Title |
Commutative algebra of functor categories |
Abstract |
Commutative algebra can be studied in the general context of a symmetric monoidal abelian category. I will explain some joint work with Andrew Putman and Andrew Snowden in this direction on the category of functors from a category made out of sets or vector spaces to the category of modules over a ring. In some cases, there are strong analogies: a version of the Hilbert basis theorem, rationality of Hilbert series, etc. Time permitting, I will indicate some applications to twisted homological stability for families of groups such as finite linear groups. |
