Scalar Extension of Abelian and Tannakian Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce and develop the notion of scalar extension for abelian categories. Given a field extension F /F , to every F -linear abelian category A satisfying a suitable finiteness condition we associate an F -linear abelian category A ⊗F F ′ and an exact F -linear functor t : A → A ⊗F F . This functor is universal among F -linear right exact functors with target an F -linear abelian category. We discuss various basic properties of this concept, among others compatibilities with multilinear endofunctors such as tensor products, and the permanence of favourable properties of the functors and categories involved. We obtain the notion of scalar extension for Tannakian categories, which allows us to deduce consequences for the algebraic monodromy groups of Tannakian categories.

Lefschetz Motives and the Tate Conjecture
A Lefschetz class on a smooth projective variety is an element of the Q-algebra generated by divisor classes. We show that it is possible to define Q-linear Tannakian categories of abelian motives using the Lefschetz classes as correspondences, and we compute the fundamental groups of the categories. As an application, we prove that the Hodge conjecture for complex abelian varieties of CM-type ...

متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملQuotients of Tannakian Categories
We classify the “quotients” of a tannakian category in which the objects of a tannakian subcategory become trivial, and we examine the properties of such quotient categories.
متن کاملTensor envelopes of regular categories
We extend the calculus of relations to embed a regular category A into a family of pseudo-abelian tensor categories T (A, δ) depending on a degree function δ. Assume that all objects have only finitely many subobjects. Then our results are as follows: 1. Let N be the maximal proper tensor ideal of T (A, δ). We show that T (A, δ)/N is semisimple provided that A is exact and Mal’cev. Thereby, we ...
