Given a cohomological functor from a triangulated category to an abelian category, we construct under appropriate assumptions for any localization functor of the abelian category a lift to a localization functor of the triangulated category. This discussion of Bousfield localization is combined with a basic introduction to the concept of localization for arbitrary categories.

Let C be an abelian or exact category with enough projectives and let P be the full subcategory of projective objects of C . We consider the stable category C/P modulo projectives, as a left triangulated category [14], [36]. Then there is a triangulated category S(C/P) associated to C/P, which is universal in the following sense. There exists an exact functor S : C/P -t S(C/P) such that any exa...

We introduce the concept of strict ample sequence in a fibered triangulated category and define the stability of the objects in a triangulated category. Then we construct the moduli space of (semi) stable objects by GIT construction.

We give a new characterization of smashing subcategories in a compactly generated triangulated category and prove a modiied version of Ravenel's telescope conjecture in this setting. Our results apply in particular to the stable homotopy category. Our approach, however, is purely algebraic; it is based on an analysis of pure injective objects in a compactly generated triangulated category.

We study a triangulated category of graded matrix factorizations for a polynomial of type ADE. We show that it is equivalent to the derived category of finitely generated modules over the path algebra of the corresponding Dynkin quiver. Also, we discuss a special stability condition for the triangulated category in the sense of T. Bridgeland, which is naturally defined by the grading.

We show that the category of orbits of the bounded derived category of a hereditary category under a well-behaved autoequivalence is canonically triangulated. This answers a question by Aslak Buan, Robert Marsh and Idun Reiten which appeared in their study [8] with M. Reineke and G. Todorov of the link between tilting theory and cluster algebras (cf. also [16]) and a question by Hideto Asashiba...

We ask when a finite set of t-structures in a triangulated category can be ‘averaged’ into one t-structure or, equivalently, when the extension closure of a finite set of aisles is again an aisle. There is a straightforward, positive answer for a finite set of compactly generated t-structures in a big triangulated category. For piecewise tame hereditary categories, we give a criterion for when ...

The quotient of a triangulated category modulo a subcategory was defined by Verdier. Motivated by the failure of the telescope conjecture, we introduce a new type of quotients for any triangulated category which generalizes Verdier’s construction. Slightly simplifying this concept, the cohomological quotients are flat epimorphisms, whereas the Verdier quotients are Ore localizations. For any co...
