Topology Seminar

Topology Seminar talks are generally on Tuesdays at 11am, followed by an (optional) lunch with the speaker. This calendar also includes various learning seminars and meetings of the algebraic topology group.

In her thesis, Vesna Stojanoska showed that the self-duality of  Tmf comes from Grothendieck–Serre duality on the compactified moduli stack of elliptic curves. Her work hints that a six-functor formalism should exist in a derived setting.
Recent advances in solid condensed mathematics—especially work of Clausen–Scholze and Mann—make such a formalism for solid quasi-coherent sheaves on derived Deligne–Mumford stacks seem within reach.
I will discuss work in progress toward this goal, aiming to reinterpret Anderson duality as a homotopical version of Grothendieck–Serre duality. Proposition 3.15 of Devalapurkar’s The Lubin–Tate Stack and Gross–Hopkins Duality supports this perspective by proving an Anderson-duality statement for even-periodic derived schemes.
The objective is to extend this to derived Deligne–Mumford stacks: Specifically, if $f \colon X \to \mathrm{Spec}(S)$ is an even-periodic smooth derived DM stack and $I_{\mathbb{Z}}$ denotes the Anderson dualizing spectrum, then we expect $f^!(I_{\mathbb{Z}}) \in \mathrm{Pic}(X)$, interpreted within the solid condensed setting.
