Resolutions of objects
What we do in the shadows
Generally we want to study an object Y which is linear in naturefor example a module over an algebra
A resolution of Y is loosely speaking a way to unpack Y into asequence of objects which are much more well behaved than Y
We relate these objects by a sequence of boundary maps Theseencode the ldquohomological propertiesrdquo of Y in a non-trivial way

Some examples
We can resolve modules over algebras by free modules Freemodules behave like vector spaces and this makes us happy We cando the same with bimodules
We can resolve algebras by differential graded algebras that are freeas an algebra Free algebras depend only on a vector space and thisalso makes us happy
Notation We will write (TX dX ) for a free algebra with a differentialand call a resolution of an algebra a model

Why do we like models
Resolving an algebra resolves in particular its representations wecan focus on understanding how to obtain models
Models are algebras which are non-linear in nature so they capturemore information than representations which are linear
They have been used to solve open problems like Hanrsquosconjecture [2] and the rational Ganea conjecture [3]

Anick chains combinatorics of syzygyes
If A = T 〈V |R〉 is an associative monomial algebra let us write X0 = Vfor its generators and X1 = R for its relations
Inductively define X2X3 by their bases C2C3 consisting ofmonomials called chains as follows
Definition A monomial m is an i-chain if the following holds
We can write m = m1m2 = mprime1mprime2 so that
m1 is an (i minus 1)-chain and mprime2 is a 1-chain
m2 is a proper right divisor of mprime2 and
no proper left divisor of m can be written so to satisfy the previousconditions

Anick chains useful examples
Example 1 Let us consider k〈t|t2〉 Then C0 = t C1 = t2 and ingeneral Cn = tn+1 for every n isin N0
Example 2 Let us consider k〈x y |x2 xy2〉 Then Cn = xn+1 xny2 foreach n isin N while C0 = x y
Example 3 Let us consider k〈x y z |xy2 y2z〉 Then C0 = x y zC1 = xy2 y2z C2 = xy2z xy3z and Cn = 0 for n gt 3

The bar construction syzygyes are homological
An important construction that can be extracted from an algebra A is thebar construction of A (BA dBA∆) It encodes syzygyes of A
We let BA be the free coalgebra on A so it is a sum kAAotimes2
The operator d is induced by the multiplication of A

The differential of BA
One can check that d2BA = 0 is equivalent to the fact A is associative
The operator ∆ is coassociative and makes BA into a dg coalgebra Wewrite TorA for its homology
Theorem (Anick and GreenndashHappelndashZacharia)
Chains give a basis of TorA for A a monomial algebra for eachr isin N0 we have that TorAr+1 Xr
Note There is a shift in the indices between X and TorA We willdenote this by saying that X = sminus1 TorA

What do we have so far
The spaces of chains X produced for us the generators of our model Butwe also need an operator dX How can this be obtained from A
Answer The space X was obtained from (BA∆ dBA) which is a dgcoalgebra It turns out that if we relate X and BA by some linear mapswe can build the new operator dX from this information

Algebraic discrete Morse theory
Algebraic discrete Morse theory developed by by Skoldberg [6] andJollenbeckndashWelker [4] solves our problem It ldquoremembersrdquo how we wentfrom BA to H(BA) = TorA its homology
Geometrically it tells us how to ldquokill contractible complexesrdquo in BA toobtain a model whose generators are H(BA) The picture we want is

and what it can do for you
Theorem (JollenbeckndashWelker)
If B is a complex of free modules and M is a Morse matching thereis a complex BM and maps
i BM rarr B p B rarr BM
such that pi = 1BM and ip is homotopic to the identity of B
In [4] the authors give a Morse matching M on BA so that (BA)M hasbasis the set of Anick chains This gives us the diagram we wanted

Interlude dg algebras
We can enhance associative algebras by introducing a grading and anoperator on them We care only about free algebras say TX
Grading We will assume X is a direct sum of Xi of subspaces Wecall Xi the ith graded piece of X
Differential We assume that we have an operator d TX rarr TX ofdegree minus1 such that d2 = 0 which satisfies the Leibniz rule
d(xy) = dx middot y + (minus1)|x|x middot dy
This rule means d is determined completely by its action on X

What is a model of an algebra
Given some dg algebra (TX d) the 0th homology H0(TX ) is a anassociative algebra We want to exhibit associative algebras in the formH0(TX ) where we additionally require that H+(TX ) = 0
Explicitly given an algebra T 〈V |R〉 we want to give
a graded vector space X
a map f TX rarr A and
a differential d on TX so that
the induced map Hf H(TX d)rarr A is an isomorphism

so what do we do with the retraction
Relevant data For our purposes it suffices to understand here

How these two operators act on TorA
Indeed the following result describes the differential in the minimalmodel with generators TorA in terms of these two operators

Transferring the structure to chains
Homotopy Transfer Theorem
Let C be a dga coalgebra (ex C = BA) and consider a retraction(i p h) to a complex p C rarr C prime as before Then there is aretraction (j q k) between dg algebras q T (sminus1C )rarr T (sminus1C )
This gives us what we want Indeed T (sminus1BA) is a (very big) model ofA but now we have a new model TX where X = sminus1 TorA is as smallas can be

How to pin down the differential Trees
For a given planar binary tree T let ∆T be the operator obtained bydecorating the root of T by i (inclusion TorA sube BA) its leaves by p(projection BArarr TorA) its internal edges by h and its vertices by ∆These define maps from X to TX
Theorem (Markl [5] and many others before)
We have that d |sX =sum
ngt2 ∆n where for each n isin N0 ∆n =sumT (minus1)ϑ(T )∆T as T ranges through all planar binary trees with
n leaves
Motivation Associative algebras GHZ-A ADMT dga algebras HTT and trees Main result
Some trees go away The comb remains
The explicit description of the differential in TX was simplified with thefollowing vanishing and exchange rules
Proposition (T)
If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)
Moreover h vanishes on TorA and h2 = 0 All this implies that∆T = 0 unless T is a right comb

Decompositions If γ is an r -chain in TorA a decomposition of γ is asequence (γ1 γn) of chains of length r1 rn such that
r1 + middot middot middot+ rn = r minus 1 (correct degree)
γ = γ1 γn (as monomials)
We say the decomposition has length n and call it an n-decomposition
Example The 2-chain xy2z has two 2-decompositions (x y2z) and(xy2 z) and no other decompositions The 1-chain xy2 has a single3-decomposition (x y y) and no other decompositions
Theorem (T)
If T is the right comb and γ is any chain then ∆T (γ) is a signedsum through all decompositions of γ

Application the Gerstenhaber bracket
If TX rarr A is a model of an algebra A one can compute Hochschildcohomology of A through derivations of TX
Fact The Gerstenhaber bracket in Hochschild cohomology is just the Liebracket on derivations So one can compute it easily if one can computeHHlowast(A) through a model Of course computing models is quite a task
One can also compute Hochschild homology and cyclic homology andother gadgets associated to these invariants

If A = T 〈V |R〉 is an associative monomial algebra let us write X0 = Vfor its generators and X1 = R for its relations
Inductively define X2X3 by their bases C2C3 consisting ofmonomials called chains as follows
Definition A monomial m is an i-chain if the following holds
We can write m = m1m2 = mprime1mprime2 so that
m1 is an (i minus 1)-chain and mprime2 is a 1-chain
m2 is a proper right divisor of mprime2 and
no proper left divisor of m can be written so to satisfy the previousconditions

How to pin down the differential Trees
For a given planar binary tree T let ∆T be the operator obtained bydecorating the root of T by i (inclusion TorA sube BA) its leaves by p(projection BArarr TorA) its internal edges by h and its vertices by ∆These define maps from X to TX
Theorem (Markl [5] and many others before)

The explicit description of the differential in TX was simplified with thefollowing vanishing and exchange rules
Proposition (T)
If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)
Moreover h vanishes on TorA and h2 = 0 All this implies that∆T = 0 unless T is a right comb

Why do we like models
Resolving an algebra resolves in particular its representations wecan focus on understanding how to obtain models
Models are algebras which are non-linear in nature so they capturemore information than representations which are linear
They have been used to solve open problems like Hanrsquosconjecture [2] and the rational Ganea conjecture [3]

Anick chains combinatorics of syzygyes
If A = T 〈V |R〉 is an associative monomial algebra let us write X0 = Vfor its generators and X1 = R for its relations
Inductively define X2X3 by their bases C2C3 consisting ofmonomials called chains as follows
Definition A monomial m is an i-chain if the following holds
We can write m = m1m2 = mprime1mprime2 so that
m1 is an (i minus 1)-chain and mprime2 is a 1-chain
m2 is a proper right divisor of mprime2 and
no proper left divisor of m can be written so to satisfy the previousconditions

The bar construction syzygyes are homological
An important construction that can be extracted from an algebra A is thebar construction of A (BA dBA∆) It encodes syzygyes of A
We let BA be the free coalgebra on A so it is a sum kAAotimes2
The operator d is induced by the multiplication of A

The differential of BA
One can check that d2BA = 0 is equivalent to the fact A is associative
The operator ∆ is coassociative and makes BA into a dg coalgebra Wewrite TorA for its homology

Chains give a basis of TorA for A a monomial algebra for eachr isin N0 we have that TorAr+1 Xr

What do we have so far
The spaces of chains X produced for us the generators of our model Butwe also need an operator dX How can this be obtained from A
Answer The space X was obtained from (BA∆ dBA) which is a dgcoalgebra It turns out that if we relate X and BA by some linear mapswe can build the new operator dX from this information

Definition A monomial m is an i-chain if the following holds
We can write m = m1m2 = mprime1mprime2 so that
m1 is an (i minus 1)-chain and mprime2 is a 1-chain

Application the Gerstenhaber bracket
If TX rarr A is a model of an algebra A one can compute Hochschildcohomology of A through derivations of TX
Fact The Gerstenhaber bracket in Hochschild cohomology is just the Liebracket on derivations So one can compute it easily if one can computeHHlowast(A) through a model Of course computing models is quite a task
One can also compute Hochschild homology and cyclic homology andother gadgets associated to these invariants

The plan
Principle of conservation of difficulty We want to resolve an algebraby some object (TX dX ) In general if we can pin down one of X or dXeasily a lot of work will be needed to pin down the other
Show that X can be described combinatorially in terms of Anickchains For example X0 = V X1 = R
Produce a datum that remembers how to compute X from aldquocanonical modelrdquo of A
Show that this datum determines dX and then the desired model(TX dX ) of A
Give explicit formulas for dX on generators

Definition A monomial m is an i-chain if the following holds
We can write m = m1m2 = mprime1mprime2 so that
m1 is an (i minus 1)-chain and mprime2 is a 1-chain

The differential of BA
One can check that d2BA = 0 is equivalent to the fact A is associative
The operator ∆ is coassociative and makes BA into a dg coalgebra Wewrite TorA for its homology
Theorem (Anick and GreenndashHappelndashZacharia)
Chains give a basis of TorA for A a monomial algebra for eachr isin N0 we have that TorAr+1 Xr
Note There is a shift in the indices between X and TorA We willdenote this by saying that X = sminus1 TorA

What do we have so far
The spaces of chains X produced for us the generators of our model Butwe also need an operator dX How can this be obtained from A
Answer The space X was obtained from (BA∆ dBA) which is a dgcoalgebra It turns out that if we relate X and BA by some linear mapswe can build the new operator dX from this information

How to pin down the differential Trees
For a given planar binary tree T let ∆T be the operator obtained bydecorating the root of T by i (inclusion TorA sube BA) its leaves by p(projection BArarr TorA) its internal edges by h and its vertices by ∆These define maps from X to TX
Theorem (Markl [5] and many others before)
We have that d |sX =sum

Some trees go away The comb remains
The explicit description of the differential in TX was simplified with thefollowing vanishing and exchange rules
Proposition (T)
If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)
Moreover h vanishes on TorA and h2 = 0 All this implies that∆T = 0 unless T is a right comb

This gives us what we want Indeed T (sminus1BA) is a (very big) model ofA but now we have a new model TX where X = sminus1 TorA is as smallas can be

How to pin down the differential Trees
For a given planar binary tree T let ∆T be the operator obtained bydecorating the root of T by i (inclusion TorA sube BA) its leaves by p(projection BArarr TorA) its internal edges by h and its vertices by ∆These define maps from X to TX
Theorem (Markl [5] and many others before)
We have that d |sX =sum
ngt2 ∆n where for each n isin N0 ∆n =sumT (minus1)ϑ(T )∆T as T ranges through all planar binary trees with
n leaves

Some trees go away The comb remains
The explicit description of the differential in TX was simplified with thefollowing vanishing and exchange rules
Proposition (T)
If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)
Moreover h vanishes on TorA and h2 = 0 All this implies that∆T = 0 unless T is a right comb

Theorem (JollenbeckndashWelker)
If B is a complex of free modules and M is a Morse matching thereis a complex BM and maps
i BM rarr B p B rarr BM
such that pi = 1BM and ip is homotopic to the identity of B
In [4] the authors give a Morse matching M on BA so that (BA)M hasbasis the set of Anick chains This gives us the diagram we wanted

How to pin down the differential Trees
For a given planar binary tree T let ∆T be the operator obtained bydecorating the root of T by i (inclusion TorA sube BA) its leaves by p(projection BArarr TorA) its internal edges by h and its vertices by ∆These define maps from X to TX
Theorem (Markl [5] and many others before)

The explicit description of the differential in TX was simplified with thefollowing vanishing and exchange rules
Proposition (T)
If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)
Moreover h vanishes on TorA and h2 = 0 All this implies that∆T = 0 unless T is a right comb

Interlude dg algebras
We can enhance associative algebras by introducing a grading and anoperator on them We care only about free algebras say TX
Grading We will assume X is a direct sum of Xi of subspaces Wecall Xi the ith graded piece of X
Differential We assume that we have an operator d TX rarr TX ofdegree minus1 such that d2 = 0 which satisfies the Leibniz rule
d(xy) = dx middot y + (minus1)|x|x middot dy
This rule means d is determined completely by its action on X

If h is the homotopy h BA minusrarr BA and ∆ is the (deconcatenation)of BA then
∆h = (h otimes 1)∆ mod (TorAotimesBA)

Motivation Associative algebras GHZ-A ADMT dga algebras HTT and trees Main result
The last of the trees and its action
Decompositions If γ is an r -chain in TorA a decomposition of γ is asequence (γ1 γn) of chains of length r1 rn such that
r1 + middot middot middot+ rn = r minus 1 (correct degree)
γ = γ1 γn (as monomials)
We say the decomposition has length n and call it an n-decomposition
Example The 2-chain xy2z has two 2-decompositions (x y2z) and(xy2 z) and no other decompositions The 1-chain xy2 has a single3-decomposition (x y y) and no other decompositions
Theorem (T)
If T is the right comb and γ is any chain then ∆T (γ) is a signedsum through all decompositions of γ

Description of the model
The end result is the following description of minimal models ofmonomial quiver algebras
Theorem (T)
For each monomial algebra A there is a minimal model(TX dX ) minusrarr A For a chain γ isin X
dX (γ) =sumngt2
(minus1)(n+12 )+|γ1|minus1γ1 middot middot middot γn
where the sum ranges through all possible decompositions of γ

A non-monomial example
The super Jordan plane is the associative algebra
k〈x y |x2 x2y minus yx2 minus xyx〉
Its minimal model has two generators xn yn in degree n for each n isin N0
corresponding to the ambiguities xn+1 and y2xn Its differential vanisheson degree 0 and for n isin N0 is as follows
dyn+1 = y2xn minus xny2 minus
sums+t=n
xsyxt minussum
s+t=ntgt1
(xsyt minus (minus1)tytxs)
dxn+1 =sum
s+t=n

Application the Gerstenhaber bracket
If TX rarr A is a model of an algebra A one can compute Hochschildcohomology of A through derivations of TX
Fact The Gerstenhaber bracket in Hochschild cohomology is just the Liebracket on derivations So one can compute it easily if one can computeHHlowast(A) through a model Of course computing models is quite a task
One can also compute Hochschild homology and cyclic homology andother gadgets associated to these invariants
