reading, and colored quiver mutation.
متن کاملThe Linearity of Traces in Monoidal Categories and Bicategories
We show that in any symmetric monoidal category, if a weight for colimits is absolute, then the resulting colimit of any diagram of dualizable objects is again dualizable. Moreover, in this case, if an endomorphism of the colimit is induced by an endomorphism of the diagram, then its trace can be calculated as a linear combination of traces on the objects in the diagram. The formal nature of th...
