The 2-group of linear auto-equivalences of an abelian category and its Lie 2-algebra

Zhu, Xinwen

Abstract

For any abelian category C satsifying (AB5) over a separated, quasi-compact scheme S, we construct a stack of 2-groups GL(C) over the flat site of S. We will give a concrete description of GL(C) when C is the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a separated, quasi-compact scheme X over S. We will show that the tangent space gl(C) of GL(C) at the origin has a structure as a Lie 2-algebra.

This paper was motivated by my joint project with Edward Frenkel [FZ1, FZ2] on gerbal representations of double groups and Lie algebras. I would like to express my deep gratitude to him for collaboration and numerous discussions. I would also like to thank Martin Olsson and Chenyang Xu for useful discussions.
