Abstract:
We fix a
base field k and all algebras are assumed to
be basic k-algebras and regarded as finite
locally bounded k-categories. We start from
an original Galois covering of locally
bounded k-categories with a group G defined
by Gabriel, and generalize it to a
G-covering C --> C' for an arbitrary
k-categories with a G-action, which we
characterize by using a canonical G-covering
(P, f) from C to the orbit category C/G.
The
orbit category construction will be extended
to a 2-functor (-/G) from the 2-category
G-Cat of small k-categories with G-action to
the 2-category k-Cat of small k-categories,
which will be characterized as a left
adjoint to the diagonal 2-functor k-Cat -->
G-Cat sending each small k-category to
itself with the trivial G-action, and will
be shown that the canonical G-covering (P,
f) is a component of the unit of the
adjoint. Noting that a G-action of a
category C is nothing but a functor X from G
as the category with a single object * to
k-Cat with X(*) = C, the consideration above
will be generalized to functors (or more
generally colax functors) X from a small
category I to the 2-category k-Cat, which is
regarded as an I-diagram in k-Cat or an
I-action on X(i)'s (i objects in I), and the
collection of them can be extended to a
2-category Colax(I, k-Cat).
Then the
orbit category construction is generalized
to the Grothendieck construction Colax(I,
k-Cat) --> k-Cat, X |--> Gr(X) (Note that
Gr(X) is a single k-category for each X).
The class of objects of Gr(X) is the union
of the classes of objects of X(i)'s (i
objects in I) and Gr(X) is regarded as a
"gluing" of X(i)'s. We define a "module
category" Mod X and a "derived module
category" D(Mod X) of X in a natural way
that leads us a definition of derived
equivalences between X's. The main theorem
states that if two colax functors X and X'
from I to k-Cat are derived equivalent, then
so are Gr(X) and Gr(X'), which enables us to
glue derived equivalences between X(i) and
X'(i) (i objects in I) together to have a
derived equivalence between Gr(X) and
Gr(X').
