Abstract.
It follows from the work of Burban and Drozd [6] that for nodal curves , the derived category of modules over the Auslander order provides a categorical (smooth and proper) resolution of the category of perfect complexes . On the A-side, it follows from the work of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich [10] that for punctured surfaces with stops at their boundary, the partially wrapped Fukaya category provides a categorical (smooth and proper) resolution of the compact Fukaya category . Inspired by this analogy, we establish an equivalence between the derived category of modules over the Auslander orders over certain nodal stacky curves and partially wrapped Fukaya categories associated to punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus equipped with stops at their boundary. As an application, we deduce equivalences between derived categories of coherent sheaves (resp. perfect complexes) on such nodal stacky curves and the wrapped (resp. compact) Fukaya categories of punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus.
Introduction
Let be a Liouville domain. There are two flavours of Fukaya categories (defined over ) that one can associate to :
[TABLE]
(Here, we are suppressing the extra choices of grading structures on and brane structures on the objects).
By construction, embeds as a full subcategory of , but there are also additional objects in corresponding to non-compact Lagrangians in .
On the other hand, given a scheme (or an algebraic stack) , one can associate two pre-triangulated DG-categories:
[TABLE]
In a previous work [17] (cf. [16]), the authors studied these categories for a -holed torus, and the standard (Néron) -gon (For , is the nodal projective cubic in ), and proved the homological mirror symmetry statement that identifies the following triangulated categories, all defined over :
[TABLE]
In recent years, a theory of partially wrapped Fukaya categories was developed ([2],[27], [10], [8]). This depends on an extra choice of a Legendrian submanifold at the boundary of . In the case that is (real) 2-dimensional, is simply determined by picking boundary marked points. In [10], Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich gave a combinatorial description of the resulting partially wrapped Fukaya categories when is a (real) 2-dimensional symplectic manifold with non-empty boundary and a choice of in its boundary. We will denote such partially wrapped Fukaya categories by
[TABLE]
since taking to be empty gives the wrapped Fukaya category .
In view of equivalence (0.2), involving the wrapped Fukaya category , it is natural to wonder about the homological mirror symmetry for the categories when and is a number of points on each boundary component of . We specify the choice of such points by a -tuple of integers . In dimension two, it follows by construction that depends only on the -tuple . More generally, for arbitrary we denote the partially wrapped Fukaya categories of the -holed genus surface with marked points on its boundary by
[TABLE]
Up to equivalence (and choice of grading structures), these are all the partially wrapped Fukaya categories in dimension two. When there is a repetition on , say, , we will use the abbreviation instead of writing consecutive ’s.
On the A-side, we describe our surfaces as built by taking a sequence of numbers (resp. ) and considering annuli with marked points, and connecting them via strips so as to form a chain (resp. a ring) of annuli. The way that the two neighbouring annuli are connected via strips are encoded by permutations . We find a generating set of Lagrangians of the partially wrapped Fukaya category adapted to this description and follow the combinatorial description given in [10] to explicitly compute a quiver algebra representing these categories. The permutations play a crucial role to access higher genus surfaces - if all of them were taken to be identity, then one would only get genus 0 or 1 surfaces.
On the B-side we consider categorical resolutions of the perfect derived categories of certain nodal stacky curves. The nodal stacky curves in question are slight generalizations of the balloon chains and rings introduced in [26]. We generalize to such curves the construction of Auslander orders given in the work of Burban and Drozd [6] for the usual nodal curves. These categories of modules over the Auslander orders turn out to match partially wrapped Fukaya categories for appropriate and .
Recall (see [26]) that a balloon , for , is a weighted projective line with two stacky points and such that , . The balloon chain (resp., balloon ring ) is the union of balloons (resp., ) glued along their stacky points so that they form a chain (resp., ring). It is also required that every node locally looks like the quotient of by the action of of the form for some . Note that in [26] only balanced stacky nodes were allowed (those with ). As we will see below, the extension to non-balanced case is crucial to construct mirrors to punctured surfaces of genus .
We denote the above balloon chain (resp., ring) by (resp., ), where describe the type of the stacky node connecting and .
In the case of we also allow the possibility for (resp., ): in this case (resp. ) denotes the weighted affine line (resp. ).
The Auslander order over a reduced curve is defined in [6] by the formula
[TABLE]
where is the push-forward of the structure sheaf of the normalization of and is the ideal sheaf of the singular locus. We apply the similar definition to our stacky curves and .
Now we can state our first main result. Let us work over a field .
Theorem A. For with and for , we have an equivalence
[TABLE]
where , , and
[TABLE]
For , with , we have an equivalence
[TABLE]
where and are defined in the same way as before, and
[TABLE]
*In both cases the equivalence holds for certain choice of grading on the partially wrapped Fukaya category (that depends on ’s). *
We observe that changing the gluing along nodes by varying the value of , mirrors the use of permutations in attaching strips between cylinders (though, this only covers certain permutations). In particular, the balanced nodes mirror attaching strips via identity permutation. Indeed, note that in the case of balanced nodes, i.e., when for all , for we get an equivalence involving genus [math] surface:
[TABLE]
For we get an equivalence involving genus surface:
[TABLE]
On the A-side one can also consider the infinitesimally wrapped Fukaya category (cf. [22])
[TABLE]
We have functors
[TABLE]
where the first two functors are full and faithful embeddings, and the last one is a localization functor to the quotient of by the full subcategory generated by objects supported near (see [10, Sec. 3.5]).
Let us denote by
[TABLE]
the full -subcategory consisting of direct sums of objects corresponding to Lagrangians that do not end on the boundary components with no marked points (i.e., such that the corresponding ). The notation is chosen to emphasize that this full -subcategory is the essential image of the full and faithful functor from the infinitesimally wrapped Fukaya category to partially wrapped Fukaya category. In Section 4.4 we also prove that there is a natural quasi-equivalence
[TABLE]
where stands for DG-category of exact functors.
As an application of Theorem A, we deduce an equivalence of the perfect derived category of (resp., the derived category of coherent sheaves on ) with the appropriate infinitesimally wrapped Fukaya category (resp., wrapped Fukaya category). In particular, we obtain simpler proofs of mirror symmetry for punctured surfaces of genus [math] and (see [1] and [17, Thm. B]), and we also get a homological mirror symmetry result for all surfaces of genus with at least one puncture.
Theorem B. For with and for , we have equivalences (with some choice of grading on the relevant Fukaya categories)
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where , is given by (0.4), and is the full subcategory in consisting of complexes with proper support (the condition on support is only needed if or ).
For , with , we have equivalences
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where and is given by (0.5). In particular, for any , choosing such that (such always exists), for every we get equivalences
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We stress that for equivalences of Theorem A and Theorem B to hold we choose specific line fields on the surfaces constructed from our data (resp., ). The Fukaya categories depend on these choices. Namely, we will see that the Fukaya categories considered will be equivalent to the derived category of modules of a certain graded algebra given as the endomorphism algebra of generating set of objects (see Section 2). Changing the line field would result in changing the grading of this algebra which will not in general be derived equivalent to the original algebra even though the underlying ungraded algebras are the same. Therefore, if different data lead to homeomorphic (marked) surfaces one cannot conclude in general that the corresponding Fukaya categories are equivalent. To determine which of these categories are equivalent one should study the action of the mapping class group on the homotopy classes of line fields. In a follow-up paper ([18]), we described explicitly invariants of line fields under this action. This leads to many interesting equivalences between the corresponding categories on the B-side, generalizing the known equivalences in the balanced case (see [25]).
Note that the B-model categories that previously appeared in homological mirror symmetry for higher genus surfaces were given in terms of matrix factorizations categories of some -dimensional Landau-Ginzburg models (cf. [1], [5], [14], [24]). In our picture the B-model categories are the usual derived categories associated with (commutative) stacky curves. This is more in line with the traditional homological mirror symmetry conjecture [12]. In the simplest cases the relation to the -dimensional Landau-Ginzburg models can be checked purely on the B-side via Knörrer periodicity.
We prove Theorem B by identifying (resp., ) with an explicit full subcategory (resp., localization) of , generalizing similar constructions by Burban-Drozd in the non-stacky case (see [6, Sec. 3,4]). We also show that looking at other localizations of one gets categorical resolutions of the categories (see Proposition 4.5.1).
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 1 we discuss Auslander orders on balloon chains and balloon rings and the categories of modules over them. The main result of this Section is Theorem 1.2.3 describing full exceptional collections on these stacky curves (generalizing the exceptional collection in the non-stacky case constructed in [6]). In Section 2 we find similar exceptional collections in the partially wrapped Fukaya categories of punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus and prove Theorem A. In Section 3 we consider objects in the partially wrapped Fukaya category supported near marked points of the boundary and identify the corresponding modules over Auslander orders. Finally, in Section 4 we identify the subcategory in the partially wrapped Fukaya categories corresponding under the equivalence of Theorem A to the subcategory , thus, proving Theorem B.
Everywhere in this paper we work over a fixed ground field (although our descriptions of Fukaya category are also valid over ).

1. Modules over Auslander orders
1.1. Burban-Drozd tilting for nodal curves
Let be a reduced projective curve, and let be its normalization. The Auslander order over is the order given by (0.3) where and is the ideal sheaf of the singular locus. We denote by the category of coherent left -modules.
Burban and Drozd have shown in [6] that if has only nodal or cuspidal singularities then the category has global dimension . Furthermore, if in addition all the components of are rational then they constructed a strong exceptional collection generating .
Let us recall the form of this exceptional collection in the case when is either a chain or a ring of ’s joined nodally (standard -gon). Let , , be the restriction of the normalization map to the irreducible components of , and let . For and we define an -module
[TABLE]
Also, for each node we have a simple -module
[TABLE]
It is proved in [6, Sec. 5] that the objects
[TABLE]
form a full strong exceptional collection and its endomorphism algebra has a simple presentation. Namely, in the case when is a chain, and the nodes are , with , the morphism spaces
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
generate the endomorphism algebra, with the defining relations
[TABLE]
In the case when is a ring and the nodes are , where , the description is the same for , with the convention that . In the case , the only difference is that and are elements of the same space , which is now -dimensional.
1.2. Auslander orders on stacky curves
Let be either a balloon chain or a balloon ring with the components , glued along the stacky nodes . Note that in the case of a balloon ring we view the index as an element of , whereas in the case of a balloon chain the nodes are .
We have a natural morphism from the disjoint union of the stacky projective lines and we set . We denote by the ideal sheaf of the union of the nodes. Then the Auslander order over is defined by the same formula (0.3). Let us define an -module by
[TABLE]
This module will play an important role later in connecting the category with and (see Propositions 3.2.3 and 4.1.3).
Balloons (where are examples weighted projective lines of [9]. The derived category of coherent sheaves on a balloon (where ) is generated by the exceptional collection of line bundles (see [9, Sec. 4]):
[TABLE]
Here the endomorphism algebra of this collection is simply the path algebra of the corresponding quiver.
In the rest of this section we assume that all are positive (i.e., we do not allow a balloon chain with or ). Let be the components of and let be the stacky points, with , so that and get glued into the node in (so ), and let be the natural projection. Then we have
[TABLE]
For integers and we set
[TABLE]
Note that . We have a decomposition of left -modules
[TABLE]
We claim that are exceptional objects in and that by restricting appropriately we get exceptional collections with the same endomorphism algebra as the corresponding exceptional collection on the balloon .
Lemma 1.2.1**.**
(i) The -modules are exceptional.
(ii) For one has .
(iii) For any we get an exceptional collection
[TABLE]
with the same endomorphism algebra as for the exceptional collection (1.1). We denote this exceptional collection as .
Proof. First, let us calculate . Note that this is a local calculation, so near the nodes we can use the presentation as a quotient of by . Thus, using the similar calculation in the non-stacky case (see [6, Cor. 5.5]), we derive that the above vanishes for , while for we get
[TABLE]
for appropriate line bundle on . Thus, we are reduced to a calculation of cohomology on the balloon , i.e., to the standard exceptional collection (1.1) on the balloon curve twisted by a line bundle. ∎
As in the non-stacky case, for each node we have a simple -module
[TABLE]
Recall that we assume that locally near each node we can identify with the quotient of by the action of of the form for some . Using this identification, locally we can view -modules as -equivariant modules over the Auslander order on . Thus, if we fix an identification then for every character of we have a twist operation on -modules supported at the node . For our stacky curves we fix identifications , where
[TABLE]
in such a way that acts on the fiber of at through its natural character (i.e., acts by mutliplication with ). Then there exists a unique such that acts on the fiber of at through the character . We include the parameters in the notation by writing (in the case of a balloon chain), or (in the case of a balloon ring). In the case of non-stacky nodes, i.e., when , we will either write or omit altogether.
Let
[TABLE]
be the coarse moduli for . Note that is either a chain or a ring of projective lines.
Let us say that a quasicoherent sheaf on is a generator of with respect to if for every quasicoherent sheaf on the natural map
[TABLE]
is surjective (see [23, Sec. 5]).
Assume is a balloon chain. For each collection of integers , where and , we define a line bundle on by gluing the line bundles on (note that this gluing is well defined because the automorphism group of the node acts on the fibers with the same character).
In the case when is a balloon ring the definition of line bundles is similar (we need as many numbers in the collection as there are stacky points in ). Note that in the case this means that we are descending the line bundle to .
Lemma 1.2.2**.**
The vector bundle is a generator of with respect to .
Proof. The question is local over , so it is enough to check that this is true near the stacky points. Then we can use the presentation as a quotient by the action of the cyclic group and [23, Prop. 5.2]. ∎
Theorem 1.2.3**.**
Consider the stacky curve or , where all . For each , let us fix a pair of integers . In the case when is a balloon ring we view indices as elements of . Then the category is generated as a triangulated category by the strong exceptional collection consisting of the two types of objects:
- •
* where is a node with , ;*
- •
for each , the objects of the exceptional collection (see (1.3)).
The endomorphism algebra of this exceptional collection is generated by the morphisms , within each subcollection (which are the same as in (1.3)), as well as the -dimensional spaces
[TABLE]
The defining relations are and whenever the composition is possible.
Proof. We already know that the -modules are exceptional and have calculated the relevant morphisms between them (see Lemma 1.2.1). Computation of morphisms involving can be done locally near the node . Note that near we have a presentation of our stacky curve as , where is a neighborhood of the node in the plane curve . Thus, we are reduced to the computation of -groups in the category of -equivariant -modules. From the non-stacky case considered in [6, Sec. 5] we know that the only relevant nontrivial -class in the category of -modules is the class of the extension
[TABLE]
where is the ideal sheaf of . Furthermore, this extension gives a -equivariant class. Thus, the only nontrivial morphisms involving for are one-dimensional spaces for and for . Next, to find morphisms involving , we tensor the exact sequence (1.4) by line bundles of the form on . Namely, it is easy to see that
[TABLE]
where . Thus, we get nontrivial elements in for and in for . This easily implies the asserted form of the endomorphism algebra of our collection (one has to use the fact that the morphisms (resp., ) are isomorphisms near (resp., )).
Let be the triangulated subcategory generated by our exceptional collection. The fact that the exceptional collection (1.1) on each balloon is full implies that for every coherent sheaf on we have
[TABLE]
This immediately implies that is closed under tensoring operation on -modules, where is any line bundle on . Indeed, the objects have the form as in (1.5), whereas is isomorphic to for some .
Also, (1.5) implies that . Now the exact sequence
[TABLE]
shows that . Hence, by (1.2), we derive that .
Now let be an ample line bundle on . Then Lemma 1.2.2 implies that the line bundles , where , are generators for (in the sense that the orthogonal is zero; cf. the proof of [6, Thm. 5.10]). It follows that the -modules are generators for . Since all these objects are in , this finishes the proof that our exceptional collection is full. ∎
2. Explicit computations of partially wrapped Fukaya categories
We will next describe several partially wrapped Fukaya categories explicitly by exhibiting generating sets of objects and the endomorphism algebras of these objects. The combinatorial description provided in [10] implies that if is a surface with non-empty boundary and is a choice of marked points at its boundary, then a set of pairwise disjoint and non-isotopic Lagrangians in generates the partially wrapped Fukaya category as a triangulated category if the complement of the Lagrangians is a union of disks each of which has exactly one marked point on its boundary. Furthermore, in this case, the algebra
[TABLE]
is formal, and it can be described by a graded quiver with quadratic monomial relations. The generators of this quiver can easily be described following the flow lines corresponding to rotation around the boundary components of connecting the Lagrangians. Note that each boundary component of is an oriented circle (where the orientation is induced by the area form on ). The data of enters by disallowing flows that pass through a marked point. The algebra structure is given by concatenation of flow lines. Finally, we need to prescribe a choice of a grading structure. A general definition of assigning gradings is explained in detail in [10, Sec. 2.1]. The extra structure needed to define a grading is a section of the projectivized tangent bundle of , which we view as an unoriented line field . Such line fields form a torsor for and the connected components can be identified with . In practice, for example when one uses a generating set of objects as above, one could apply the recipe from [10, Sec. 3.2]: if a set of generators bound a disk then one must have , and if a surface is glued together from disks, choosing gradings compatible with these constraints for each disk defines a global grading structure. Since our surfaces are glued together from disks which have at least one marked point along the boundary, the above constraint never arises when one looks at morphisms between only, so we deduce that the gradings for (primitive) arrows on the associated quiver can be assigned arbitrarily. We will choose a grading so that all of the arrows in the quiver have degree 0. This choice corresponds to the line field which is homotopic to the constant line field on the page everywhere in the pictures below.
Finally, we note that given and , any homeomorphism mapping to bijectively and such that is homotopic to , induces a triangulated equivalence of corresponding partially wrapped Fukaya categories [10, Prop. 3.2].
2.1. Computation of and
We begin with two simple cases, which are well known ([10], [26]).
In Figure 1 we have a genus 0 surface with 1 boundary component, in other words, a disk , together with marked points on its boundary. Furthermore, we depicted objects from . These objects do not intersect at the interior of , thus the only morphisms between them are given by flow lines along the boundary of . However, the marked points on the boundary serve as stops, hence the endomorphism algebra of the object is given by the quiver as in Figure 2 with relations for . We grade the Lagrangians so that all the morphisms have degree for .
A useful observation given in [10, Sec. 3.3] is that we do not need to include the object which is supported near the marked point , since is quasi-isomorphic to the twisted complex:
[TABLE]
Futhermore, in fact, generate the partially wrapped Fukaya category since the union of cuts into disks each of which has exactly one marked point.
Next, we give an explicit presentation of the category . In Figure 3 we have a genus 0 surface with 2 boundary components, with marked points on the inner circular boundary component and marked points on the outer circular boundary component. We also depicted objects, which are labeled and . For notational convenience, we have the equalities and . Again, by [10, Lem. 3.3], since the complement of these objects consists of disks each of which has exactly one marked point, these objects generate the category .
The corresponding endomorphism algebra between the generators is the path algebra of the quiver drawn below.
[TABLE]
We will next describe how to glue several copies of to obtain more interesting computations. We start with the following special case.
2.2. Computation of the partially wrapped Fukaya category for linear gluing
We next study the case of a genus [math] surface where two of the boundary holes are distinguished and allowed to have arbitrarily many marked points. We denote the number of these marked point by and . The remaining boundary holes have exactly marked points each.
As auxiliary data, we choose positive integers so that the total number of holes is
[TABLE]
We consider the derived category of which depends only on the numbers , and . However, we use the choice of in constructing a strong exceptional collection as in Figure 4.
It is easy to observe from Figure 4 that the complement of the Lagrangians drawn consist of disks with precisely one marked point at each boundary. Hence, the objects drawn generate the partially wrapped Fukaya category . The corresponding quiver algebra is given in Figure 5. The only relations are given by the quadratic relations
[TABLE]
whenever the composition is possible.
Next, we are going to modify our surface along with the exceptional collection. One can note from Figure 5 that there are full and faithful embeddings
[TABLE]
for . Indeed, the genus 0 surface in Figure 4 is constructed by connecting annuli along strips which are given by tubular neighborhoods of curves . Now, in attaching these strips a choice is made: the strips are attached in the most obvious way as in the left part of Figure 6. In general, a more complicated attachment of these strips are encoded by a sequence of permutations where is the permutation group on elements. The effect of a transposition on the construction of the surface is described in Figure 6. In general, this will change the topological type of the surface. An example is given in Figure 7. We omit the proof of the following elementary proposition which determines the topological type of the resulting surface and the distribution of the marked points in terms of the data of the permutations used in attaching the strips.
Proposition 2.2.1**.**
Suppose that the attachments of strips are made using the set of permutations , and let , be the set of permutations given by for all . The number of boundary components of the resulting surface is equal to
[TABLE]
where is the number of -cycles in the cycle decomposition of . We have two special boundary components, equipped with and components respectively. The remaining components are in bijection with the cycles in cycle decompositions of for . A component corresponding to a -cycle is equipped with marked points.
Finally, the genus of can be computed using the following formula for the Euler characteristic of given by:
[TABLE]
∎
Note that changing the permutations does not affect the Euler characteristic of the underlying topological surface since different permutations are related by cutting and gluing the strips. Note also that by [10, Thm. 5.1], the Grothendieck group is isomorphic to and the rank of the latter group is given by
[TABLE]
when . Using Prop. 2.2.1, this number can be computed in the above case as:
[TABLE]
which is equal to the number of objects given in Figure 5 as it should.
The resulting algebra of our generators has a quiver description that is very similar to Figure 5. The only modification needed is in the target of the maps . Namely, if we modify the attaching strips according to a permutation , then in Figure 5, we need to let
[TABLE]
2.3. Computation of the partially wrapped Fukaya category for circular gluing
We start with the case of a punctured torus and then will consider a modification leading to higher genus surfaces.
In Figure 8 we depicted the -punctured torus with -marked points at each boundary components. As before, we choose auxiliary data given by integers and we also write . The derived category of only depends on the total number of holes
[TABLE]
Note that each boundary hole has exactly 2 marked points.
Again, it is easy to observe from Figure 8 that the complement of the Lagrangians drawn consists of disks with precisely one marked point at each boundary. Hence, the objects drawn generate the partially wrapped Fukaya category . The corresponding quiver algebra is given in Figure 9. The only relations are given by the quadratic relations
[TABLE]
whenever the composition is possible.
As in Section 2.2, we can do a more complicated attachment of bands that form the tubular neighborhood of the objects using a set of permutations . The topology of the resulting surface is determined by the following analogue of Prop. 2.2.1.
Proposition 2.3.1**.**
Suppose that the attachments of strips are made using the set of permutations , and let , be the set of permutations given by for all . The number of boundary components of the resulting surface is equal to
[TABLE]
where is the number of -cycles in the cycle decomposition of . The boundary components are in bijection with the cycles in cycle decompositions of for , where a component corresponding to a -cycle is equipped with marked points.
Finally, the genus of can be computed using the following formula for the Euler characteristic of given by:
[TABLE]
∎
Again by [10, Thm. 5.1], the rank of the Grothendieck group can be computed in the above case as:
[TABLE]
which is equal to the number of objects given in Figure 5 as it should.
Finally, as in the previous section, the resulting algebra of our generators has a quiver description that is very similar to Figure 9. The only modification needed is in the target of the maps . Namely, if we modify the attaching strips according to a permutation , then in Figure 9, we need to let
[TABLE]
Proof of Theorem A: case for all . The required equivalences are established by matching the exceptional collections and their endomorphism algebras: see Theorem 1.2.3 and Sections 2.2 and 2.3. Specifically, in Theorem 1.2.3 we set and for all . Let us assume first that . We use the correspondence
[TABLE]
to identify the endomorphism algebra of the exceptional collection of Theorem 1.2.3 with the one for the marked surface constructed in Section 2.2 using the permutations
[TABLE]
of . We have
[TABLE]
which means that the cycle decomposition of has cycles of length . It remains to use the formula for the genus from Proposition 2.2.1.
The case is considered similarly using the results of Section 2.3. ∎
Remark 2.3.2**.**
If we use other in Theorem 1.2.3 we get a homeomorphic surface. This follows from the fact that the commutator does not change if we replace by .
We will finish the proof of Theorem A in the case when either or in Section 3.2 after Proposition 3.2.2.
3. Localization
3.1. Localization on the A-side
In [10, Sec. 3.5] it was proved that removing a marked point on a boundary component corresponds to localization of the partially wrapped Fukaya category given by taking the quotient (in the derived sense, cf. [7]) by the subcategory generated by objects supported near the boundary marked point. The latter subcategory is generated by a single object in this dimension and this object is exceptional if and only if there is another marked point on the same boundary component.
In Section 2 we computed some categories in terms of generating exceptional collections, starting from either a linear data with and or a circular data with and .
We can now use localization to compute for any . To do this, we will identify the objects supported near each marked point in terms of our generators. This is easily done by using the determination of given in Section 2.1 and the cosheaf property of wrapped Fukaya categories proved in [10, Sec. 3.6].
In the cases at hand, the cosheaf property gives functors from , resp. , to the categories corresponding to triangular and rectangular, regions depicted in Figure 10 illustrating the case where . The case of non-trivial is similarly covered with triangular and rectangular regions. Thus, using the twisted complex from Eq. 2.1, we can identify the objects supported near each marked point in terms of our generators.
In the case of linear data the and marked points on the distinguished boundary components give objects and supported near them. Using the functors from , we conclude that these are given by the complexes:
[TABLE]
All other boundary points give objects and for and . Using the functors from , these can be expressed as iterated cones:
[TABLE]
In the case of circular data we have a similar situation. The objects supported near the marked points are labeled by for and , where is considered as an element in . There are only functors from and these give iterated cones as before:
[TABLE]
3.2. Localization on the -side
For each node and (in the case of balloon chain) each smooth stacky point on we consider some simple -modules which turn out to be exceptional objects in the derived category.
Namely, for and integer , we have -modules

which fit into exact sequences
[TABLE]
Note that is supported at the point . In the case when this point is not a node we set .
If is a node then we observe that there are natural inclusions and . Now we define the simple -module as the corresponding quotient. Thus, we have exact sequences
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We claim that is an exceptional object precisely when this point is either a node or has a nontrivial stacky structure.
Lemma 3.2.1**.**
Unless is a smooth point with trivial stacky structure, the object is exceptional.
Proof. To calculate morphisms involving we can restrict to a formal neighborhood of the point . Also, tensoring with a line bundle of the form we reduce to the case . Assume first that this point is a node , so that a neighborhood of is isomorphic to the stack quotient of by , where .
Consider first the case when . Then the completion of at can be identified with the completion of the path algebra of the following quiver with relations:
[TABLE]
(see [6, Rem. 2.7]). Furthermore, the simple -module corresponds to the middle vertex, while and correspond to two other vertices. The projective resolutions of have the form (see [6, Rem. 2.7])
[TABLE]
where (resp., ) is the projective cover of (resp., . Computing using these resolutions we immediately deduce that are exceptional.
In the case of a node with the modules and correspond to the simple modules on the formal neighborhood of a node in , viewed as -equivariant -modules, so the above computation can still be applied.
Finally, in the case when is a smooth stacky point, the fact that is exceptional follows immediately from the locally projective resolution (3.7). ∎
Proposition 3.2.2**.**
Under the equivalence of Theorem A (obtained using Theorem 1.2.3 with , ), the -modules , for (resp., for ), correspond to the objects (resp., ) in the wrapped Fukaya category (see Sec. 3.1).
Proof. Let denote the direct sum of all the objects of our exceptional collection in . We are going to describe the right modules over the endomorphism algebra of our exceptional collection associated with (resp., ). Assume first that our object is supported at a node (resp., ). Note that as before, the computation can be done locally near this node, so we can use -equivariant modules (where ) over the completion of the Auslander order at the node of , and our object is the simple object (resp., ) with some equivariant structure. Thus, we get that the only nontrivial spaces of morphisms from modules of the form from our collection are
- •
the -dimensional space (resp., );
- •
in the case (resp., ), the -dimensional space (resp., ).
Also, we have a -dimensional extension space
[TABLE]
which comes from the locally projective resolution (1.4) of (as in the proof of Theorem 1.2.3, we use tensoring with line bundles ). Furthermore, the generator of this -space is obtained as the composition of the natural morphisms
[TABLE]
In the case (resp., ), we also have similar nonzero compositions of the -classes (resp., ) with the maps (resp., ).
Thus, we see that the module (resp., ) is always concentrated in degree [math]. In the case (resp., ) it is generated by a single element
[TABLE]
In the case (resp., ) the generator is
[TABLE]
In either case the defining relation is that (resp., ) whenever the composition is possible.
In the case when our object is supported at a stacky point (which can happen when is a balloon chain) there are no nonzero morphisms from objects of the form , so the module (resp., ) is still generated by the same elements (resp., ) as above, with the defining relations and (resp., and ) whenever the composition is possible.
Using the representations by complexes (3.1)–(3.6) it is easy to compute the modules corresponding to the objects on the A-side. This gives the required matching. ∎
Proof of Theorem A: case or . Assume that , so that is the affine line with one stacky point. In this case we can view as an open substack in , namely the complement to the point . Note that the object in this case is given by the module . Since is isomorphic near to the matrix algebra over , it follows that the restriction functor
[TABLE]
identifies with the quotient of by the Serre subcategory generated by . Hence, by the main result of [20], we have an equivalence of derived categories
[TABLE]
Using the behavior of the partially wrapped Fukaya categories upon deleting one marked point (see Sec. 3.1) and Proposition 3.2.2, we see that the equivalence of with implies an equivalence of with .
The case when is considered similarly. ∎
Next, using the approach of [6, Sec. 4], we would like to prove the equivalence of the quotient category of by all of the objects , supported at the nodes, with .
Let us denote by the subcategory formed by direct sums of all the objects supported at the nodes.
Proposition 3.2.3**.**
The subcategory is a Serre subcategory. The functor
[TABLE]
is exact and identifies with the Serre quotient . Similarly, the corresponding derived functor identifies with the Verdier quotient of by the triangulated (equivalently, thick) subcategory generated by .
Proof. The assertion about derived categories is a consequence of the assertion about abelian categories (see [20]). In the non-stacky case the assertion about abelian categories was proved in [6, Thm. 4.8]. Using the identification of near a node with the quotient of the non-stacky nodal curve by , one can check that the same proofs goes through in our case. Namely, as in the proof of [6, Thm. 4.8], first one constructs some adjoint functors, then reduces the assertion to proving that some natural transformations are isomorphisms and then checks the last assertion locally. ∎
4. Perfect derived categories
4.1. Perfect derived category on the B-side
Lemma 4.1.1**.**
Let be the completion of a path algebra of a finite quiver with relations. Assume that is Noetherian and has finite cohomological dimension. For every vertex we denote by (resp., ) the simple -module at the vertex (resp., the projective -module generated by the idempotent in corresponding to ). Then for any subset of vertices of one has the equality of full triangulated subcategories in the bounded derived category of finitely generated -modules, ,
[TABLE]
Proof. Clearly we have for and . Conversely, let be a bounded complex in the left orthogonal of . We will prove that is in by induction on the length of . For the base of induction, let us assume that is an object of the abelian subcategory . Then the fact that for all implies the existence of a surjection with a direct sum of finitely many with . Let us consider an exact sequence
[TABLE]
Then is still in the left orthogonal and has smaller projective dimension than . So, continuing in this way we deduce that . Now for the step of induction, assume that is a complex . It is easy to see that the condition implies that . Thus, there exists a surjection , with a finite direct sum of with . Let us lift it to a map and extend to the chain map of complexes of -modules
{M^{a}}$${\cdots}$${M^{b-2}}$${M^{b-1}}$${M^{b}}$${N^{a}}$${\cdots\ }$${N^{b-2}}$${N^{b-1}}$${N^{b}}$$\operatorname{id}$$\operatorname{id}$$f$$=P
where the rightmost square is cartesian and for . It is easy to see that the chain map is a quasi-isomorphism. We have an exact sequence of complexes
[TABLE]
where is a complex of length one less than . From this exact sequence we derive that is in the left orthogonal of . By the induction assumption, this implies that it is in . Now the same exact sequence shows that (and hence, ) is in . ∎
Lemma 4.1.2**.**
Let be the completion of the Auslander order of the curve at the node, which we identify with the completed path algebra of the quiver (3.8).
(i) One has
[TABLE]
(ii) The following subcategories in coincide:
- •
the triangulated subcategory generated by ;
- •
the left orthogonal of ;
- •
the right orthogonal of .
Proof. (i) By the symmetry of the quiver (3.8), it is enough to prove the first equality. By Lemma 4.1.1, we have
[TABLE]
It remains to prove the equality
[TABLE]
Calculating using the projective resolution (3.9) one can easily check that . To show that is generated by and we use the left adjoint functor to the inclusion. It is enough to check that the image of any projective module under is in . We have , , so it remains to calculate . The resolution (3.9) shows that the space is -dimensional and is concentrated in degree . Furthermore, from the same projective resolution we see that is represented by the complex , which is in .
(ii) By part (i), it is enough to prove the assertion about the left orthogonal of . Since the algebra is Noetherian and has finite cohomological dimension (see [6, Sec. 2]), the required equality follows from Lemma 4.1.1. ∎
Let us now return to the setup of Section 1.2 and consider the functor
[TABLE]
Recall that we denote by the subcategory formed by direct sums of all the objects supported at the nodes. In the non-stacky case the following result is essentially [6, Prop. 2.8].
Proposition 4.1.3**.**
(i) The functor (4.1) is fully faithful. Its essential image is the subcategory
[TABLE]
consisting of all objects right (resp., left) orthogonal to all objects in .
(ii) Assume that where all and either or . Define by
[TABLE]
Let be the triangulated subcategory generated by and by those of the objects that are supported at . Then the functor (4.1) induces an equivalence of
[TABLE]
with the compactly supported perfect derived category .
Proof. (i) Lemma 4.1.2 implies that an object belongs to (resp., ) if and only if for every node , the object , viewed as a -equivariant -module (where is the completion of the Auslander order of the curve at the node), after forgetting the -equivariant structure, belongs to the subcategory generated by . The rest of the proof is similar to that of [6, Prop. 2.8].
(ii) If then is isomorphic to the matrix algebra near , and is an -module corresponding to . This easily implies that an object is left or right orthogonal to if and only if its support does not contain . Since the support is closed, this is equivalent to the condition that belongs to the essential image of the natural fully faithful embedding
[TABLE]
The cases when or are considered similarly. ∎
4.2. Characterization on the A-side
Under the equivalence of Theorem A, the triangulated subcategory for (resp. ) corresponds to the subcategory of generated by the objects for and for (resp. for and .).
We next give a nice characterization of the subcategory as a triangulated subcategory of . Recall that by the geometricity result of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich [10, Thm. 4.3], every indecomposable object in is represented by an admissible Lagrangian (with a local system). Let be the subcategory of generated by the Lagrangians supported near the marked points at the boundary component, see Figure 11 for the case .
Proposition 4.2.1**.**
The triangulated subcategory of given by objects corresponding to Lagrangians (with local systems) that do not end on the boundary component (where there are marked points) coincides with .
Proof.
For simplicity of exposition we assume , but the general argument is very similar for any . Let us denote by the morphism complexes in the partially wrapped Fukaya category and by their cohomology. It suffices to prove that a geometrically represented indecomposable object of is in if and only if is either compact or if does not have ends on the boundary component. Recall that the subcategory is generated by the objects supported near the marked points at the boundary components with two marked points, By choosing the representatives for sufficiently near the marked points, we can ensure that they are disjoint from a given object . Thus, if is compact or does not end at the boundary component near which is situated, then . Now suppose ends at the boundary component near which is supported. This boundary component has 2 marked points, let us distinguish the two components in the complement of these 2 marked points. Now, if precisely one of the end points of lies on one of these boundary components, then either both and are of rank 1 or both and are of rank 1, because in either case the chain complexes are of rank 1. In the case both of the end points of lie on the same boundary component, say between and along the orientation of the flow, we have morphisms as follows (see Figure 12) :
[TABLE]
Thus, the chain complexes are of rank 2. We claim that in fact the differential on either of these complexes is zero. We will show this by passing to a cover.
Since is assumed to be a non-zero object, it cannot be represented by a boundary parallel curve, hence there exists a cover of such that we can find lifts and , and such that only one end of lies in the region between and as illustrated in Figure 12. The morphisms between these lifts are as follows:
[TABLE]
The covering map gives a functor
[TABLE]
sending and , and it induces an isomorphism of rank 1 modules
[TABLE]
by our choice of lifts of .
Finally, we note that there exists a non-trivial product map
[TABLE]
given by , which is mapped to a non-trivial product:
[TABLE]
Hence, it follows that the modules and are non-trivial, as required. ∎
By repeatedly applying Prop. 4.2.1 we get the following result.
Corollary 4.2.2**.**
(i) In the case of linear data, let be the subcategory of generated by the objects for and for . Assume that all . Then the subcategory coincides with .
(ii) In the case of circular data, let be the subcategory of generated by the objects for and . Then the subcategory coincides with .
4.3. Proof of Theorem B
Assume first that all . By Proposition 3.2.2, the image of the subcategory under the equivalence of Theorem A consists of Lagrangians supported near the interior boundary components. Now Proposition 4.1.3(i) and Corollary 4.2.2 imply that the image of , embedded into via (4.1), corresponds under the equivalence of Theorem A precisely to in the case when (resp., in the case when ).
In the case when and we use the characterization of the embedding
[TABLE]
and Proposition 4.1.3(ii). If then we use the embedding
[TABLE]
The equivalences involving follow from Proposition 3.2.3 and the corresponding fact about partially wrapped Fukaya categories (see Sec. 3.1). ∎
4.4. Dualities
It is known that for a scheme , proper over a field , one has the duality equivalences (see [4]):
[TABLE]
where stands for DG-category of exact functors.
Thus, the homological mirror symmetry equivalences (0.1), (0.2) for imply the same duality between and (where we take Fukaya categories with coefficients in ).
For a general Weinstein domain , one expects to have an equivalence:
[TABLE]
The analogue of this statement in the world of microlocal sheaves is known [21]. Also, a weaker but in many cases equivalent statement was proved in [8, Thm. 4].
On the other hand, the full duality statement is false in general, i.e., one cannot always recover from . For example, this is the case when and is not simply-connected.
More generally, one expects the following duality (cf. [21]):
[TABLE]
We can prove such duality for the categories considered in this paper.
Proposition 4.4.1**.**
There is a natural quasi-equivalence
[TABLE]
Proof. In the case when all are positive we have and this category is smooth and proper (see [10, Prop. 3.4]), which implies the needed self-duality (see [28, Sec. 5.4]).
Now suppose that and for . Let us set for brevity , . By Proposition 4.2.1, we can identify with in , where is generated by objects supported near the marked points of the first boundary components. On the other hand, we have an equivalence
[TABLE]
(see Section 3.1). Hence, by the property of dg-quotients (see [7, Thm. 1.6.2]), we have a quasi-equivalence of with the full subcategory of consisting of the functors annihilating . But by [10, Prop. 3.4], is smooth and proper, so we can identify the latter subcategory with , hence, with . ∎
4.5. Categorical resolutions of
Proposition 4.5.1**.**
Let be the triangulated subcategory generated by a collection of objects (where ), supported at the nodes. Assume that for every , the set contains at most one of the objects , where . Then the subcategory is admissible, and the composed functor
[TABLE]
is fully faithful.
Proof. We claim that a collection can be ordered, so that it is exceptional. Indeed, this follows immediately from the fact that the only possibly nontrivial morphism spaces between the objects , supported at the nodes, are
[TABLE]
for . This can be immediately seen on the A-side using Proposition 3.2.2, or proved on the B-side using the description of the completion of at a node in terms of the quiver (3.8).
Thus, the subcategory , generated by , is admissible, and we have a semiorthogonal decomposition
[TABLE]
As we have seen in Proposition 4.1.3, the functor (4.1) factors through . This implies that the functor (4.4) is fully faithful. ∎
Note that the functors of the form (4.4) can be viewed as categorical resolutions of stacky curves , since the corresponding categories are smooth.
Example 4.5.2**.**
Let us consider the case when is the irreducible nodal curve of arithmetic genus . In this case the exceptional collection of [6] gives an equivalence of the category with the derived category of finite-dimensional representations of the following quiver with relations,
[TABLE]
As we know, this category is also equivalent to . The two exceptional objects correspond to representations
[TABLE]
The quotient of by either or , which is equivalent to , is a well-known categorical resolution of (see [13, Sec. 3.5]). It is not hard to describe more explicitly. Namely, we can identify it with the subcategory in and take as generators the objects and , where is the projective -representation corresponding to the vertex (note that is quasi-isomorphic to an actual -representation, while is a complex with nontrivial and ). It is easy to check that algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of the following graded quiver with relations:
Here and . Furthermore, one can easily calculate the Hochschild cohomology of this algebra (e.g., using Bardzell’s resolution [3]) and deduce that it is intrinsically formal. Hence, it indeed describes .
We note that this algebra plays an important role in bordered Heegaard Floer theory [19, Sec. 11.1]: it appears as the algebra associated to the punctured torus (see also [11]). The relation of the Fukaya categories of surfaces and, more generally, of symmetric powers of surfaces to Heegaard Floer theory was discovered in the work [15]. The specific relation to partially wrapped Fukaya categories was elucidated by Auroux in [2].
