Categorical absorption for hereditary orders

Thilo Baumann

TL;DR

This work develops a noncommutative analogue of deformation absorption of singularities for hereditary orders on curves. By treating a hereditary $\mathcal{O}_C$-order with ramification at a point as a smoothing over a base curve and analyzing its ramified fiber via $\Lambda_r$-type simple modules, the authors construct a $C$-linear semiorthogonal decomposition of $\mathsf{D}^{\text{b}}(C,\mathscr{A})$ that isolates a smooth, base-proper component equivalent to $\mathsf{D}^{\text{b}}(C)$. The decomposition is organized by a sequence of $\mathbb{P}^{\infty,2}$-objects whose pushforwards induce exceptional pieces, yielding a deformation-absorption structure and a $2r$-periodicity under Serre duality. The paper also connects the noncommutative picture to smooth root-stack dictionaries, providing a coherent stacks--orders correspondence and extending noncommutative base-change results to $\mathsf{D}^{\text{b}}(X,\mathscr{A})$. Overall, it offers a new, base-linear framework for understanding the derived categories of hereditary orders through singularity absorption and root-stack geometry.

Abstract

We show that Kuznetsov--Shinder's notion of deformation absorption of singularities leads to a new approach for studying the bounded derived category of a hereditary order on a curve. The starting point is a hereditary order which can be interpreted as a smoothing of the finite-dimensional algebra obtained from the restriction to a ramified point. We construct a triangulated subcategory inside the derived category of this finite-dimensional algebra which provides a deformation absorption of singularities. This allows us to obtain a semiorthogonal decomposition of the bounded derived category of the hereditary order, which is in addition linear over the base.

Key Result

Theorem 1

The sequence $(S_1,\ldots, S_{r-1})$ of simple $\mathscr{A}(o)$-modules is semiorthogonal in $\mathsf{D}^{\mathsf{b}}(\mathscr{A}(o))$ and absorbs singularities, i.e. the triangulated subcategory is admissible and both of its complements ${}^\perp \mathsf{S}$ and $\mathsf{S}^\perp$ are smooth and proper.
