A localisation theorem for singularity categories of proper dg algebras

Abstract

Given a recollement of three proper dg algebras over a noetherian commutative ring, e.g. three algebras which are finitely generated over the base ring, which extends one step downwards, it is shown that there is a short exact sequence of their singularity categories. This allows us to recover and generalise some known results on singularity categories of finite-dimensional algebras.

Section 3 is new, and in Section 4 the base ring is changed from a field to a commutative noetherian ring and in Section 6 the base ring is changed from a field to an arbitrary commutative ring
