Janina Letz: Generation time for biexact functors and Koszul objects in triangulated categories

One way to study triangulated categories is through finite building. An object X finitely builds an object Y, if Y can be obtained from X by taking cones, suspensions and retracts. The X-level measures the number of cones required in this process; this can be thought of as the generation time. I will explain the behaviour of level with respect to tensor products and other biexact functors for enhanced triangulated categories. I will further present applications to the level of Koszul objects.

Kent Vashaw: A Chinese remainder theorem and Carlson theorem for monoidal triangulated categories

Carlson's connectedness theorem for cohomological support varieties is a fundamental result which states that the support variety for an indecomposable module of a finite group is connected. In this talk, we will discuss a generalization, where it is proved that the Balmer support for an arbitrary monoidal triangulated category satisfies the analogous property. This is shown by proving a version of the Chinese remainder theorem in this context, that is, giving a decomposition for a Verdier quotient of a monoidal triangulated category by an intersection of coprime thick tensor ideals.

Milen Yakimov: Non-commutative tensor triangular geometry and finite tensor categories

Describing the thick ideals of a monoidal triangulated category is a key component of the analysis of the category. We will show how this can be done by non-commutative tensor triangular geometry (NTTG), thus extending the celebrated Balmer’s theorem from the symmetric case. We will then use NTTG to analyse the stable categories of finite tensor categories, which play an important role in representation theory, mathematical physics and quantum computing. We will present general results linking this approach to the traditional one through cohomological support, based on a notion of categorical centers of cohomology rings of monoidal triangulated categories.
