2.4. A co-t-structure obtained from a corigid object

In this paper we shall look at the structure which is induced by an object behaving like a cochain DGA. The subsequent sections of this paper are devoted to proving the following theorem, which is the cochain analogue, or dual, of Theorem 2.3.

Theorem 2.4. Let 𝒯 be a triangulated category with set indexed coproducts. Suppose S is a compact simply connected corigid object of 𝒯 and assume that {Ξ£i⁒S|iβˆˆβ„€} is a generating set for 𝒯. Then the following forms a non-degenerate co-t-structure on 𝒯:

π’œ = {Xβˆˆπ’―|Hom𝒯⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X)=0⁒ for ⁒i<0},
ℬ = {Xβˆˆπ’―|Hom𝒯⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X)=0⁒ for ⁒i>0}.

Moreover, its coheart π’ž=π’œβˆ©β„¬ is an abelian subcategory of 𝒯, and the functor

Hom⁒(S,βˆ’):π’žβ†’Mod⁒(End⁒(S)op)

is an equivalence of categories.

Theorem 2.4 is the natural generalisation of Example 2.2 in the same way that Theorem 2.3 is the natural generalisation of Example 2.1.

In Section 3 we shall show that given any object M of 𝒯, there exists a morphism ΞΌ:Mβ†’MΒ― with M¯∈SβŸ‚βˆž such that, given any other object N∈SβŸ‚βˆž and a morphism Mβ†’N, then this morphism factors through ΞΌ:Mβ†’MΒ―,

MΞ±MΒ―βˆƒN.

However, the factorisation is not necessarily unique. Thus we obtain an SβŸ‚βˆž-preenvelope. Note that in Theorem 2.4 above, ℬ=SβŸ‚βˆž. In Section 4 we show that this SβŸ‚βˆž-preenvelope induces a non-degenerate co-t-structure on 𝒯, while Section 5 is dedicated to proving that the coheart of this non-degenerate co-t-structure is equivalent to the module category Mod⁒(End⁒(S)op), and hence abelian.

We now make precise what we mean by an object of a triangulated category behaving like a cochain DGA. Following the definition of an n-rigid object in a triangulated category of Iyama and Yoshino in [12], we make the following definitions of an n-corigid object and a corigid object.

Definition 2.5. An object S of 𝒯 will be called n-corigid if we have

Hom⁒(Σi⁒S,S)=0⁒ for ⁒0<i<n.

An object S of 𝒯 will be called corigid if we have

Hom⁒(Σi⁒S,S)=0⁒ for ⁒i>0.

Note that a DGA R is a cochain DGA if and only if it is a corigid object in its derived category π’Ÿβ’(R).

Definition 2.6. Let S be an object of 𝒯. We shall call S a simply connected corigid object of 𝒯 if it satisfies the following assumptions:

(1) S is corigid, that is, Hom⁒(Σi⁒S,S)=0 for i>0;

(2) Hom⁒(S,Σ⁒S)=0;

(3) End⁒(S) is a division ring.

Note that a DGA R is a simply connected cochain DGA if and only if it is a simply connected corigid object in its derived category π’Ÿβ’(R).

Remark 2.7. For technical reasons, in the cochain analogue of Theorem 2.3 we must also insist that S is simply connected in the sense of Definition 2.6. This is due to the lack of symmetry in the theory of chain and cochain DGAs mentioned in the introduction: one is able to construct a theory for chain DGAs, but in order to construct a viable dual theory for cochain DGAs one has to introduce the assumption of simply connectedness; see, for example, [2].
