Verdier duality

In mathematics, Verdier duality is a cohomological duality in algebraic topology that generalizes Poincaré duality for manifolds. Verdier duality was introduced in 1965 by as an analog for locally compact topological spaces of Alexander Grothendieck's theory of Poincaré duality in étale cohomology for schemes in algebraic geometry. It is thus (together with the said étale theory and for example Grothendieck's coherent duality) one instance of Grothendieck's six operations formalism. Verdier duality generalises the classical Poincaré duality of manifolds in two directions: it applies to continuous maps from one space to another (reducing to the classical case for the unique map from a manifold to a one-point space), and it applies to spaces that fail to be manifolds due to the presence of singularities. It is commonly encountered when studying constructible or perverse sheaves. Verdier duality states that (subject to suitable finiteness conditions discussed below) certain are actually adjoint functors. There are two versions. Global Verdier duality states that for a continuous map of locally compact Hausdorff spaces, the derived functor of the direct image with compact (or proper) supports has a right adjoint in the of sheaves, in other words, for (complexes of) sheaves (of abelian groups) on and on we have Local Verdier duality states that in the derived category of sheaves on Y. It is important to note that the distinction between the global and local versions is that the former relates morphisms between complexes of sheaves in the derived categories, whereas the latter relates internal Hom-complexes and so can be evaluated locally. Taking global sections of both sides in the local statement gives the global Verdier duality. These results hold subject to the compactly supported direct image functor having finite cohomological dimension. This is the case if the there is a bound such that the compactly supported cohomology vanishes for all fibres (where ) and .

Coherent duality

In mathematics, coherent duality is any of a number of generalisations of Serre duality, applying to coherent sheaves, in algebraic geometry and complex manifold theory, as well as some aspects of commutative algebra that are part of the 'local' theory. The historical roots of the theory lie in the idea of the adjoint linear system of a linear system of divisors in classical algebraic geometry. This was re-expressed, with the advent of sheaf theory, in a way that made an analogy with Poincaré duality more apparent.

D-module

En mathématiques, un D-module est un module sur un anneau D d'opérateurs différentiels. L'intérêt principal des D-modules réside en son utilisation dans l'étude d'équations aux dérivées partielles. La théorie générale des D-modules nécessite une variété algébrique lisse X définie sur un corps K algébriquement clos de caractéristique nulle, par exemple K = C. Le faisceau des opérateurs différentiels DX est défini comme la OX-algèbre générée par les champs de vecteurs sur X, interprétés comme des dérivations.

Six operations

In mathematics, Grothendieck's six operations, named after Alexander Grothendieck, is a formalism in homological algebra, also known as the six-functor formalism. It originally sprang from the relations in étale cohomology that arise from a morphism of schemes f : X → Y. The basic insight was that many of the elementary facts relating cohomology on X and Y were formal consequences of a small number of axioms. These axioms hold in many cases completely unrelated to the original context, and therefore the formal consequences also hold.

BPS invariants from p-adic integrals

Dimitri Stelio Wyss, Francesca Carocci, Giulio Orecchia

We define p-adic BPS or pBPS invariants for moduli spaces M-beta,M-chi of one-dimensional sheaves on del Pezzo and K3 surfaces by means of integration over a non-archimedean local field F. Our definition relies on a canonical measure mu can on the F-analyt ...
