Abstract

Using a relative version of Auslander’s formula, we give a functorial approach to show that the

bounded derived category of every Artin algebra admits a categorical resolution. This, in particular, implies that the bounded derived categories of Artin algebras of finite global dimension determine bounded derived categories of all Artin algebras. Hence, this paper can be considered as a typical application of functor categories, introduced in representation theory by Auslander (1971), to categorical resolutions. Keywords MSC(2010)

Introduction

Let X be a singular algebraic variety of finite type over an algebraically closed field. A resolution of e → X, where X e is a non-singular singularities of X is a certain (proper and birational) morphism π : X b b e algebraic variety. As remarked in [12, p. 1, Line −4], the functor D (cohX) → D (cohX) induced by π enjoys some remarkable properties. e and X are related by two natural functors, The bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on X b b e known as the derived pushforward π∗ : D (cohX) → D (cohX) and the derived pullback functor π ∗ : e such that π ∗ is left adjoint to π∗ . Here Db (cohX) stands for the bounded Dperf (cohX) → Db (cohX), derived categories of coherent sheaves on X and Dperf (cohX) stands for the full subcategory of Db (cohX) consisting of perfect complexes. If X have rational singularities, then the composition π∗ ◦π ∗ is isomorphic to the identity functor [12, p. 2]. Based on this observation, as he mentioned, Kuznetsov [12, p. 2] introduced the notion of a categorical resolution of singularities. By the definition a categorical resolution of a triangulated category D is a e and a pair of functors π∗ and π ∗ satisfying almost similar conditions regular triangulated category D as above (see [12, Definition 3.2]). Recall that a triangulated category T is called regular if it is equivalent to an admissible subcategory of the bounded derived category of a smooth algebraic variety [12, Definition 3.1]. Note that, as remarked in [6, p. 7, Line −1], the pushforward functor π∗ identifies Db (cohX) with the e by the kernel of π∗ . Based on this observation, as they mentioned, Bondal and quotient of Db (cohX) * Corresponding author c Science China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 ⃝
