On exact functors for Heller triangulated categories dvi ps pdf

We show certain standard constructions of the theory of Verdier triangulated categories to be valid in the Heller triangulated framework as well; viz. Karoubi hull, exactness of adjoints, localisation. Updated 13.01.13.

On adjoint functors of the Heller operator dvi ps pdf

We consider the Heller operator Omega in an abelian category with enough projectives. A counterexample against Omega having a right adjoint is given. I have not found a counterexample against Omega having a left adjoint, only affirmative examples. Updated 16.12.11.

(jt. w. A. Canonaco) A sufficient criterion for homotopy cartesianess dvi ps pdf (Applied Categorical Structures 19 (3), 651-658, 2011)

Suppose given a commutative quadrangle in a Verdier triangulated category with an induced isomorphism on the horizontal cones. Suppose that the endomorphism ring of its initial or terminal corner satisfies a finiteness condition. Then it is homotopy cartesian (aka a distinguished weak square).

Nonisomorphic Verdier octahedra on the same base dvi ps pdf (J. Homotopy and Related Structures 4 (1), 7-38, 2009)

We show by an example that in a Verdier triangulated category, there may exist two mutually nonisomorphic Verdier octahedra containing the same commutative triangle. Moreover, this counterexample generalises to Heller triangulated categories. Updated 16.03.09.

Comparison of spectral sequences involving bifunctors dvi ps pdf (Documenta Math. 13, 677-737, 2008)

Suppose given functors A x A' -F-> B -G-> C between abelian categories, an object X in A and an object X' in A' such that certain conditions hold. We show that, E_1-terms exempt, the Grothendieck spectral sequence of the composition of F(X,-) and G evaluated at X' is isomorphic to the Grothendieck spectral sequence of the composition of F(-,X') and G evaluated at X. So instead of "resolving X' twice", we may just as well "resolve X twice". Updated 08.06.09.

Heller triangulated categories dvi ps pdf. Updated 14.09.17. (Homology, Homotopy and Applications, vol. 9 (2), 233-320, 2007)

Heller showed that triangulations (octahedra excepted) on stable categories of Frobenius categories are governed by the shift functor. We enlarge the framework so as to include octahedra. Updated 23.12.12.

On lifting stable diagrams in Frobenius categories dvi ps pdf (Homology, Homotopy and Applications, vol. 9 (1), 163-183, 2007)

Under a combinatorial condition on a poset D, we replace diagrams of shape D that stably commute by diagrams consisting of pure monomorphisms that commute.
(jt. w. H. Weber) Some additive galois cohomology rings dvi ps pdf (Communications in Algebra 33 (12), 4415-4455, 2005)

We calculate certain additive galois cohomology rings using twisted group rings.

(jt. w. E. Wirsing) On coefficient valuations of Eisenstein polynomials dvi ps pdf (Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux 17 (2005), 801-823)

We aim to describe the minimal polynomial of the canonical generator of the "p-part" of a cyclotomic extension.
(jt. w. A. Mathas) Elementary divisors of Specht modules dvi ps pdf (European J. Combinatorics 26 (6), p. 943-964, 2005)

We consider Gram matrices of Specht modules over the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. H. H. Andersen remarked that such a Gram matrix is not always diagonalizable. For hook partitions, it is, as we show by construction of a suitable basis. Moreover, we give some more examples in which it is not.
On representations of twisted group rings dvi ps pdf (J. Group Th. 7, p. 197-229, 2004)

Certain aspects of classical untwisted representation theory are generalized to the twisted case.
(jt. w. G. Nebe) Elementary divisors of Gram matrices of certain Specht modules dvi ps pdf (Comm. Alg. 31 (7), 2003. In the published version, several y's in Sections 1.2 and 1.4 have to be read as phi's.)

We determine the elementary divisors of Specht modules for two-row partitions (and some related ones). Moreover, for a general partition lambda at a prime p > n - lambda_1, we determine the composition factors of S_p^lambda and their distribution over the Jantzen subquotients.

(jt. w. H. Weber) On the cyclotomic Dedekind embedding and the cyclic Wedderburn embedding dvi ps pdf (Alg. Repr. Th. 7, p. 211-259, 2004)

We give a formula for the elementary divisors of the Dedekind embedding of the tensor product of two copies of a cyclotomic extension of Z_(p) into a direct product of copies of this extension, given by restriction of the rational isomorphism (being injective by Dedekind's Lemma). Similarly, we investigate the cyclic Wedderburn embedding.
A two-box-shift morphism between Specht modules dvi ps pdf

We give a formula for a modular morphism between Specht lattices, the target partition arising from the start partition by a downwards shift of two boxes situated at the bottom of a column.
Ties for the integral group ring of the symmetric group dvi ps pdf (version 10.09.15)

We aim to describe the integral group ring of the symmetric group as a subring of a product of matrix rings via the Wedderburn embedding. The key idea is that the required congruences of matrix entries, the so-called ties, result from modular morphisms between lattices over ZSn. Here, modular means modulo prime powers.
