Stratification of triangulated categories

The aim of these lectures is to explain how derived categories arising in algebra and geometry can be stratified. A prototypical result is the Hopkins-Neeman classification of localising subcategories of the derived category of a commutative noetherian ring. This will be discussed in some detail. A basic tool are local cohomology functors for triangulated categories which are defined with respect to a central ring action. This leads to a notion of cohomological support which is inspired by the study of support varieties in modular representation theory. Further concepts to be disussed are: local-global principles, tensor triangulated structures, homotopy categories of injectives, and exceptional sequences. A useful reference is: D.J. Benson, S.B. Iyengar, H. Krause, Representations of finite groups: Local cohomology and support, Oberwolfach Seminars 43, Birkhäuser Verlag, 2012, 111 pp.

Stability conditions and Donaldson-Thomas invariants

  • (Topic 1)  Bridgeland stability conditions

    The notion of stability conditions on triangulated categories was introduced by Bridgeland in 2002, as a mathematical framework of Douglas’s Pi-stability. I will give an introduction to Bridgeland stability conditions and explain how they are related to mirror symmetry and birational geometry.

  • (Topic 2 ) Donaldson-Thomas invariants.

    The Donaldson-Thomas invariants are invariants counting stable coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. They were introduced by Thomas in 1998, and later generalized by Joyce-Song, Kontsevich-Soibelman. I will give an introduction to Donaldson-Thomas invariants and explain some results and conjectures on them. I will explain the role of Bridgeland stability conditions for these problems.
