Orlov's Theorem for dg-algebras
Michael K. Brown, Prashanth Sridhar
TL;DR
The paper extends Orlov's landmark relation between singularity categories and derived categories to the setting of differential graded algebras (dg-algebras) by introducing Gorenstein dg-algebras with a Gorenstein parameter a. It develops a noncommutative dg-projective geometry framework, defining D_gr^sg(A) and D_qgr(A) and proving a main theorem that yields explicit semiorthogonal decompositions and fully faithful embeddings depending on a (with a=0 giving an equivalence). The results provide new cases of the Lattice Conjecture in noncommutative Hodge theory for dg-categories and connect to derived categories of sheaves of dg-algebras on Proj(A^0) via a dg-version of Artin–Zhang's theory, including explicit Koszul and weight-graded examples. Overall, the work broadens the reach of Orlov-type equivalences to the dg-context, enabling duality, semiorthogonal decompositions, and topological K-theory consequences in a broader noncommutative geometric setting.
Abstract
A landmark theorem of Orlov relates the singularity category of a graded Gorenstein algebra to the derived category of the associated noncommutative projective scheme. We generalize this theorem to the setting of differential graded algebras. As an application, we obtain new cases of the Lattice Conjecture in noncommutative Hodge theory.
