4. A co-t-structure induced by a compact simply connected corigid object

The aim of this section is to give a proof of the following theorem, which is the first half of Theorem 2.4.

0MUP

Theorem 4.1. Let 𝒯 be a triangulated category with set indexed coproducts. Suppose S is a compact simply connected corigid object of 𝒯. Further assume that {Ξ£i⁒S|iβˆˆβ„€} is a generating set in 𝒯. Then the following forms a non-degenerate co-t-structure on 𝒯:

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

Note that ℬ=SβŸ‚βˆž.

In order to prove this we need a lemma analogous to Lemma 3.3. This is an immediate consequence of the next lemma.

Lemma 4.2. Let S be a compact object of a triangulated category 𝒯 and suppose we have a sequence of objects and morphisms

X0⟢α0X1⟢α1X2⟢α2X3⟢α3β‹―

such that Hom⁒(S,Ξ±n):Hom⁒(S,Xn)β†’Hom⁒(S,Xn+1) is an isomorphism for each nβ©Ύ0. Then Hom⁒(S,X0)β‰…Hom⁒(S,hocolim⁒(Xn)).

Proof: It is well-known that the filtered colimit, colim⁒Hom⁒(S,Xn), is isomorphic to Hom⁒(S,X0). The assertion now follows by Lemma 3.5. β–‘

Lemma 4.3. Under the assumptions of Proposition 3.6 we have that

Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒μ):Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒M)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒MΒ―)

is an isomorphism for i<1.

Proof: In Lemma 3.3, Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒μ):Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒Mk)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒Mk+1) is an isomorphism for i<1. Now apply Lemma 4.2. β–‘

Proof of Theorem 4.1: Conditions (0) and (1) of the definition of a co-t-structure are clear.

In order to show (2) assume XβˆˆΞ£βˆ’1⁒A and Yβˆˆβ„¬. Recall that ℬ=SβŸ‚βˆž. By Proposition 3.6 there exists an SβŸ‚βˆž-preenvelope ΞΌ:Xβ†’XΒ―, that is, we have a surjection of Hom spaces

Hom⁒(XΒ―,Y)β† Hom⁒(X,Y).

It is therefore sufficient to show Hom⁒(X¯,Y)=0.

We have the following isomorphism of Hom-spaces and trivial Hom-spaces:

Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X) β‰… Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒XΒ―)⁒ for all ⁒i<1⁒ (LemmaΒ 4.3)
Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X) = 0⁒ for all ⁒i<1⁒ (sinceΒ XβˆˆΞ£βˆ’1β’π’œ)
Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒XΒ―) = 0⁒ for all ⁒i>0⁒ (sinceΒ XΒ―βˆˆβ„¬).

It follows that Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒XΒ―)=0 for all iβˆˆβ„€. The assumption that {Ξ£i⁒S|iβˆˆβ„€} is a generating set in 𝒯 implies that XΒ―=0. Thus Hom⁒(XΒ―,Y)=0 and we see that Hom⁒(X,Y)=0. Hence Hom⁒(Ξ£βˆ’1β’π’œ,ℬ)=0.

We next show condition (3). Suppose X is an object of 𝒯. By Proposition 3.6 there is an SβŸ‚βˆž-preenvelope ΞΌ:Xβ†’XΒ―. Write B=XΒ― and extend the morphism ΞΌ:Xβ†’B to a distinguished triangle:

(4.1) Ξ£βˆ’1⁒Aβ†’Xβ†’Bβ†’A.

We claim that Hom⁒(S,Σi⁒A)=0 for i<0. Consider the following long exact sequence obtained from (4.1):

Hom⁒(S,Ξ£iβˆ’1⁒A)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒B)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒A).

Now, by Lemma 4.3, we see that Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒X)β†’Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒B) is an isomorphism for all i<1. Hence Hom⁒(S,Ξ£i⁒A)=0 for all i<0 and Aβˆˆπ’œ. Hence the distinguished triangle in (4.1) above gives us the required distinguished triangle.

It is clear that ∩nβˆˆβ„€Ξ£nβ’π’œ=∩nβˆˆβ„€Ξ£n⁒ℬ={0} because {Ξ£i⁒S|iβˆˆβ„€} is a generating set for 𝒯. Hence (π’œ,ℬ) is a non-degenerate co-t-structure on 𝒯. β–‘

Remark 4.4. In [7], a co-t-structure (π’œ,ℬ) is called right adjacent to a t-structure (𝒳,𝒴) if π’œ=𝒴. By [4], the full subcategory π’œ of 𝒯 occurs in a t-structure (𝒳,π’œ) on 𝒯, where

𝒳=π’œβŸ‚:={Xβˆˆπ’―|Hom⁒(X,A)=0⁒ for all ⁒Aβˆˆπ’œ}.

Therefore, the co-t-structure on 𝒯 obtained in Theorem 4.1 is right adjacent to the t-structure (𝒳,π’œ).
