From Sheaf Cohomology to the Algebraic de Rham Theorem

Let X be a smooth complex algebraic variety with the Zariski topology, and let Y be the underlying complex manifold with the complex topology. Grothendieck's algebraic de Rham theorem asserts that the singular cohomology of Y with complex coefficients can be computed from the complex of sheaves of algebraic differential forms on X. This article gives an elementary proof of Grothendieck's algebraic de Rham theorem, elementary in the sense that we use only tools from standard textbooks as well as Serre's FAC and GAGA papers.Comment: 53 pages; this version replaces an earlier version submitted in August 2013.

Geometricity of the Hodge filtration on the ∞\infty-stack of perfect complexes over XDRX_{DR}

We construct a locally geometric $\infty$-stack $M_{Hod}(X,Perf)$ of perfect complexes with $\lambda$-connection structure on a smooth projective variety $X$. This maps to $A ^1 / G_m$, so it can be considered as the Hodge filtration of its fiber over 1 which is $M_{DR}(X,Perf)$, parametrizing complexes of $D_X$-modules which are $O_X$-perfect. We apply the result of Toen-Vaquie that $Perf(X)$ is locally geometric. The proof of geometricity of the map $M_{Hod}(X,Perf) \to Perf(X)$ uses a Hochschild-like notion of weak complexes of modules over a sheaf of rings of differential operators. We prove a strictification result for these weak complexes, and also a strictification result for complexes of sheaves of $O$-modules over the big crystalline site

Residue Complexes over Noncommutative Rings

Residue complexes were introduced by Grothendieck in algebraic geometry. These are canonical complexes of injective modules that enjoy remarkable functorial properties (traces). In this paper we study residue complexes over noncommutative rings. These objects are even more complicated than in the commutative case, since they are complexes of bimodules. We develop methods to prove uniqueness, existence and functoriality of residue complexes. For a noetherian affine PI algebra over a field (admitting a noetherian connected filtration) we prove existence of the residue complex and describe its structure in detail.Comment: 37 pages, AMSLaTeX with XYpic figures; some changes in Section 3; final version, to appear in Algebr.

Two-dimensional Id\`eles with Cycle Module Coefficients

We give a theory of id\`eles with coefficients for smooth surfaces over a field. It is an analogue of Beilinson/Huber's theory of higher ad\`eles, but handling cycle module sheaves instead of quasi-coherent ones. We prove that they give a flasque resolution of the cycle module sheaves in the Zariski topology. As a technical ingredient we show the Gersten property for cycle modules on equicharacteristic complete regular local rings, which might be of independent interest.Comment: major change in exposition, streamlined, removed incorrect claim about product map (many thanks to S. Gorchinskiy for pointing this out to me), bibliography update
