25.3 - Sergio Pavon (Univ. Padova): Torsion-simple objects
Abstract: Torsion pairs in abelian categories provide decompositions of objects, in a torsion subobject and a torsion-free quotient. Given a family F of torsion pairs, certain objects happen to be always either torsion or torsion-free with respect to each pair in F; we call them the torsion-simple objects with respect to F. Particular instances of this notion have appeared in the literature: to give one example, the semistable objects of a stability function Z are the torsion-simples with respect to a chain of torsion pairs associated to Z. In this talk we will be interested in the objects which are torsion-simple with respect to the family of all torsion pairs, in various settings (over finite-dimensional algebras, over commutative noetherian rings, in some Grothendieck hearts). This talk is partly based on arxiv:2312.04384 .

18.3 - Asmae Ben Yassine (MFF UK): Approximations and Vopěnka's Principles.
Abstract: We will consider general approximation classes of modules and investigate if, and how, dualizations are possible assuming additional closure properties for these classes. While certain results can be straightforwardly dualized by employing dual arguments, other require the use of large cardinal principles such as Vopěnka's Principles. Joint work with Jan Trlifaj.

11.3 - Christoph Winges (Univ. Regensburg): Algebraic K-theory and the theorem of the heart.
Abstract: I will explain how the language of stable infinity-categories allows for a description of both connective and non-connective algebraic K-theory purely in terms of a universal property. After a discussion of Barwick’s theorem of the heart for connective algebraic K-theory, I will outline a disproof of its non-connective counterpart. This rests on showing that every spectrum can be obtained as the non-connective algebraic K-theory of some stable infinity-category. Joint work with Maxime Ramzi and Vladimir Sosnilo.

26.2 - Mikhail Gorsky (Univ. Vienna): Hall algebras and functions on categories.
Abstract: Degenerations of quantized enveloping algebras can be studied via quantum degree cones. In my work with Xin Fang, we interpreted such cones from the perspective of relative homological algebra and functor categories. In this setting, degenerations of quantized enveloping algebras and more general Hall algebras are induced by certain functions on objects in exact categories, which we call valuations, which give points in quantum degree cones. Chuang and Lazarev recently introduced another class of functions on objects in categories: rank functions on triangulated categories, generalizing, in particular, Sylvester rank functions and mass functions of Bridgeland stability conditions. In my talk, I will present some parts of my recent work with Teresa Conde, Frederik Marks, and Alexandra Zvonareva on the functorial approach to rank functions and will try to explain a connection between these frameworks. If time permits, I will explain potential applications of these methods to (quantum) cluster algebras.

29.1 - Adam-Christiaan van Roosmalen (Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool Univ., China): A noncommutative Kodaira vanishing theorem.
Abstract: The Kodaira vanishing theorem is a key result of complex geometry, providing the vanishing of higher cohomology groups of positive line bundles. In this talk, we discuss a possible framework to lift the Kodaira vanishing to a noncommutative geometric setting, coming from quantum flag manifolds. This talk is based on joint work with Réamonn Ó Buachalla and Jan Šťovíček.

15.1 - Alexey Ananyevskiy (LMU Munich): Combing a hedgehog over a field (part I and part II)
Abstract: A classical result in differential topology says that there are no nowhere vanishing vector fields on a 2-sphere. One may ask a similar question in algebraic geometry: does the tangent bundle to a sphere given by the equation x^2+y^2+z^2=1 over some field k have a nowhere vanishing section? Or more generally, when does the tangent bundle on an affine quadratic q=1 with q being a homogeneous degree 2 polynomial have a nowhere vanishing section? We give an essentially full answer to this question assuming that the quadric q=1 has a rational point. In particular, the 2-sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=1 over a field k has a nowhere vanishing vector field if and only if -1 is a sum of 4 squares in k. The proof uses a mixture of results from the motivic homotopy theory, Chow-Witt rings and some constructions from the theory of quadratic forms. This is a joint work with Marc Levine.

8.1. Jan Trlifaj (MFF UK): Shelah's Categoricity Conjecture for deconstructible classes of modules
Abstract: We prove the analog of Shelah's Categoricity Conjecture for all deconstructible classes of modules. More precisely, we prove the following theorem: Let R be a ring, \kappa \geq \card R an infinite cardinal, and D be a \kappa^+-deconstructible class of R-modules. Assume that D is \lambda-categorical for some cardinal \lambda \geq (2^\kappa)^+. Then D is \lambda-categorical for each cardinal \lambda \geq (2^\kappa)^+.

18.12. Jan Šaroch (MFF UK): Deconstructible abstract elementary classes of modules
Abstract: We will show that if A is a deconstructible class of modules closed under direct summands, and A fits in an abstract elementary class (A,<) such that < refines direct summands, then A is closed under arbitrary direct limits. If time permits, we will also briefly discuss a version of Shelah’s Categoricity Conjecture for deconstructible classes of modules.

4.12. Chris Parker (Univ. Bielefeld): Bounded t-structures, finitistic dimensions, and singularity categories of triangulated categories
Abstract: We will talk about recent joint work on a triangulated categorical generalisation of Neeman's theorem on the existence of bounded t-structures on the derived category of perfect complexes, which solved a bold conjecture by Antieau, Gepner, and Heller. In particular, under mild conditions, we show how the existence of a bounded t-structure on the compact objects of a triangulated category T implies that the singularity category of T vanishes. To achieve this, we show that certain t-structures can be lifted from a triangulated category to its completion, as well as introduce the notion of finitistic dimension for triangulated categories. This work is joint with Rudradip Biswas, Kabeer Manali Rahul, Hongxing Chen, and Junhua Zheng.

27.11. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Flatness, direct limits, countability, and accessibility
Abstract: A very general category-theoretic principle, going back to an unpublished 1977 preprint of Friedrich Ulmer, tells that various category-theoretic constructions preserve the class of all \kappa-accessible categories with colimits of \lambda-indexed chains, for any regular cardinal \kappa and a smaller infinite cardinal \lambda < \kappa. Various versions of countable Govorov-Lazard theorem for flat modules, complexes, sheaves, comodules etc. can be easily obtained from this as particular cases. For example, over a countably coherent ring R, all modules of flat dimension n are direct limits of countably presented modules of flat dimension n, and all flatly coresolved modules are direct limits of countably presented flatly coresolved modules. More generally, given a sequence of classes of finitely presented R-modules S_n, n\in Z, all R-modules admitting a two-sided resolution C with the term C^n belonging to lim S_n are direct limits of countably presented modules admitting such resolutions.

20.11. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): Gorenstein acyclic complexes and finitistic dimensions
Abstract: Given a two-sided noetherian ring A with a dualizing complex, we show that the big finitistic dimension of A is finite if and only if every bounded below Gorenstein-projective acyclic cochain complex of Gorenstein-projective A-modules is contractible. If A is further assumed to be an Artin algebra, we also prove a Gorenstein variant of a theorem of Rickard, showing its finitistic dimension is finite in case its Gorenstein-injective derived category is generated by the Gorenstein-injective modules.

13.11. Souvik Dey (MFF UK): On some aspects of building modules effectively
Abstract: Given a commutative Noetherian ring, and a positive integer n, when can one build n-th syzygy of every finitely generated module from a single module by taking finite direct sums, direct summands and finitely many extensions? This is a version of the "strong generation" problem. In this talk, I will present some of the ways one can make precise sense of this and relate this to some notion of strong generation in bounded derived category, and also to some properties of annihilator ideal of Ext and Tor of modules coming from certain subcategories. We will see how these properties are inherited from similar properties of the irreducible components of the ring. Time permitting, we will also present a local-to-global principle for certain related notion of ghost index of maps. Most of the new recent results are joint with Pat Lank and Ryo Takahashi.

30.10. Sebastian Opper (MFF UK): Derived Picard groups of graded gentle algebras and integration of Hochschild classes
Abstract: The talk is based on my ongoing project concerning the derived Picard groups of graded gentle algebras, or equivalently, partially wrapped Fukaya categories of surfaces in the sense of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich. After recalling some previous results in the ungraded case, I will explain the structure of these groups and the main ingredients of its proof. As such, we discuss a projection map from the derived Picard group to the mapping class group and mapping class group actions on these categories. The last ingredient is the use of exponential maps to determine the kernel of the projection map. I will explain how they allow us to integrate certain Hochschild classes of any A-infinity-algebra over a field of characteristic 0, to elements in its derived Picard group.

23.10. Jordan Williamson (MFF UK): Purity in tensor-triangular geometry
Abstract: Tensor-triangular geometry provides a broad framework to study tensor-triangulated categories arising in nature. Just as any commutative ring has its Zariski spectrum, any tensor-triangulated category has a space called its Balmer spectrum which is the universal support theory classifying thick tensor ideals. There is also a closely related space called the homological spectrum which in all known cases is homeomorphic to the Balmer spectrum. I will explain joint work with Isaac Bird in which we build a bridge between tensor-triangular geometry and pure homological algebra, by showing that the homological spectrum can be constructed from the pure and definable structure on the triangulated category. I'll explain an application of this to functoriality in tensor-triangular geometry.

16.10. Isaac Bird (MFF UK): Coherent and definable functors for triangulated categories
Abstract: In this talk, I shall introduce coherent and definable functors for triangulated categories. The former are the purity preserving functors into finitely accessible categories with products, and generalise their namesakes as introduced by Krause. It will be shown that the restricted Yoneda embedding is the universal coherent functor. I will then introduce definable functors between triangulated categories, which will be shown to be those which preserve the pure structure. Their properties will be discussed and examples given. Time permitting, I shall give some applications to representation theory. This is based on joint work with Jordan Williamson.

9.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Countable Govorov-Lazard theorem for quasi-coherent sheaves
Abstrakt: Let X be a quasi-compact semi-separated scheme, or more generally, a stack admitting a flat affine covering by an affine scheme. I will explain how to prove that every flat quasi-coherent sheaf on X is an \aleph_1-direct limit of locally countably presented flat quasi-coherent sheaves. The argument can be spelled out in the generality of comodules over corings over noncommutative rings. Time permitting, I may also explain how to deduce the quasi-coherent cotorsion periodicity theorem for quasi-compact semi-separated schemes and some stacks. This talk is partly based on a joint work with Jan Stovicek.

2.10. Jun Maillard (MFF UK): Mackey 2-functors: a 2-categorical approach to equivariant categories
Abstrakt: In the study of representations of finite groups, the functors of restriction to a subgroup and (co)induction from a subgroup play a major role. The formalism of Mackey 2-functors abstract over these notions of restriction and induction, and let us apply techniques originating from modular representation theory to other equivariant contexts. I will present this formalism, provide examples and give results that extend to abstract Mackey 2-functors. Additionally, Mackey 2-functors can be seen as categorification of group invariants such as group cohomology and, as such, similar formulas hold for them.

26.9. Francesco Genovese (Univ. Milano Statale): Uniqueness of dg-lifts via restriction to injective objects
Abstract: Triangulated categories, and in particular derived categories, are now a classical tool in homological algebra, with many relevant applications to algebraic geometry - typically, with derived categories of sheaves on a given scheme. It is well-known that, from a theoretical point of view, triangulated categories are far from being well-behaved: there is no sensible way to define a "triangulated category of triangulated functors between triangulated categories" or a tensor product. Problems arise essentially from the failure of functoriality of mapping cones. The solution to this issue is to consider enhancements of triangulated categories: namely, viewing them as shadows of more complicated structures - for instance, differential graded (dg) categories or stable \infty-categories. If we have such enhancements, another natural question we might ask is whether triangulated functors between triangulated categories can also be upgraded to "higher" functors between such enhancements. In the geometric framework, this problem is essentially the same as the problem of existence and uniqueness of Fourier-Mukai kernels of triangulated functors between derived categories of sheaves on schemes.
In this talk, I will show a new uniqueness result for lifts of triangulated functors coming from algebraic geometry: the derived pushforward and the derived pullback (of a flat morphism between suitable schemes). The strategy is completely algebraic-categorical and involves reconstructing such lifts uniquely from their restrictions to the subcategories of injective objects.

12.6. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): The homomorphism removal and repackaging construction
Abstract: This research grows out of an attempt to understand the Koenig-Kuelshammer-Ovsienko construction in the theory of quasi-hereditary algebras. Let k be a field and E be a k-linear exact category with a fixed family of nonzero objects F_p such that every object of E is a finitely iterated extension of some of the objects F_p. Then there is a coalgebra C over k and an exact functor from the abelian category of finite-dimensional C-comodules into E taking the irreducible (one-dimensional) C-comodules to the respective objects F_p and inducing an isomorphism of the spaces Ext^n between the irreducible C-comodules and the spaces Ext^n over F_p in E (for n > 0). So the passage from E to C-comod removes all the nontrivial homomorphisms between the objects F_p, while leaving the Ext spaces unchanged. The removed homomorphisms can then be repackaged into a semialgebra S over C so that the whole exact category E is recovered as the category of S-semimodules induced from finite-dimensional C-comodules.

22.5. Giovanna Le Gros (Univ. Padova): Generalisation of a Theorem of Bass over commutative rings

22.5. Michal Cizek (Univ. Western Ontario): Profinite graphs, automorphisms and completions
Abstract: There is an important interplay between group theory and graph theory. Using notions such as covering spaces or free actions of groups on graphs, one can describe group theoretical notions such a free and amalgamated product using graph structures. That is the foundation for Bass-Serre theory developed in the 1970s. While the covering spaces of graphs are a great tool for describing abstract groups, they are not so effective for Galois/Profinite groups, which are topological by their nature as a projective limit of finite groups. Thus, to apply the ideas from the Bass-Serre theory to profinite groups we require graphs that are topological as well. Such graphs are called profinite graphs and were extensively studied by Ribes and Zaleskii.
In the first part of this talk, we will introduce profinite graphs as projective limits of finite graphs, and introduce some basic notions on them such as their topology, connectivity and automorphisms. In the second part we will focus on an application of profinite graphs, which shows that profinite groups can be represented as a group of autohomeomorphisms of a compact space, solving a conjecture made by Sidney Morris and Karl Hoffmann. Finally, in the third part we will briefly introduce some initial ideas related to completing abstract graphs into profinite ones.
This lecture is meant for a broad audience. Its goal is to introduce the idea of adding a profinite structure on graphs and will provide some informal motivation of key notions. My research has been supported by The University of Western Ontario and Western Academy for Advanced Research.

15.5. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): Acyclic complexes and finitistic dimensions
Abstract: Over any ring, any bounded above acyclic cochain complex of projectives is null-homotopic. Similarly, any bounded below acyclic cochain complex of injectives is null-homotopic. In this talk we consider dual problems, and relate them to the finitistic dimension of the ring.

15.5. Francesco Genovese (Univ. Milano): Deforming t-structures
Abstract: A guiding principle of non-commutative algebraic geometry is that geometric objects (i.e. rings and schemes) are replaced by categories of modules/sheaves thereof. In order to keep track of the homological information, we actually take derived categories of such modules/sheaves. Under this point of view, we are now interested in understanding typical geometric concepts directly in this categorical framework. A key example is given by deformations.
In this talk, I will report on joint work with W. Lowen and M. Van den Bergh, where we attempt to define and study deformations categorically, in the framework of (enhanced) triangulated categories with a t-structure. This will also shed light on Hochschild cohomology.

24.4. Matouš Menčík (MFF UK): Inverse limits in module categories.

17.4. Amnon Yekutieli (Ben Gurion Univ.): A DG Approach to the Cotangent Complex
Abstract: Let $B/A$ be a pair of commutative rings. We propose a DG (differential graded) approach to the cotangent complex $L_{B/A}$. Using a commutative semi-free DG ring resolution of B relative to A, we construct a complex of $B$-modules $LCot_{B/A}$. This construction works more generally for a pair $B/A$ of commutative DG rings.
In the talk we will explain all these concepts. Then we will discuss the important properties of the DG $B$-module $LCot_{B/A}$. It time permits, we'll outline some of the proofs.
It is conjectured that for a pair of rings $B/A$, our $LCot_{B/A}$ coincides with the usual cotangent complex $L_{B/A}$, which is constructed by simplicial methods. We shall also relate $LCot_{B/A}$ to modern homotopical versions of the cotangent complex.

3.4.Matt Booth (Univ. Lancaster): Global Koszul duality
Abstract: Koszul duality is the name given to various duality phenomena between dg algebras and dg coalgebras involving the bar and cobar constructions. These results are usually expressed as the existence of model structures on the above categories for which the bar-cobar adjunction is a Quillen equivalence. Koszul duality can be found across many different parts of mathematics - for example, the fact that noncommutative formal moduli problems are controlled by associative algebras is the Koszul duality between dg algebras and conilpotent dg coalgebras. More familiar may be the related correspondence between formal moduli problems and dg Lie algebras, which is commutative-Lie Koszul duality.
I'll survey the above ideas and results, before turning to the global setting, where one wants to work with coalgebras that are not necessarily conilpotent - geometrically, this corresponds to using all finite-dimensional algebras as bases over which to deform, not just the Artinian local ones. I'll talk about the existence of model > structures for global Koszul duality, for which the (extended) bar-cobar adjunction is a Quillen equivalence. New here is that one has to use a new notion of weak equivalences for both algebras and coalgebras, defined in a more symmetric manner than those for usual conilpotent Koszul duality.
This is joint work with Andrey Lazarev, hopefully to appear on the ArXiv soon.

27.3. Jan Šaroch (MFF UK): Enochs' Conjecture for cotorsion pairs and more
Abstract: The Enochs Conjecture asserts that each covering class of modules (over any fixed ring) has to be closed under direct limits. We will prove the conjecture for the left hand-class of any cotorsion pair generated by (a class of) \aleph_n-presented modules for a fixed n < \omega. We also show that it is consistent with ZFC that the Enochs Conjecture holds for all classes of the form Filt(S) where S is a set of modules.

20.3. Sean Cox (VCU, Richmond): How robustly can you predict the future?
Abstract: Of all the strange consequences of the Axiom of Choice, one of my favorites is the Hardin-Taylor 2008 result that there is a "predictor" such that for every function $f$ from the reals to the reals---even nowhere continuous $f$---the predictor applied to $f \restriction (-\infty,t)$ correctly predicts $f(t)$ for *almost* every $t \in R$. They asked how robust such a predictor could be, with respect to distortions in the time (input) axis; more precisely, for which subgroups $H$ of Homeo^+(R) do there exist $H$-invariant predictors? Bajpai-Velleman proved an affirmative answer when H=Affine^+(R), and a negative answer when H is (the subgroup generated by) C^\infty(R). They asked about the intermediate region; in particular, do there exist analytic-invariant predictors? We have partially answered that question: assuming the Continuum Hypothesis (CH), the answer is "no". Regarding other subgroups of Homeo^+(R), we have affirmative answers that rely solely on topological group-theoretic properties of the subgroup. But these properties are very restrictive; e.g., all known positive examples are metabelian. So there remain many open questions. This is joint work with Elpers, Cody, and Lee.

13.3. Spyridon Afentoulidis-Almpanis (MFF UK, Prague): Dirac cohomology and the BGG category O
Abstract: Dirac operators were used in the context of representation theory by Parthasarathy in 1972, as invariant first order differential operators acting on sections of homogeneous vector bundles over symmetric spaces $G/K$ in order to obtain realizations of the discrete series representations of $G$. In a series of lectures in 1997, Vogan introduced an algebraic analogue of Parthasarthy's Dirac operator. By using this operator, he defined the so-called Dirac cohomology of $(\mathfrak{g},K)$-modules $X$ and conjectured a relation between the Dirac cohomology of $X$ and its infinitesimal character, proved by Huang and Pand\v zi\'c in 2001. Since then, Dirac cohomology has been computed for various families of modules, including highest weight modules, $A_{\mathfrak q}(\lambda)$ modules, generalized Enright-Varadarajan modules, unipotent representations, etc. In this talk, we will present some results concerning Dirac operators for modules belonging to the standard BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. This category consists of the finitely generated, locally $\mathfrak{n}$-finite weight modules of $\mathfrak{g}$ and seems to be the "correct" module category to study questions raised by Verma concerning composition series and embeddings of Verma modules, and Jantzen concerning his so-called translation functors.

6.3. Liran Shaul (MFF UK, Prague): Finitistic dimension, generation of injectives, and dualizing complexes
Abstract: Grothendieck showed that a commutative noetherian ring with a dualizing complex has finite Krull dimension. In this talk we explain how this generalizes to noncommutative rings via the finitistic dimension.

27.2. Chris Lambie-Hanson (IM CAS, Prague): Derived inverse limit functors and set theory
Abstract: We present some recent work applying set theoretic techniques to the study of the higher derived functors of the inverse limit functor in the context of inverse systems of abelian groups. Time permitting, we will touch on some applications of this work to the study of strong homology and condensed mathematics. This is joint work with Jeffrey Bergfalk.

20.2. Jan Šaroch (MFF UK): Enochs' conjecture for left-hand classes of cotorsion pairs

13.2. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Locally coherent exact categories
Abstract: This is work in progress, so the results are a bit tentative. A locally coherent exact category is a finitely accessible additive category endowed with an exact structure in which the short exact sequences are the direct limits of short exact sequences of finitely presentable objects. The category of ind-objects in any small exact category has a natural locally coherent exact category structure. Any finitely accessible additive category has a unique maximal locally coherent exact structure. In particular, the category of modules over an arbitrary ring can be endowed with the maximal locally coherent exact structure, which is intermediate between the abelian and pure exact structures on the module category. This exact structure keeps track of the short exact sequences of finitely presented modules, but disregards the short exact sequences in which the middle term and the cokernel are finitely presented while the kernel isn't. It is expected that any locally coherent exact category should be of Grothendieck type in the sense of Stovicek, leading to an application to fp-projective periodicity. An application to coderived categories is also expected.

6.2. Paolo Tomasini (SISSA, Trieste): Equivariant elliptic cohomology and mapping stacks
Abstract: The talk would be based on my joint work with my PhD supervisor Nicolò Sibilla on an approach to equivariant elliptic cohomology based on mapping stacks. Our construction produces a Hochschild homology analogue of equivariant elliptic cohomology.

24.1. Sergei Sinchuk (Munich):
Abstract: Let R be a commutative ring with unity and Ф a simple irreducible root system. Provided Ф has rank at least 2, in every group of points G(Ф,R) of a simple Chevalley—Demazure group scheme G(Ф) one can choose a normal "subgroup" generated by the so-called “elementary root unipotents” (they are generalizations of the usual transvection matrices). This group is called the elementary subgroup and is denoted E(Ф, R). The functor sending R to the quotient group G(Ф, R)/E(Ф, R) is called the unstable K1-functor of type Ф. In turn, the unstable K2-functors are defined as kernels of natural projections St(Ф,R)→E(Ф, R), where St(Ф, R) are the unstable Steinberg groups (these are certain groups given by an explicit combinatorial presentation).
It is known from the works of A. Suslin, E. Abe, H. Lindel, D. Popescu, T. Vorst and A. Stavrova that the unstable K1 groups possess the homotopy invariance property, i.e. for a regular k-algebra R one has K1(Ф, R)=K1(Ф, R[t]). This property is analogous to a particular case of Bass—Quillen conjecture, which has been originally formulated as a statement about sets Vec(n) (the pointed sets of isomorphism classes of vector bundles of constant rank n). Of course, the high-level explanation for both phenomena is that both Vec(n) and K1(Ф) are represented in the A1-homotopy category H(k) of Morel and Voevodsky. In my talk I am going to discuss to what extent the same program has been realized for the functors K2(Ф). In the end I will discuss how K2(Ф) can be presented as fundamental groups of Chevalley—Demazure group schemes G(Ф) in the category H(k).

19.12. Chiara Sava (MFF UK): ∞-Dold-Kan correspondence via representation theory
Abstract: Both Happel and Ladkani proved that, for commutative rings, the quiver An is derived equivalent to the diagram generated by An where any composition of two consecutive arrows vanishes. We give a purely derivator-theoretic reformulation and proof of this result showing that it occurs uniformly across stable derivators and it is then independent of coefficients. The resulting equivalence provides a bridge between homotopy theory and representation theory; in fact we will see how our result is a derivator-theoretic version of the ∞-Dold-Kan correspondence for bounded cochain complexes.

12.12. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Fp-projective periodicity
Abstract: The phenomenon of periodicity, discovered by Benson and Goodearl, is related to the behavior of the modules of cocycles in acyclic complexes. It is known that all flat projective-periodic modules are projective, all fp-injective injective-periodic modules are injective, and all cotorsion-periodic modules are cotorsion. Saroch and Stovicek proved in their 2020 paper that, over a right coherent ring, all fp-projective-periodic right modules are fp-projective. I will explain how to prove that, over an arbitrary ring, all fp-projective-periodic modules are weakly fp-projective. Here the weakly fp-projective modules are the direct summands of modules filtered by the higher syzygy modules of finitely presented modules.

5.12. Manuel Eberl (University of Innsbruck): Formalising Mathematics in Isabelle/HOL
Abstract: In this talk, I give a very high-level overview about some recent work concerning the formalisation of mathematics in the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL. I start with a very brief look at what Isabelle/HOL is and what formalised mathematics looks like. Then I show two particular problems that I encountered and how I solved them, namely asymptotic estimates of real-valued functions and complicated integration contours arising in Analytic Number Theory.

28.11. Ilias Kaperonis (Univ. Athens): Stabilizing PGF modules through flat modules

21.11. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Locality, colocality, and antilocality in cotorsion pairs over commutative rings
Abstract: Antilocality is an alternative way in which global properties of modules or complexes of modules are locally controlled in a finite affine open covering of the spectrum. For example, injectivity of modules over non-Noetherian commutative rings is not preserved by localizations, while homotopy injectivity of complexes of modules is not preserved by localizations even for Noetherian rings. The latter also applies to the contraadjustedness and cotorsion properties. All the mentioned properties of modules or complexes over commutative rings are actually antilocal. They are also colocal, if one presumes contraadjustedness. Generally, if the left class in a hereditary complete cotorsion theory for modules or complexes of modules over commutative rings is local and preserved by direct images with respect to affine open immersions, then the right class is antilocal. If the right class in a cotorsion theory for contraadjusted modules or complexes of contraadjusted modules is colocal and preserved by such direct images, then the left class is antilocal.

14.11. Francesco Genovese (MFF UK): Towards the homotopy category of derived injectives
Abstract: If A is a Grothendieck abelian category, it is a well known result that we can reconstruct the bounded below derived category D^+(A) as the bounded below homotopy category of injectives K^+(Inj(A)). On the other hand, the unbounded homotopy category of injectives K(Inj(A)) is still relevant and its features have been studied in the past years. For instance, Grothendieck duality for a (suitable) ring R can be expressed as an equivalence K(Proj(R)) = K(Inj(R)) between the unbounded homotopy categories of injective and projective R-modules. In a more general setting, we replace abelian categories and their derived categories with (enhanced) triangulated categories endowed with t-structures, sometimes called t-categories. In this setup, one can still define a suitable notion of (derived) injective/projective object and prove a reconstruction result. Instead of using classical chain complexes, though, we need the more complex notion of twisted complex. The goal of this talk is to show that the category of unbounded twisted complexes of derived injective objects is endowed with a natural t-structure and it is a suitable generalization of the homotopy category of injectives. This might have interesting future applications to dg-algebras and possibly also derived algebraic geometry.

7.11. Jan Trlifaj (MFF UK): Categoricity for transfinite extensions of modules

31.10. Michal Hrbek (IM CAS): The minimal d-tilting class over Cohen-Macaulay rings

24.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): The hat equivalence and the bécarre involution II

17.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): The hat equivalence and the bécarre involution
Abstract: This talk is intended as an introduction to the bécarre (\natural) construction for DG-categories. I will spell out the bécarre construction and then compute it for the DG-category of DG-modules over a DG-ring R, for which it produces the DG-category of DG-modules over another DG-ring denoted by "R with hat". The DG-ring R with hat is always acyclic, i.e., its cohomology ring is zero. Furthermore, the hat construction extends to an equivalence between the category of curved DG-rings and the category of acyclic DG-rings. Applying the bécarre construction twice to a good enough DG-category comes back to the original DG-category, while applying the hat construction twice to any CDG-ring produces a DG-ring Morita equivalent to the original one. Thus, in particular, any DG-ring R is Morita equivalent to an acyclic DG-ring "R with two hats". This version of Morita equivalence for (C)DG-rings preserves the coderived and contraderived categories, but totally destroys the conventional derived category of DG-modules.

10.10. Simion Breaz (Babes-Bolyai Univ., Cluj-Napoca): Baer-Kaplansky Theorem and heaps of modules

29.9. Roger Wiegand (Univ. Nebraska): Homological properties of quasi-fiber-product rings

15.8. Po Hu (Wayne State Univ.): The Z/p-Equivariant Steenrod Algebra for odd primes
Abstract: I will discuss recent joint work by Po Hu, Igor Kriz, Petr Somberg, and Foling Zou https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.13427 calculating the Z/p-equivariant Steenrod algebra for odd primes. I will discuss the result, some specific new tools necessary for this calculation, as well as some potential applications.

15.8. Igor Kříž (Univ. Michigan): Equivariant Topology and the Steenrod Algebra
Abstract: In this talk, we will introduce some concepts of equivariant algebraic topology. We will also discuss the concept of cohomological operations and the Steenrod algebra. We will then present a classical calculation of the Z/2-equivariant Steenrod algebra by Hu and Kriz, and its significance in equivariant topology, including Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel's solution of the Kervaire invariant 1 problem.

24.5. Septimiu Crivei (B.B.Univ. Cluj): Maximal Exact Structures on Additive Categories
Abstract: Quillen exact categories have recently reappeared into the mainstream due to some new applications to algebraic K-theory, model structures, approximation theory or functional analysis. They provide a suitable setting for developing homological algebra beyond abelian categories, as is often the case in the above settings. Every additive category has an obvious smallest exact structure given by the split exact sequences. It is natural to wonder whether there exists, and then which is, the greatest exact structure on an arbitrary additive category. We review known results for preabelian, weakly idempotent complete and additive categories, and we present some steps towards its description.

23.5. Jakub Kopřiva (MFF UK): Semiorthogonal decompositions for gentle algebras
Abstract: The bounded derived category of a gentle algebra can be studied using curves on some marked surface. In this talk, I will give a characterization of semiorthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category as certain ways how to cut the associated marked surface. This is a joint work with Jan Šťovíček.

16.5. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): Finitisic dimensions over commutative DG-rings
Abstract: Over a ring A, the big projective finitistic dimension FPD(A) is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of all A-modules of finite projective dimension. When A is commutative and noetherian, classical results of Bass and Raynaud-Gruson showed it is always equal to the Krull dimension of A. In this talk I will discuss the corresponding problem for commutative DG-algebras and its solution. This is based on a joint work with Isaac Bird, Prashanth Sridhar and Jordan Williamson.

9.5. Zahra Nazemian (Univ. Graz): Bounded factorization property for some classes of noetherian domains
Abstract: Besides several techniques to find examples of noetherian domains with bounded factorization (BF) property, we will show that noetherian domains possessing a particular finite partition function from finitely generated modules to a set of ordinals are BF. This implies that noetherian rings with Auslander dualizing complex are BF. Examples of these rings include noetherian Hopf algebras (including the group algebra kG where k is a field and G a polycyclic-by-finite group) and the Weyl algebras A_n(k) where k is a field of characteristic zero. (Based on joint work with J. Bell, K. Brown, and D. Smertnig.)

25.4. Lorenzo Martini (Univ. Verona): Cotilting duality for artinian rings
Abstract: A classical result due to Morita and Azumaya establishes that any duality between the finitely generated modules over two arbitrary rings is representable by a unique bimodule which is a finitely generated injective cogenerator on both sides and, moreover, the two rings are necessarily artinian. We generalise this well-known result to the "cotilting duality", i.e. to the duality induced by a cotilting bimodule regarded in the derived categories of the given rings.

31.3. Yilmaz Durgun (Cukurova Univ. Adana): The opposite of projectivity by proper classes
Abstract: Proper classes (or exact structures) offer rich research topics due to their important roles in category theory. Motivated by the researches on opposite of projective modules, we investigate projectively generated proper classes. As an opposite to projectivity, a module M is said to be π-indigent if the projectively generated proper class by M is the smallest possible, namely, consisting of exactly the split short exact sequences. While when every module over a ring R is projective or when every module is π-indigent, R is semisimple artinian, rings over which every right module is either projective or π-indigent are not necessarily semisimple artinian. We show that every (finitely generated, finitely presented, cyclic, simple) right R-module is either projective or π-indigent if and only if R is Artinian serial and J2(R)=0 with a unique singular simple module (up to isomorphism). We initiate a deep study of the class of all projectively generated proper classes and denote it by π(R) for the ring R. We analyze the class π(R) in details. Among other results, we show that π(R) is linearly ordered if and only if |π(R)|=2, i.e., every non-projective module is π-indigent. Moreover, we show that, for each singular simple right R-module A, the projectively generated proper class by A is a maximal element of π(R). Under suitable conditions, the poset (π(R),⊆) turns out to be a bounded complete lattice, and it is boolean if R is an Artinian serial ring and J2(R)=0.

28.3. Aleksei Tsybyshev: Advances in Voevodsky's explicit approach to the stable homotopy category SH(k) of k-smooth varieties
Abstract: V. Voevodsky, together with F. Morel, defined the stable homotopy category SH(k) of k-smooth varieties and showed its many good properties. However, that construction is implicit and computations within it are hard. Voevodsky later proposed another approach to this category, more akin to the construction of the category DM of motives via Cor-sets of correspondences. This idea was developed in the works of G. Garkusha, I. Panin and others. This talk aims to introduce the main concepts of the area in an accessible and coherent way, and formulate some of the main results and their generalisations, for example, giving new ways to (locally) compute motivic homotopy sheaves π_{m,n} (X).

7.3. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): Nonhomogeneous quadratic duality
Abstract: Nonhomogeneous quadratic duality is a fully faithful contravariant functor from the category of nonhomogeneous quadratic algebras, which means filtered rings with increasing filtrations whose associated graded rings are quadratic, to the category of quadratic CDG-algebras. The functor becomes an anti-equivalence when restricted to the categories of nonhomogeneous Koszul algebras and Koszul CDG-algebras. I will explain the main concepts involved and present the basic elements of the construction of the duality. Time permitting, I may say a few words about the relative case over a base ring instead of a field.

10.1. Georgios Dalezios (Univ. Athens): Linear Reedy categories and abelian model structures
Abstract: Reedy categories form a generalization of the category of finite ordinals, with morphisms the weakly monotone functions, and are of fundamental importance in topology. In this talk, we discuss linear versions of Reedy categories and relate them to quivers with relations and finite-dimensional algebras. We also present a result on lifting complete cotorsion pairs and abelian model structures from certain abelian categories to functors indexed by linear Reedy categories. The talk is based on discussions with Jan Stovicek.

3.1. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): A covering class of modules not closed under pure quotients
Abstract: I will present an example of a Bass flat brick module F over an associative algebra R (over a field k) with a projective pure submodule P in F such that the quotient module F/P does not belong to Add(F). Thus Add(F) is a covering class of R-modules, which is closed under direct limits, but not under pure epimorphic images. The k-algebra R is constructed in terms of a certain infinite quiver with relations, and can be thought of as universal in some sense.

29.11. Prashanth Sridhar (MFF UK): Finding Maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules: Representation stability and outer automorphism groups
Abstract: In this talk, we consider a problem that lies in the confluence of two topics. On one hand, we have maximal Cohen-Macaulay (MCM) modules - these are classical objects that have been studied extensively from algebraic and geometric viewpoints. There is a rich theory of MCM modules over Cohen-Macaulay (CM) rings and many beautiful connections to the singularities of the ring have been discovered. However, in the absence of the CM property in the ring, not as much is known - even the object's existence is largely unclear. On the other hand, we have a mixed characteristic phenomenon. In 1980, Paul Roberts showed that the integral closure of a regular local ring in an Abelian extension of its quotient field is CM, provided the characteristic of the residue field does not divide the degree of the extension. This fails in the "modular case" in mixed characteristic. We will look at some past results in the literature before considering the question of existence of MCMs in the modular case of Roberts's theorem.

22.11. Luca Pol (Univ. Regensburg): Representation stability and outer automorphism groups
Abstract: In this talk, I will present a framework for studying families of representations of the outer automorphism groups indexed on a collection of finite groups U. One can encode this large amount of data into a convenient abelian category AU which generalizes the category of VI-modules appearing in the representation theory of the finite general linear groups. Inspired by the work of Church-Ellenberg-Farb, I will discuss for which choices of U the abelian category is locally noetherian and deduce analogues of central stability and representation stability results in this setting.

11.+18.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS, Prague): The Govorov-Lazard problem for contramodules over topological rings
Abstract: The classical Govorov-Lazard theorem tells that any flat module over a ring is a direct limit of finitely generated free modules. The aim of this talk is to report on recent progress concerning the same question for contramodules over topological rings. A counterexample shows that the class of flat contramodules can be wider than the class of all direct limits of projective contramodules, at least if one considers topological rings having no countable base of neighborhoods of zero. On the other hand, under certain restrictive assumptions on the topological ring one can prove that all flat contramodules are direct limits of finitely generated projective or free ones. I will also discuss the related concepts of 1-strictly flat and infinity-strictly flat contramodules as well as contratensor purity.

24.5. Jordan Williamson (MFF UK): Local Gorenstein duality in chromatic group cohomology
Abstract: Many algebraic definitions and constructions can be made in a derived or homotopy invariant setting and as such make sense for ring spectra. Dwyer-Greenlees-Iyengar (followed by Barthel-Heard-Valenzuela) showed that one can make sense of local Gorenstein duality for ring spectra. In this talk, I will show that cochain spectra C*(BG;R) satisfy local Gorenstein duality surprisingly often, and explain some of the implications of this. When R=k is a field this recovers duality properties in modular representation theory conjectured by Benson and later proved by Benson-Greenlees. However, the result also applies to more exotic coefficients R such as Lubin-Tate theories, K-theory spectra or topological modular forms, showing that chromatic analogues of Benson’s conjecture also hold. This is joint work with Luca Pol.

17.5. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): The structure of derived categories of commutative DG-rings
Abstract: The notion of stratification of a triangulated category with an action by a graded ring was introduced by Benson, Iyengar and Krause. This notion allows one to classify the localizing subcategories of such a triangulated category, giving a formal framework to a foundational result of Neeman who proved such a classification for the derived category of a commutative noetherian ring. In this talk we explain a necessary and sufficient condition which allows to lift such a stratification between certain tensor triangulated categories. As an application, we are able to completely classify the localizing and colocalizing subcategories of the derived categories of a wide variety of commutative DG-rings.
This talk is based on a joint work with Jordan Williamson.

12.4. Sergio Pavon (Univ. Padova, MU AVCR): Derived equivalences via iterated HRS-tilting, for commutative noetherian rings
Abstract: The title of this talk refers to that of a paper by Chen, Han and Zhou (Derived equivalences via HRS-tilting, Adv. Math. 354, 2019), which is used as a starting point. In it, the authors provide a criterion for the HRS-tilting at a torsion pair in an abelian category A to give a t-structure with heart (bounded) derived equivalent to A. We refine the criterion for hereditary torsion pairs in Grothedieck categories, and then proceed to apply it several times inside the derived category D(R) of a commutative noetherian ring R. We deduce:
1) that all hereditary torsion pairs in Mod(R) induce derived equivalence, via HRS-tilting;
2) that all intermediate compactly generated t-structures in D(R) which restrict to the bounded derived category of finitely presented R-modules have heart derived equivalent to Mod(R), via iterated HRS-tilting.
This talk is based on joint work with J.Vitória, arXiv:2009.08763.

8.2. Michal Hrbek (IM CAS, Prague): Gluing of t-structures over stalks of affine schemes
Abstract: We show that compactly generated t-structures in the derived category of a commutative ring R correspond bijectively to certain families of compactly generated t-structures over the localizations of R at maximal ideals. These compatible families are given by a natural gluing condition for the associated sequence of Thomason subsets of the Zariski spectrum. As one application, we show that the compact generation of a homotopically smashing t-structure can be checked locally at maximal ideals. Together with a result of Balmer and Favi, this yields that the Telescope Conjecture over a concentrated scheme is a stalk-local property. Furthermore, we show that derived colocalization functors induce a bijection between cosilting objects of cofinite type over R and compatible families of cosilting objects of cofinite type over stalks of R, generalizing the result of Trlifaj and Şahinkaya. This is a report on recent joint work with JiangshengbHu and Rongmin Zhu.

1.2. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS, Prague): Exact category structures and tensor products of topological vector spaces with linear topology
Abstract: Abelian categories are rare in functional analysis or topological algebra, and the classical approach to developing homological algebra in topological settings has been to construct and use exact category structures. The quasi-abelian categories form a class of additive categories closest to the abelian ones; they have very natural exact category structures. The categories of all topological vector spaces or Hausdorff topological vector spaces are quasi-abelian, but the category of complete topological vector spaces is not, because the quotient space of a complete topological vector space by a closed subspace need not be complete. I will explain that the category of complete Hausdorff topological vector spaces is right, but not left quasi-abelian, contrary to a claim on the first page of a 2008 paper of Beilinson. Furthermore, Beilinson defined three important tensor product operations on topological vector spaces with linear topology and claimed that they are exact functors in the (nonexistent) quasi-abelian exact category structure. I will explain that at least two of the three tensor products are not exact in the maximal exact structure on topological vector spaces.

Abstract: In 1960, Lech found an inequality connecting two basic invariants of an m-primary ideal of a local ring R: colength and multiplicity. Lech observed that his inequality is never sharp in dimension at least two. In my talk, I will explain why Lech's inequality is natural and present several improvements.

12.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS, Prague): A description of the second class in the cotilting cotorsion pair in terms of cofiltrations
slides, paper on arXive
Abstract : Saroch and Trlifaj in their recent paper described the right class in the cotorsion pair induced by any 1-cotilting module in terms of 2-step filtrations by injective modules and products of copies of the cotilting module. This result was based on the classical dual Bongartz lemma. In this talk, I will formulate the n-Bongartz lemma for an integer n and show how to use the dual n-Bongartz lemma in order to describe the right class in the cotorsion pair induced by any n-cotilting module in terms of (n+1)-step filtrations by products of copies of the associated i-cotilting modules, where i ranges from 0 to n. The dual description of the left class in any n-tilting cotorsion pair also holds.

5.10. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): Koszul complexes over Cohen-Macaulay rings
Abstract : It is well known that if A is a Cohen-Macaulay ring and $a_1,\dots,a_n$ is an $A$-regular sequence, then the quotient ring $A/(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is also a Cohen-Macaulay ring. In this talk we explain that by deriving the quotient operation, if A is a Cohen-Macaulay ring and $a_1,\dots,a_n$ is any sequence of elements in $A$, the derived quotient of $A$ with respect to $(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is Cohen-Macaulay.

8.6. Jordan Williamson (Univ. Sheffield): Algebraic models for change of groups functors
Abstract: Equivariant cohomology theories are powerful invariants of spaces with the action of a group. A conjecture of Greenlees states that when one restricts to the equivariant cohomology theories taking values in rational vector spaces, there is an abelian category equivalent to it. This conjecture has been proven in many cases; for example for finite groups, for tori of any rank, or for equivariant cohomology theories on spaces with a free action. The inclusion of a subgroup H into a compact Lie group G induces an adjoint triple of induction, restriction and coinduction functors between the categories of G-equivariant cohomology theories and H-equivariant cohomology theories, analogous to the functors in representation theory. In this talk, I will explain how to connect the induction, restriction and coinduction functors in topology with functors in algebra. I will attempt to focus on the more algebraic aspects of this story, in particular, the Gorenstein condition in derived commutative algebra context.

8.6. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS, Prague): A construction of complete cotorsion pairs in the relative context
Abstract: Let R -> A be a ring homomorphism, and let (F,C) be a hereditary complete cotorsion pair in R-Mod. Let (F_A,C_A) be the cotorsion pair in A-Mod for which F_A is the class of all A-modules whose underlying R-modules belong to F. Assuming that countable products of modules from F have finite F-resolution dimension bounded by a natural number k and the class F is preserved by the functor Hom_R(A,-), we show that C_A is the class of all direct summands of A-modules cofiltered by A-modules coinduced from modules from C, with the cofiltrations indexed by the ordinal omega+k.

1.6. Issac Bird (Univ. Manchester): Definable classes arising from maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules
Abstract: Over a Cohen-Macaulay ring the most well known extension of the maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules is the class of balanced big Cohen-Macaulay modules, however, this class does not have particularly nice closure properties, such as not always being closed under summands. I will describe two definable classes, which have particularly nice closure properties, extending both the maximal and balanced big Cohen-Macaulay modules, describe the relationship between the two and discuss some of their properties. I will then give a particular application over hypersurface rings by discussing the relationship between Ziegler spectrum of the Gorenstein flat modules and Knoerrer periodicity.

11.5. Pavel Růžička (MFF UK): Realization of Riesz refinement monoids by von Neumann regular rings
Abstract: The commutative monoid V(R), assigned to a unital associative ring R, consists of all isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective right R-modules, with the operation induced from direct sums. If R is a von Neumann regular ring or a C∗-algebra with real rank zero, then the monoid V(R) satisfies the Riesz refinement property. We will discuss the realization problem, whether every countable monoid with the Riesz refinement property is isomorphic to the monoid V(R) of a von Neumann regular ring.

4.5. Sebastian Opper (Univ. Paderborn): A surface model for cycles of projective lines and applications
Abstract: Polishchuk showed that spherical objects in the derived category of any cycle of projective lines yield solutions of the associative Yang-Baxter equation which raises the question whether one can classify spherical objects in this case. He further posed the question whether the group of derived auto-equivalences of a cycle acts transitively on isomorphism classes of spherical objects. Partial solutions to both problems were given in works of Burban-Kreussler and Lekili-Polishchuk. A theorem of Burban-Drozd establishes a connection between the derived category of any cycle of projective lines with the derived category of a certain gentle algebra. The derived categories of such algebras can be modelled by a (toplogical) surface which allows to translate algebraic information in the derived category such as objects into geometric information on the surface such as curves. I will explain how the result of Burban-Drozd can be used to find a similar model for the derived category of a cycle. In the final part of the talk, I will show how the surface model can be used to classify spherical objects and establish transitivity for any cycle of projective lines. We will discuss further applications to their groups of derived auto-equivalences and faithfulness of certain groups actions as defined by Sibilla.

23.3. Leonid Positselski (MI, CAS): Derived adically complete modules and complexes
Abstract: Let I be a finitely generated ideal in a commutative ring R. Several definitions of derived I-adically complete complexes of R-modules exist in the literature. I will explain that there are, in fact, three reasonable triangulated categories of derived I-adically complete complexes arising from two abelian categories of derived I-adically complete R-modules. There are also two triangulated categories of derived I-torsion complexes related to one abelian category of I-torsion R-modules. When the ideal I is weakly proregular (in particular, when the ring R is Noetherian), there is only one category in each case.

Abstract: The aim of this lecture is to describe the generic local structure of an eventually coconnective derived scheme. To do this, we introduce the regular, Gorenstein and Cohen-Macaulay loci of a commutative differential graded ring. We study these loci, and explain that while the regular and Gorenstein loci are often empty, under mild assumptions the Cohen-Macaulay locus of a commutative DG-ring contains a dense open set.

24.2. Edoardo Lanari (MU AVCR): Infinite powers of approximating ideals
Abstract: The goal of this talk is to describe an equivalence between the (∞,2)-category of cartesian factorization systems on ∞-categories and that of pointed cartesian fibrations of ∞-categories. This generalizes a similar result known for ordinary categories and sheds some light on the interplay between these two seemingly distant concepts.

18.2. Xianhui Fu (Northeast Normal Univ. Changchun): Infinite powers of approximating ideals
Abstract: In this talk, we present and prove an ideal version of Eklof's Lemma. After introducing the notion of the \alpha-th inductive power of a special preenveloping ideal for an ordinal \alpha, we show that the \alpha-th inductive power of a special preenveloping ideal is still special preenveloping for any ordinal \alpha. As applications, we prove that if $R$ is a right coherent ring and the class of pure projective right $R$-modules is closed under extensions, then every FP-projective module is pure projective; and show that in the derived category of modules over a ring $R$, the \aleph_0-th inductive power of the ghost ideal is zero. This talk is based on a joint work with Ivo Herzog, Sergio Estrada, and Sinem Odabasi.

13.1. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): PRECOVERS AND COVERS OF DIRECT LIMITS OF MODULES AND CONTRAMODULES
Abstract: There are two main results to be explained in this talk: 1. a simple elementary proof of the Enochs conjecture for the left class of an n-tilting cotorsion pair in a Grothendieck category, and 2. a direct limit of projective contramodules is projective if it has a projective cover. Both results are obtained from an argument about precovers and covers of direct limits, based on considerations of local splitness. This talk is based on a joint work with Silvana Bazzoni and Jan Stovicek.

16.12. Jiangsheng Hu (Jiangsu University of Technology, Changzhou, China): SPECIAL PRECOVERING CLASSES IN COMMA CATEGORIES
Abstract:Let T be a right exact functor from an abelian category B into another abelian category A. Then there exists a functor p from the product category A x B to the comma category (T ↓ A). In this talk, we study the property of the extension closure of some classes of objects in the comma category (T ↓ A), the exactness of the functor p and the detail description of orthogonal classes of a given class induced by p. Moreover, we characterize when special precovering classes in abelian categories A and B can induce special precovering classes in (T ↓ A). As an application, we prove that under suitable cases, the class of Gorenstein projective left Λ-modules over a triangular matrix ring Λ is special precovering if and only if both the classes of Gorenstein projective left R-modules and left S-modules are special precovering. Consequently, we produce a large variety of examples of rings such that the class of Gorenstein projective modules is special precovering over them. The talk is based on a recent joint work with Haiyan Zhu.

25.11. Martin Mach (MFF UK): ON THE LINES ON DEGREE 4 AND OTHER DEL PEZZO SURFACES
Abstrakt: Del Pezzo surfaces are smooth projective algebraic surfaces with an ample anti-canonical divisor. Over an algebraically closed field they can all be obtained by blowing up the projective plane or as a product of two projective lines. Most famously, blowing up the plane in 6 points gives us the cubic surface. It has been known since 1849 due to Cayley, that this surface contains 27 straight lines (most succintly descibed as -1-curves).
We look at the case of the Segre surface, which is a smooth intersection of two quadrics in projective 4-space. It is known to contain 16 straight lines. We adapt Cayley's method to show an existence of at least one line on the surface. Then we turn to divisor theory to enumerate the lines for many of del Pezzo surfaces simultaneously.

The (stable) rationality problem consists in deciding whether a smooth projective variety is (stably) rational or not. I will describe an obstruction to (stable) rationality for a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field which originates in the work of Bloch and Srinivas. The specialization method that I introduced a few years ago led to many new (stable) irrationality results and the discovery of interesting new stable birational invariants.

14.10. Amnon Yekutieli (Ben Gurion Univ.): FLATNESS AND COMPLETION REVISITED
Abstract: In this talk I consider an old and exhaustively studied situation: A is a commutative ring, and \a is an ideal in it. ("\a" stands for gothic "a".) We are interested in the \a-adic completion operation for A-modules, and in flatness of A-modules.
The departure from the classical and familiar situation is this: the A-modules we care about are not finitely generated. The following was considered an open problem by commutative algebraists: if A is a noetherian ring and M is a flat A-module, is the \a-adic completion of M also flat? Partial positive answers were published in the literature over the years. In 2016 I found a proof of the general case. But then, a series of emails led me to prior proofs, that are embedded in pretty recent texts, and were unknown to the commutative algebra community.
Nonetheless, my methods gave more detailed variants of the general result mentioned above, that are actually new. One of them concerns the case of a ring A that is not noetherian, but where the ideal \a is weakly proregular. The latter is a condition discovered by Grothendieck a long time ago, but became prominent only very recently (in the context of derived completion).
In the talk I will give the background, mention the new and not-so-new results (with some proofs), and give a few concrete examples.

Abstract: In this talk we explain how to extend the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings and Cohen-Macaulay modules to the setting of commutative DG-rings. We will explain how by studying local cohomology in the DG-setting, one obtains certain amplitude inequalities about certain DG-modules of finite injective dimension. When these inequalities are equalities, we arrive to the notion of a Cohen-Macaulay DG-ring. We show that these arise naturally in many situations, and explain their basic theory. The talk is based on arxiv:1902.06771.

Abstract: In this talk we explain how to extend the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings and Cohen-Macaulay modules to the setting of commutative DG-rings. We will explain how by studying local cohomology in the DG-setting, one obtains certain amplitude inequalities about certain DG-modules of finite injective dimension. When these inequalities are equalities, we arrive to the notion of a Cohen-Macaulay DG-ring. We show that these arise naturally in many situations, and explain their basic theory. The talk is based on arxiv:1902.06771.

4.3. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): COUNTABLY GENERATED ENDO-SIGMA-COPERFECT MODULES
Abstract: A question of Angeleri Hugel and Saorin about perfect decompositions of endo-Sigma-coperfect modules can be formulated as follows: if a module M is Sigma-coperfect over its endomorphism ring, does it follow that every local direct summand in M is a direct summand? In this talk I will prove that if M is a countably generated endo-Sigma-coperfect module, then every countably indexed local direct summand in M is a direct summand. The argument using Bass flat contramodules over topological rings with a countable base of neighborhoods of zero belongs to Jan Stovicek and the speaker.

3.12. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): A TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MODULES WITH PERFECT DECOMPOSITIONS
Abstract: A module (over some associative ring) is said to have a perfect decomposition if it decomposes as a direct sum of a family of modules satisfying a kind of local T-nilpotency condition for all noninvertible morphisms between modules in the family. It turns out that modules with perfect decomposition can be characterized in terms of their topological rings of endomorphisms: a module has perfect decomposition if and only if its topological ring of endomorphisms has strongly closed topologically T-nilpotent (topological) Jacobson radical, and the topological quotient ring is topologically semisimple. One can call such topological rings "topologically perfect". For example, a commutative topological ring is topologically perfect if and only if all its discrete quotient rings are perfect.

26.11. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): TOPOLOGICALLY SEMISIMPLE TOPOLOGICAL RINGS
Abstract: A Grothendieck abelian category is said to be semisimple if every its object is a (direct) sum of simple objects. The property of an associative ring to have a semisimple module category is left-right symmetric (such rings are called classically or Artinian semisimple). In this talk I will prove a similar theorem for topological rings: the abelian category of left contramodules over a topological ring R is Grothendieck and semisimple if and only if the abelian category of discrete right R-modules is semisimple. Time permitting, I may also say a few words about a conjectural notion of a topologically left perfect ring.

19.11. Liran Shaul (MFF UK): INJECTIVE MODULES OVER DERIVED RINGS
Abstract: The notion of an injective module is fundamental in homological algebra over rings. In this talk, we explain how to generalize this notion to derived rings. The Bass-Papp theorem states that a ring is left noetherian if and only if direct sums of left injective modules are injective. We will explain a version of this result in higher algebra, leading us to the notion of a left noetherian derived ring. In the final part of the talk, we will specialize to commutative noetherian derived rings, show that the Matlis structure theory of injective modules holds in this setting, and deduce a generalization of Grothendieck’s local duality theorem.

12.11. Alexander Slávik (MFF UK): PURITY IN CATEGORIES OF SHEAVES
There are (at least) two types of purity considered for the category of sheaves over a scheme (either quasicoherent or not): the geometric one, defined using the tensor product, and the categorical one, defined via finitely presented objects. We investigate the properties of and the relations between these two. Most importantly, for a quasicompact and quasiseparated scheme X, the two purities in QCoh(X) coincide if and only if X is affine. Time permitting, a number of (counter)examples will be presented. Joint work with Mike Prest.

5.11. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): FLAT COMMUTATIVE RING EPIMORPHISMS OF ALMOST KRULL DIMENSION ZERO
Abstract: I will explain how to prove that a flat epimorphism of commutative rings has projective dimension at most one provided that, in the related Gabriel filter of ideals, the quotient ring by any ideal in the filter is semilocal of Krull dimension zero. The argument is based on the notion of an I-contramodule R-module for an ideal I in a commutative ring R.

Abstract: Derived commutative algebra is the result of mixing ideas from commutative algebra with homotopy theory. The purpose of this talk is to explain some of the basic ideas of derived commutative algebra. I will give various examples demonstrating how classical commutative algebra misses some key information about various homological constructions, and show how by using derived commutative rings one may retain this information and prove stronger results.

1.10., 8.10., and 15.10. Leonid Positselski (IM CAS): HOW TO PROVE THAT A FLAT RING EPIMORPHISM HAS PROJECTIVE DIMENSION ONE?
Abstract: The aim of this series of talks is to explain the details of a technique for proving that, in some left flat ring epimorphisms, the projective dimension of the target ring as a left module over the source does not exceed one. Two assertions are known to be provable with two versions of the technique. One of them is that a left flat epimorphism of associative rings has projective dimension at most 1 whenever the related Gabriel filter of right ideals has a countable base. The other one is that a flat epimorphism of commutative rings has projective dimenension at most 1 whenever, in the related Gabriel filter of ideals, the quotient ring by any ideal in the filter is semilocal of Krull dimension zero. In both cases, the argument is based on certain computations with contramodules.

Abstract: A commutative ring R can be considered as a simple graph whose vertices are elements of R and two different elements x and y of R are adjacent if and only if xy=0. The idea of colouring of a commutative ring establishes a connection between graph theory and commutative ring theory which hopefully will turn out to be mutually beneficial for these two branches of mathematics. In a manner analogous to the commutative case, the zero-divisor graph of a non-commutative semigroup S can be defined as the directed graph \Gamma(S) whose vertices are all non-zero zero-divisors of S$ in which for any two distinct vertices x and y, x\to y is an edge if and only if xy=0. In the talk, we shall discuss the interplay between the properties of a matrix semigroup S over a finite ring R and the graph-theoretic properties of \Gamma(S), \Gamma(R): the connectedness, diameter, existence of sources, sinks, etc.

8.1. Yuriy Ishchuk (Univ. of Lviv): SEMIGROUPS AND S-POLYGONS WITH ANNIHILATION CONDITIONS
Abstract: The notions of semicommutative semigroup $S$ and abelian $S$-polygon ($S$-act) by analogy with the notions of semi commutative, abelian modules and rings will be introduced. The interdependences between reduced, reversible and semicommutative semigroups are investigated. It was proved that the class of abelian $S$-polygons is closed under subpolygons, direct products and homomorphic images. Using the notions of Baer's conditions for modules I will introduce p.p.-Baer $S$-polygons and prove that if $A_S$ is a p.p.-Baer $S$-polygon, then the conditions for $A_S$ to be a reduced, symmetric, semicommutative and an abelian $S$-polygon are equivalent.

Abstract: The problem whether the pullback of two finitely generated algebras over a Noetherian commutative ring is finitely generated arises from the study of existence of pushouts of affine algebraic varieties. The problem can be easily reduced to asking when two types of subalgebras of a finitely generated algebra are finitely generated. In this talk, I will give a complete description of finitely generated subalgebras of one type and use it to show that some special subalgebras of the other type are finitely generated. I will also discuss local properties of said pullbacks and some examples from algebraic geometry.

6.11. Leonid Positselski (Univ. Haifa): OBTAINABLE MODULES AND THE DESCENT OF VERY FLATNESS
Abstract: The proof of the very flat conjecture is based on the main lemmas describing descent properties of the class of very flat modules with respect to certain morphisms of commutative rings. The proofs of the main lemmas are, in turn, based on a combination of three techniques: obtainable modules, contramodules, and a derived category version of the Nunke-Matlis exact sequence. In this talk, I will explain what obtainable modules are and how to use them, and sketch the proofs of the two main lemmas. Time permitting, I may also say a few words about the generalization of some results about very flatness to strongly flat and weakly cotorsion modules.

30.10.Andrew Mathas (Univ. Sydney): JANTZEN FILTRATIONS AND GRADED SPECHT MODULES
Abstract: The Jantzen sum formula is a classical result in the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear groups that describes a natural filtration of the Specht modules over any field. Analogues of this result exist for many algebras including the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type A. Quite remarkably, the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type A are now know to admit a Z-grading because they are isomorphic to cyclotomic KLR algebras. I will explain how to give an easy proof, and stronger formulation, of Jantzen sum formula for the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type A using the KLR grading. I will discuss some consequences and applications of this approach.

23.10. (15:30) Leonid Positselski (Univ. Haifa): THE VERY FLAT CONJECTURE IN COMMUTATIVE ALGEBRA
Abstract: The very flat conjecture claims that any flat, finitely presented commutative algebra over a commutative ring is a very flat module over that ring. This was formulated in February 2014 and proved in the Summer of 2017. In the talk, I will introduce two formulations of the conjecture and discuss corollaries. Then I will formulate two versions of the Main Lemma and deduce the conjecture from the Main Lemma. Time permitting, I will also say a few words about the proofs of (at least some versions) of the Main Lemma, and about its extensions from the very flat to the strongly flat/quite flat setting.

5.6. Leonid Positselski (Univ. Haifa): ABELIAN RIGHT PERPENDICULAR SUBCATEGORIES IN MODULE CATEGORIES
Abstract: Geigle and Lenzing defined the perpendicular subcategories to classes of objects in abelian categories, and proved that the right perpendicular subcategory to a class of objects of projective dimension 1 is abelian. More generally, one can consider those Ext^{0,1}-perpendicular subcategories to classes of objects that just happen to be abelian with an exact inclusion functor, for whatever reason. In particular, if the Ext^{0,1}-perpendicular subcategory to a given class of objects happens to coincide with the Ext^{0,1,2}-perpendicular subcategory to the same objects, then this subcategory is abelian. In this talk I will suggest a series of definitions of perpendicular subcategories, and show that, no matter which one of these definitions one chooses, the class of abelian categories obtainable as the right perpendicular subcategories to sets of objects or morphisms in module categories turns out to be the same. Namely, it it the class of all locally presentable abelian categories with a projective generator.

Abstract: The related notions of nonforking, independence, and stable amalgamation are of central importance in the development of the stability theory of both elementary and nonelementary classes, but have not been much appreciated (or understood) by nonspecialists. We discuss ongoing joint work with Jiří Rosický and Sebastien Vasey, which aims to provide a friendlier, more straightforwardly mathematical, category-theoretic formulation of this idea. In particular, we develop a well-behaved nonforking relation for coregular locally presentable and locally multi-presentable categories. Time permitting, we will consider why the latter case may be very interesting, indeed.

The class of very flat modules over a commutative ring has many nice properties; for instance, the notion of very flatness is Zariski-local, therefore it makes perfect sense to define very flat quasi-coherent sheaves. The main idea is to use this class as a remedy for the lack of projective quasi-coherent sheaves, replacing the usual approach (due to Murfet) via flat sheaves. Joint work with S. Estrada and J. Trlifaj with occasional hints from L. Positselski.

13.11. Roger Wiegand (Univ. Nebraska) MODULES WITH NO SELF-EXTENSIONS
Let R be a local Noetherian Gorenstein domain, and let M be a finitely generated R-module such that M\otimes_R M^* is maximal Cohen-Macaulay. The so-called "Huneke-Wiegand Conjecture" (from the early nineties) asserts that M must be a free module. The conjecture reduces to the one-dimensional case, where it can be shown (assuming, harmlessly, that M is torsion-free) that the torsion submodule of M\otimes_R M^* is Ext^1_R(M,M). Thus the conjecture asserts that over a local one-dimensional Gorenstein domain every rigid module (a module for which every self-extension splits) is free. The conjecture is open even when R is a complete intersection and M is an ideal of R. In work with Srikanth Iyengar and Craig Huneke, we have verified many cases of the conjecture, for example, when M is a licci ideal of R.

2.11. Leonid Positselski (Technion & IITP) COTORSION THEORIES IN LOCALLY PRESENTABLE ABELIAN CATEGORIES
I will explain how to apply a small object argument-based approach to the construction of complete cotorsion theories in locally presentable abelian categories, partially generalizing the work of Eklof and Trlifaj. This technique can be applied in order to deduce completeness of the flat and very flat cotorsion theories in the categories of contramodules over the topological projective limit of a sequence of associative (resp., commutative) rings. I will also present a counterexample showing why a full generalization of the Eklof-Trlifaj theorem to locally presentable abelian categories does not seem to be possible. Time permitting, I may also say a few words about a proof of the existence of flat covers in contramodule categories. The talk is based on a recent joint work with J. Rosicky.

2.6. Markus Schmidmeier (Florida Atlantic Univ.) A SWISS CHEESE THEOREM FOR LINEAR OPERATORS WITH TWO INVARIANT SUBSPACES
In this talk we discuss a joint project with Audrey Moore on the possible dimension types of linear operators with two invariant subspaces. Formally, we consider systems $(V, T, U_1, U_2)$ where $V$ is a finite dimensional vector space, $T: V\to V$ a nilpotent linear operator, and $U_1$, $U_2$ subspaces of $V$ which are contained in each other and which are invariant under the action of $T$. To each system we can associate the dimension type $(\dim U_1, dim U_2/U_1, dim V/U_2)$.
Such systems occur in the theory of linear time-invariant dynamical systems where the subquotient $U_2/U_1$ is used to reduce the dynamical system to one which is completely controllable and completely observable.
No gaps but holes: The well-known No-Gap Theorem by Bongartz states that for a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, whenever there is an indecomposable module of length $n>1$, then there is one of length $n-1$. By comparison, consider the space given by the dimension types of indecomposable systems in the situation where $T$ acts with nilpotency index at most 4. Our main result states that in this space there are triples, for example $(3,1,3)$, which can not be realized as the dimension type of an indecomposable object, while each neighbor can.

In 1975 a new trend of commutative algebra arose with the work by Richard Stanley who used the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings to prove affirmatively the upper bound conjecture for spheres. It then turned out that commutative algebra supplies basic methods in the algebraic study of combinatorics on convex polytopes and simplicial complexes. Stanley was the first who used in a systematic way concepts and technique from commutative algebra to study simplicial complexes by considering the Hilbert function of Stanley-Reisner rings, whose defining ideals are generated by square-free monomials. Since then, the study of square-free monomial ideals from both the algebraic and combinatorial point of view is one of the most exciting topics in commutative algebra.
In this talk we present a survey on some research on combinatorial commutative algebra.

Joint work with William Heinzer and Christel Rotthaus
In ongoing work with William Heinzer and Christel Rotthaus over the past twenty years we have been applying a construction technique for obtaining sometimes baffling, sometimes badly behaved, sometimes Noetherian, sometimes non- Noetherian integral domains. This technique of intersecting fields with power series rings goes back to Akizuki-Schmidt in the 1930s and Nagata in the 1950s, and since then has also been employed by Nishimuri, Heitmann, Ogoma, the authors and others.
We are writing a book about our procedures and examples. We present some of the theory and techniques we use, and mention some examples. In particular we may mention some famous classical examples and show how they are streamlined with this technique or give an example that is "almost Noetherian" in that exactly one prime ideal is not finitely generated.

We discuss recent joint work with Jiří Rosický which seeks to extend a fragment of the classification theory of AECs to the more general framework of accessible categories, particularly for accessible categories with concrete directed colimits: essentially AECs minus coherence. There are several pleasant surprises---a generalization of Boney's recent theorem on tameness of AECs under a large cardinal hypothesis follows from work of Makkai and Paré. On the other hand, these categories admit a robust Ehrenfeucht-Mostowski functor which can be used to mimic certain constructions in AECs, which should have new and meaningful implications in categorical algebra.

Contramodules are a wide class of module-type algebraic structures endowed with infinite summation operations. Defined originally by Eilenberg and Moore in 1965 in the case of coalgebras over commutative rings, they experience a small renaissance now after being all but forgotten for three or four decades. I will define contramodules over topological rings, some topological Lie algebras, and topological groups, and discuss contramodules over compele Noetherian rings in some detail. Globalizing contramodules over nonaffine algebraic varieties requires the notion of a contraherent cosheaf, and I will say a few words about these, too.

The main obstacle to answering this leads to a question concerning a characterization of perfect rings asked in a paper by Nashier and Nichols from 1991, and innocent as it may look, it seems to be open. Although so far we are unable to provide an answer, we solve several intermediate problems, which have nice linear algebraic or even combinatorial formulations. (Joint work with D. Herden and P. Růžička.)

10.3. Adam-Christiaan van Roosmalen (MFF UK): HALL ALGEBRAS FOR REPRESENTATIONS OF LINEARLY ORDERED SETS
This talk is based on joint research with Qunhua Liu and Guillaume Pouchin. Let Q be a quiver of Dynkin type A and let F_q be a finite field with q elements. It is well-known that the Hall algebra of the category of F_q representations of Q is connected with the quantized enveloping algebra of sl(n). In this talk, I will replace the quiver Q by an infinite linearly ordered set and describe the corresponding Hall algebra. This algebra can then be seen as a quantization of the positive part of the enveloping algebra of a locally finite Lie algebra.

14.1. Mauritz Groth (Radboud Univ. Nijmegen) : TILTING THEORY VIA STABLE HOMOTOPY THEORY
Tilting theory is a derived version of Morita theory. In the context of quivers Q and Q' and a field k, this amounts to looking for conditions which guarantee that the derived categories of the path algebras D(kQ) and D(kQ') are equivalent as triangulated categories. In this project (which is j/w Jan Stovicek) we take a different approach to tilting theory and show that some aspects of it are formal consequences of stability. Slightly more precisely, we show that certain tilting equivalences can be lifted to the context of arbitrary abstract stable homotopy theory. Plugging in specific examples this tells us that refined versions of these tilting results are also valid over arbitrary ground rings, for quasi-coherent modules on a scheme, in the differential-graded context and also in the spectral context.

13.1. Andrew Mathas (Univ. Sydney): THE RISE AND FALL OF THE JAMES AND LUSZTIG CONJECTURES
Much of the activity in the representation theory of Lie groups in the last thirty years has been geared towards proving the James conjecture (type A) and the Lusztig conjecture (all types). Roughly speaking, these conjectures say that in certain circumstances the formal characters of the finite groups of Lie type coincide with the characters of corresponding irreducible representations for quantum groups at roots of unity. The characters of the irreducible representations of quantum groups at roots of unity are determined by certain (parabolic) Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials so they are, in principle, completely known and understood. I will give a survey about the current status of these two conjectures.

25.11. Jan Stovicek (MFF UK): TILTING IN STABLE HOMOTOPY THEORIES
The concept of a tilting module originated from Bernstein-Gelfand-Ponomarev reflection functors. Curiously, the reflection functors themselves have an easy interpretation in any reasonable stable homotopy theory and induce equivalences in this vastly generalized setting. The aim of the talk, which is based on recent joint work with Moritz Groth, is to explain this story.

18.11. Frederick Marks (Univ. Stuttgart) UNIVERSAL LOCALISATIONS AND TILTING MODULES FOR HEREDITARY RINGS
We study the interplay between universal localisations, as defined by Cohn and Schofield, and tilting modules in the context of hereditary rings. For finite dimensional algebras, we establish a bijection between finitely generated support tilting modules and finite dimensional universal localisations. As a consequence, the finitely generated tilting modules do all arise from universal localisation. This phenomenon is well known not to hold for arbitrary tilting modules over hereditary rings. Nevertheless, the methods involved in the classical setup allow us to find new criteria to decide whether a (possibly large) tilting module over a hereditary ring arises from localisation. This new approach, based on work in progress with Lidia Angeleri Huegel and Jorge Vitoria, will be discussed in the last part of the talk.

7.11. Sylvia Wiegand (University of Nebraska) : PRIME IDEALS IN NOETHERIAN POLYNOMIAL AND POWER SERIES INTEGRAL DOMAINS
Joint work with Ela Celikbas and Christina Eubanks-Turner
About sixty years ago, Irving Kaplansky asked the difficult question: "What partially ordered sets occur as the set of prime ideals of a Noetherian ring, ordered under inclusion?" Motivated by his question, we describe the set of prime ideals of mixed polynomial-power series rings of the form B = R[[x]][y]/Q, R[y][[x]]/Q or R[[x]][[y]]/Q, where R is a one-dimensional Noetherian domain, x and y are indeterminates, and Q is a height-one prime ideal of the appropriate ring with x \notin Q. Actually Spec(R[[x]][[y]]/Q) is somewhat easily characterized; and Spec(R[y][[x]]/Q) is similar to Spec(R[[x]][y]/Q). If R is a countable domain, our descriptions of Spec(R[y][[x]]/Q) and Spec(R[[x]][[y]]/Q) are characterizations.
If R is a countable one-dimensional domain with infinitely many maximal ideals, our possible descriptions for the partially ordered set Spec(R[[x]][[y]]/Q) can all be realized as Spec(Z[[x]][y]/Q), for an appropriate height-one prime ideal Q of Z[[x]][y], the mixed power series over the integers Z. We give some ideas of the proof using some counting techniques and an interesting property of Spec(Z[y]) observed by R. Wiegand in 1988. If time permits we may prove or discuss the partially ordered set SpecB, if R is a countable semilocal domain or if R is a Henselian ring.

We discuss the notion of slope over a canonical algebra of tubular type and focus on the modules of irrational slope. They are all infinite dimensional, and it turns out that they are determined by a tilting module, or dually, by a cotilting module. This also leads to classification results for indecomposable pure-injective modules.

15.7. John Baldwin (Univ. Illinois, Chicago): COMPLETENESS AND CATEGORICITY (IN POWER): FORMALIZATION WITHOUT FOUNDATIONALISM
This investigation arose as a contrast between the role of formal methods in usual model theory and what one might term ‘formalism-free’ methods in the study of AEC. Formalization has three roles: 1) a foundation for an area (perhaps all) of mathematics, 2) a resource for investigating problems in ‘normal’ mathematics, 3) a tool to organize various mathematical areas so as to emphasize commonalities and differences. We focus on the use of theories and syntactical properties of theories in roles 2) and 3). Formal methods enter both into the classification of theories and the study of definable set of a particular model. We regard a property of a theory (in first or second order logic) as virtuous if the property has mathematical consequences for the theory or for models of the theory. We argue that for second order logic, ‘categoricity’ of a theory (as opposed to categoricity of a specific axiomatization) has little virtue. For first order logic, categoricity is trivial. But ‘categoricity in power’ illustrates the sort of mathematical consequences we mean. One can lay out a schema with a few parameters (depending on the theory) which describes the structure of any model of any theory categorical in uncountable power. Similar schema for the decomposition of models apply to other theories according to properties defining the stability hierarchy. We describe arguments using properties, which essentially involve formalizing mathematics, to obtain results in ‘mainstream’ mathematics. We consider discussions on method by Kashdan, and Bourbaki as well as such logicians as Hrushovski and Shelah.

14.5. Moritz Groth (Radboud Univ.): STABLE GROTHENDIECK DERIVATORS AND CANONICAL TRIANGULATIONS
The theory of derivators (going back to Grothendieck, Heller, and others) provides an axiomatic approach to homotopy theory. It adresses the problem that the rather crude passage from model categories to homotopy categories results in a serious loss of information. In the stable context, the typice defects of triangulated categories (non-functoriality of cone constru-ction, lack of homotopy colimits) can be seen as a reminiscent of this fact. The simple but surprisingly powerful idea behind a derivator is that instead one should form homotopy catego-ries of various diagram categories and also keep track of the calculus of homotopy Kan extensions.
In this talk we cover some basics of derivators culminating in a sketch proof that stable derivators provide an enhancement of triangulated categories. Possibly more important than this result itself are the techniques developed along the way as they lay the foundations for further research directions. The aim of this talk is to (hopefully) advertise derivators as a convenient, 'weakly terminal' approach to axiomatic homotopy theory.

19.12. Vítězslav Kala (MFF UK and Purdue University): ASYMPTOTIC RESULTS IN THE LANGLANDS PROGRAM
The Langlands program is a series of conjectures that provide a common framework for a large part of modern number theory. Its goal is to relate representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields to certain analytic objects, automorphic representations. For example, a special case of this correspondence was proved by Wiles and Taylor as the main step of the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
In the talk, we will first give an overview and a motivation for the Langlands program, keeping the prerequisited minimal. Then we will discuss some recent asymptotic results on the number of various types of Galois and automorphic representations.

17.12. Sylvia Wiegand (University of Nebraska): PRIME IDEALS IN NOETHERIAN RINGS
Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. We consider the set Spec(R) of prime ideals of R as a partially ordered set, ordered by inclusion. Around 1950 Irving Kaplansky asked, "Which partially ordered sets arise as Spec(R) for some Noetherian ring R?" This question is completely open, even if only two-dimensional sets are considered, despite a large amount of work over the intervening years by many mathematicians, such as Hochster, Heitmann, Nagata, McAdam, and Ratli . In this talk, we describe prime spectra for some two-dimensional rings of polynomials and power series. This involves our work and work of William Heinzer, Christel Rotthaus, Roger Wiegand and our students.

10.12. Tibor Beke (University of Massachusets): A FUNCTORIAL VERSION OF SHELAH'S SINGULAR COMPACTNESS
Shelah's celebrated singular compactness theorem asserts that if G is a group whose cardinality is singular, and all subgroups of G are free, then G itself is free. Shelah's proof can be adapted to various other settings, including abelian groups, R-modules, filtered R-modules, colorings of infinite graphs, and transversals of systems of sets. It hasn't been clear whether there is a single statement unifying these applications and their various conclusions. This talk is a preliminary report on joint work with J. Rosicky on what seems to be the "most comprehensive" form of singular compactness. The proof is an adaptation of one of Shelah's arguments to the setting of accessible categories and functors.

We outline the basic project of abstract model theory, and introduce abstract elementary classes (AECs), which recommend themselves as an ideal context in which to investigate generalized classi-fication theory. We consider the ways in which they represent a shift in the direction of category theory, leading to the peculiar no-mans-land between abstract model theory and accessible categories currently being explored by T. Beke, J. Rosicky, and myself. Finally, we consider a few surprising results concerning AECs that arise as simple appli-cations of ideas from the realm of accessible categories.

On a real manifold M, a sheaf admits a micro-support SS(F), a closed conic co-isotropic subset of the cotangent bundle T^*M. In this talk, I will explain both constructions, describe their functorial properties, and explain their links.

We classify compactly generated co-t-structures in derived categories of commutative noetherian rings using a recent result of Alonso, Jeremias and Saorin. We also show that the collection of co-t-structures admitted by the category of perfect complexes is very restricted (joint work with J.Šťovíček).

8.10. Jan Triflaj (MFF UK): APPROXIMATIONS AND LOCALLY FREE MODULES
In 2003 Shelah set the first limits to approximation theory by showing independence of Whitehead groups being a precovering class. Recently, flat Mittag-Leffler modules over countable non-perfect rings were shown not to form a precovering class in ZFC.
We find a different proof of the latter fact which, combined with infinite dimensional tilting theory, makes it possible to trace the phenomenon to all countable hereditary artin algebras R of infinite representation type: We prove that the class of all locally Baer R-modules is not precovering (joint work with A.Slávik).

27.6. Ivo Dell'Ambrogio (Univ. Regina, Canada): A HOMOTOPICAL LOOK AT CLASSICAL MORITA THEORY
Quite recently, Gonçalo Tabuada and I have noticed a rather amusing little fact: there is a very nice Quillen model structure on the category of small preadditive categories, such that two rings become isomorphic in its homotopy category if and only if they are Morita equivalent, in the usual sense. Even better, we can use this to provide conceptual links on Morita equivalence, Picard groups, the Grothendieck group and (working relative to a base commutative ring) the notion of Azumaya algebra.

We will explain how to construct a cohomology theory governing deformations of algebras of specific types (associative, commutative, Lie, Poisson), and of diagrams of these algebras.
Our talk will emphasize the `practical' side and will focus on a `computational recipe' rather than an abstract theory. We will give many examples of deformation cohomology for algebras, morphisms of algebras and, more generally, diagrams of morphisms of algebras.

12.12. Jakub Bulín (MFF UK): ABSORBTION IN FINITE RELATIONAL STRUCTURES
The notion of absorbing subuniverse plays an increasingly important role in finite universal algebra and the algebraic approach to CSP. We will mention several applications of absorption and then discuss the following open problem: Given a finite relational structure A and a subset B of A, is it decidable if B is an absorbing subuniverse? We provide an affirmative answer in the case when A has bounded width (i.e., the algebra of polymorphisms of A generates a congruence meet-semidistributive variety). Our proof mimics the proof of Zadori's conjecture by Barto: the idea is to encode the problem as an instance of CSP(A).

17.10. Jan Trlifaj (MFF UK): MAXIMAL COHEN-MACAULAY MODULES AND TILTING FOR REGULAR LOCAL RINGS
Hochster´s conjecture says that maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules exist over any complete local commutative noetherian ring. In 1973 the conjecture was proved for rings of Krull dimension at most 2, but it is still open in general.
Recently tilting classes over commutative noetherian rings have been classified in terms of specialization closed subsets of the Zariski spectrum and the Auslander-Bridger transpose.
In this talk we will show that existence of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules yields an alternative description of the tilting classes, and derive some consequences for the structure of these modules using approximation theory.

4.8. Martin Zeman (Univ. California at Irvine, USA): ABSOLUTENESS OF THE CORE MODEL
Steel has proved that if there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal then it is possible to constuct a canonical iner model, the core model, that reflects all information about large cardinals in the set theoretic universe. In a joint result with Caicedo we show that if M is any proper class innner model that interprets the cardinal successor function correctly on a proper class of regular cardinals, then M is able to figure out the core model, modulo some random information. We also give local version of the result and an application in descriptive set theory.

2. G is self-small, i.e., the image of every homomorphism from G into a countable direct sum of copies of G is contained in finitely many of these copies.

11.4. Gabor Braun (Univ. Duisburg-Essen): PATHOLOGICAL DUAL GROUPS UNDER MARTIN'S AXIOM
Under Martin's axiom, the Baer--Specker group, Z^{\omega} has a large supply of dual groups, ie, groups of the form Hom(A,Z). These provide many pathological examples found by several authors. Eg, for every non-negative integer k, there is a reflexive group G, with G \cong G \oplus Z^n if and only if k divides n. There is also a group A whose nth dual is not an (n+1)st dual for all n.
All these are variations of the same construction, namely, a standard method to represent endomorphism rings adapted to dual groups. I will explain this technique, so the audience will be able to come up with its own pathological dual groups. Only basic knowledge of abelian groups is required to understand the lecture.

28.3. Jan Šťovíček (MFF UK): PROJECTIVE MODULES OVER NON-NOETHERIAN SEMILOCAL RINGS
In the talk, I will discuss a classification of tilting and cotilting classes over commutative noetherian rings, recently obtained jointly with Lidia Angeleri, David Pospisil and Jan Trlifaj. The classification is in terms of certain subsets of the Zariski spectrum of the corresponding ring.
To give a context, the tilting and cotilting modules in the talk are generalized infinitely generated versions of classical finite dimensional tilting and cotilting modules from representation theory. The main application of classical (co)tilting modules is that they give a precise description of homological similarities between different algebras (in terms of so-called derived equivalences). Although one can to some extent generalize these results even to our setting, the corresponding theory is in its infancy and will be mentioned only marginally. I will rather focus on the classification and some examples.

21.3. Pavel Příhoda (MFF UK): PROJECTIVE MODULES OVER NON-NOETHERIAN SEMILOCAL RINGS
It would be nice to understand the behavior of projective modules over a general ring. In general, it is not possible - for example any reduced monoid with an order unit can express a direct sum decompositions of finitely generated projective modules over a suitable ring. Even for some very classical examples it is not easy to give a classification of projective modules - for integers in number fields it means exactly to determine its ideal class groups.
For semilocal rings, the situation is rather different. K_0 of a semilocal ring was determined in the 90's by A. Facchini and D. Herbera. D. Herbera and I obtained a similar result for countably generated projective modules over noetherian semilocal rings. But the non-noetherian case is still not understood well. In this talk I will discuss examples (mostly due to D. Herbera) that can be obtained using pullbacks and a remarkable example of Gerasimov and Sakhaev - a semilocal ring having a non-finitely generated projective module with finitely generated factor modulo its Jacobson radical.

7.3. Martin Doubek (MFF UK): OPERADIC COHOMOLOGY
In many cases, algebras of a given type (e.g. associative, Lie,...) can be descr ibed as representations of an operad. The category of operads is non-abelian category carrying a model structure. Derived functor H of a certain functor Der(-,End_V) from this category provides a nice cohomology theory for algebras representing the given operad. Thus resolutions (cofibrant replacements) of operads are of interest. We review several results on construction and significance of these resolutions. In particular, we explain how resolution in the abelian category of operadic mod ules can be used to find a first order approximation for H.

3.3. Pedro Guil (Universidad de Murcia): HEREDITARY RINGS WITH FINITELY GENERATED COTORSION ENVELOPE
Let R be a left hereditary ring. We show that the left cotorsion envelope of R is finitely generated if and only if R is a semiperfect cotorsion ring. Our proof is based on set-theoretical counting arguments. We also discuss some possible extensions of this result as well as its connection with other open questions. (Joint work with Dilek Pusat. Izmir Institute of Technology, Turkey.)

28.2. Sergio Estrada (Universidad de Murcia): MODEL STRUCTURES ON CQCO(X) AND RELATED QUESTIONS
Let Qco(X) be the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme X. We will overview the recent results from [1] concerning the interlacing between model structures and cotorsion pairs of complexes of quasi-coherent sheaves. We will also recall the equivalence between the category Qco(X) and a certain category of diagrams of modules. Then we will consider the problem of finding nice generators of Qco(X): the existence of locally free, flat, and locally flat Mittag-Leffler generators of Qco(X).

22.11. Daniel Herden (Univ. Duisburg-Essen): PRESCRIBING ENDOMORPHISM RINGS OF ALEPH_N-FREE GROUPS 1
We want to investigate in ZFC the problem of constructing arbitrarily large aleph_n-free groups G (for a fixed natural number n) with End G = Z. Recall that G is aleph_n-free if every subgroup of size < aleph_n is free. By now it is folklore to construct such groups using additional set-theoretic axioms, most notably Jensen's diamond principle. If we insist on proving this result in ordinary ZFC, then the known arguments fail: Both Corner's method of adding algebraically independent elements and Shelah's Black Box provide for groups, which are at most aleph_1-free but always fail to be aleph_2-free. To overcome this obstacle we will present groundbreaking new combinatorial tools ready for application to a wide range of problems about aleph_n-free (n< omega) structures to be attacked and solved in the future. (Joint work with Ruediger Goebel and Saharon Shelah.)

In this talk I will describe generic models on one-relator groups, properties related to residual finiteness and known results also in the the case of one-relator groups with two generators. I will present tools used in the proof, coming from both combinatorial group theory and theory of Random Walks and Brownian motions. (Joint work with Mark Sapir.)
