Abstract.
In this article a higher order support theory, called the
cohomological jump loci, is introduced and studied for dg
modules over a Koszul extension of a local dg algebra. The
generality of this setting applies to dg modules over local complete
intersection rings, exterior algebras and certain group algebras in
prime characteristic. This family of varieties generalizes the
well-studied support varieties in each of these contexts. We show
that cohomological jump loci satisfy several interesting properties,
including being closed under (Grothendieck) duality. The main
application of this support theory is that over a local ring the
homological invariants of Betti degree and complexity are preserved
under duality for finitely generated modules having finite complete
intersection dimension.

Introduction
Over a local complete intersection ring the minimal free resolution of
a finitely generated module has polynomial growth. More precisely the
Betti numbers are eventually modeled by a quasi-polynomial of period
two. A striking result of Avramov and Buchweitz in [4], implicitly contained in [1], is that
the degrees of the quasi-polynomials corresponding to the Betti
numbers of a finitely generated module and its (derived) dual
coincide; see also [31, 38]. In this article we strengthen
this result by showing their leading terms also agree.
Throughout we fix a surjective map of local
rings with common residue field . We assume is
complete intersection of codimension in the sense that its
kernel is generated by an -regular sequence of length . Let
be a finitely generated -module that has finite projective
dimension over .
Classical results of Eisenbud [22] and Gulliksen [26]
associate to a ring of cohomology operators
, with each residing in
cohomological degree , in a way that the graded -space
is naturally a finitely generated graded
-module. The Hilbert–Serre theorem implies that the Krull
dimension of over is the degree of the
quasi-polynomial eventually governing the sequence of Betti numbers
for . This value is called the complexity of
over , denoted see Definition3.1 for a precise
definition.
This article concerns the behaviour of this quasi-polynomial with
respect to the derived duality . When is
maximal Cohen-Macaulay, this coincides with the ordinary -dual
module.
In this notation, it was shown in [4] that the supports of
and over are the same and
hence ; see also [31, 38] for different
proofs. However the methods in loc. cit. are not fine
enough to show that the leading coefficients of the quasi-polynomials
corresponding to the Betti numbers of two -modules agree.
Theorem A.
Let be a surjective complete intersection
map with common residue field . For a finitely generated
-module whose projective dimension over is finite,
the multiplicities of and over
coincide. In particular, the leading terms of the
quasi-polynomials eventually modeling and
agree.
The theorem above is contained in Theorem3.6 where it is stated in
terms of Betti degrees; see Definition3.1. These values, studied in
[1, 2, 3, 27], are normalized leading
coefficients for the quasi-polynomials eventually corresponding to
sequences of Betti numbers. Theorem A can also be proven
using work of Eisenbud, Peeva and Schreyer [23]; see Remark
3.7 for a discussion of this connection. From A we
deduce that the Betti degree of a module of finite complete
intersection dimension and its dual coincide; see
Corollary3.10. Another consequence is the following.
Corollary B.
If is Gorenstein, the leading terms of quasi-polynomials
eventually modeling the Betti numbers and the Bass numbers of
are the same.
The proof of A is geometric in nature, and does not rely on
special properties of resolutions with respect to the duality
functor. We show that the Betti degree is encoded in a sequence of
varieties, refining the support theory of Avramov and Buchweitz,
studied and extended by many others in local algebra
[1, 4, 11, 19, 28, 35]. Cohomological supports have
yielded applications in revealing asymptotic properties for local
complete intersection maps in loc. cit., and more recently,
their utility has been detecting the complete intersection property
among surjective maps and maps of essentially finite type
[15, 16, 34]. Below we discuss properties of the support theory
presented in this article, and direct the curious reader to their
construction in Definition1.6.
We associate to a nested sequence of Zariski closed subsets of
, called the cohomological jump loci of
,
The first jump locus is the support of
over , and hence it coincides with the
cohomological support of studied by Avramov et. al.
From a geometric perspective, the sequence of cohomological jump loci
can be arbitrarily complicated: any nested sequence of closed subsets
of can be realized as the sequence jump loci of
some -module, up to re-indexing; see Theorem1.14.
This theory is analogous to the jump loci in [18] for
differential graded Lie algebras which have found numerous
applications in geometry and topology. The cohomological jump loci in
the present article have several interesting properties. For example,
they respect the triangulated structure of derived categories in an
“additive" sense; see Proposition2.10 for a precise
formulation. We highlight two properties here. First, upon a reduction
to the case of maximal complexity, the sequence of cohomological jump
loci for encodes its Betti degree; this is the content of
Lemma3.5. The second property, found in Theorem2.8, is the
following.
Theorem C.
Let be a surjective complete intersection
map. If is a finitely generated -module whose projective
dimension over is finite, then there are the equalities
for all .
Outline
In Section1 we introduce the theory of cohomological jump
loci. This is done in greater generality than discussed above. Namely
we let be a local differential graded (=dg) algebra and consider
a Koszul complex on a finite list of elements in ; in
this context is a dg -module that is perfect over . A
number of examples are provided and we conclude the section with our
realizability result, discussed above, in Theorem1.14.
In Section2 we establish basic and important properties of
cohomological jump loci. The main result of the section is that the
cohomogical jump loci of and are the same; this is the
subject of Theorem2.8. Finally, Section3 specializes to the
context of the introduction, and to modules of finite complete
intersection dimension. This contains applications to local algebra
like A and B, discussed above.
1. Definitions and examples
Throughout this article is a fixed commutative
noetherian local dg algebra. That is, is
a nonnegatively graded, strictly graded-commutative dg algebra with
a commutative noetherian local ring, and the homology
modules are finitely generated over .
We fix a list of elements in and set
to be the Koszul complex on over —that is, is the
exterior algebra over on exterior variables
of degree with differential uniquely determined, via the Leibniz
rule, by . This will be regarded as a dg
-algebra in the standard fashion, and we let
be the structure map.
We will also denote throughout
the graded polynomial algebra over generated by polynomial
variables of cohomological degree . We refer to
as the ring of cohomology operators (over )
corresponding to ; this name is justified in
1.4.
Remark 1.1.
If is a local ring (that is, concentrated in degree 0), as in
the introduction, then is quasi-isomorphic to under
the additional assumption that is an -regular
sequence. In this case, everything that follows directly translates
to the setting where we instead define from the
beginning, cf. [24, Theorem 6.10].
We let denote the derived category of dg -modules. This
is a triangulated category in the usual way; see [5, Section
3]. Restricting along the structure map defines a
functor . Through this map objects of are
regarded as objects of It will be convenient for us to work
in the following subcategory of .
Definition 1.2.
Let denote the full subcategory of
consisting of dg -modules which are perfect when restricted to
. That is, belongs to provided that,
while viewed as an object of , it belongs to the smallest
thick subcategory containing This category is denoted
in [25].
Remark 1.3.
When is a regular local ring, is simply the
bounded derived category of dg -modules; namely,
is exactly the full subcategory of
consisting of dg -modules with finitely generated homology over
the ring , which is often denoted
The utility of this category is due to a theorem of Gulliksen
[26, Theorem 3.1] which is recast in the following construction.
1.4.
If is an object of then can
naturally be given the structure of a perfect dg -module.
Indeed, is quasi-isomorphic to
with the twisted
differential
where is a semifree resolution of over
. This defines a dg -module structure that is
independent of choice of up to quasi-isomorphism;
cf. [3, Section 2]. When we need to refer to this dg
-module explicitly, it will be denoted
; this notation is used, for
example, in Theorem2.8.
We point out that can be taken to be any dg
-module map where the underlying graded -module of
is a finite coproduct of shifts of , provided such an
exists. When is a ring, the existence of such a resolution is
contained in [3, 2.1]. If such a resolution exists, then one
can show that is a perfect dg
-module arguing as in [7, 9, 35]. However, at this
level of generality, the existence of such resolutions has not been
established, and so we argue in a different fashion.
Under the identification of with
we have the following
quasi-isomorphism
and because is perfect over , the homology module
is a finite -space. It follows by a
homological version of Nakayama’s lemma, see for example
[35, Theorem 3.2.4], that is
finitely generated over . Finally, since has finite
global dimension, we conclude that is perfect when
regarded as a dg -module as claimed.
When is an (orindary) ring and is an -regular
sequence, is the usual -space of operators associated
to in the works of Avramov [1], Eisenbud [22],
Gulliksen [26], Mehta [33], and others; this is clarified
in [12].
Remark 1.5.
While our focus is on the -action on , the
cohomology operators do lift to elements of
, and we will use this in 1.15
below.
Indeed, mimicking the proof of [3, Proposition 2.6], it
follows that the operators defining can be
realized as elements in the Hochschild cohomology of over
. More precisely, with denoting the enveloping dg
algebra of over , there is an isomorphism of dg algebras
where each is in cohomological degree . This
quasi-isomorphism yields a homomorphism
, through which
obtains an action of the cohomology
operators. Furthermore, the natural projection
determines the same
-action as the one discussed in 1.4 on
for any dg -module .
Let denote the set of homogeneous prime ideals of
with the Zariski topology, having closed sets of the form
for some list of homogeneous elements in
For a graded -module and we
write for the (homogeneous) localization of at
. Furthermore, will be the graded field
Given a graded field , any finitely generated
-module has the form for some , and
below we use the notation .

(1.7.1)
Hence when is in , this chain must stabilize
at since is perfect over by
1.4.
If is in we have that is
simply the support of regarded as a graded
-module; this is contained in [20, Theorem 2.4]. That
is,

In particular,

is in Looking ahead, in Proposition2.1, we
show that is closed for all , whenever
is in .
Remark 1.8.
When is a ring, is the cohomological
support of over as defined in [34, 35]; these are
derived versions of the support varieties in local algebra studied
in [1, 4, 11, 28].
1.9.
Let be a dg -module with finitely generated
homology. The total Betti number of is
the sum is only over finitely many integers as has finite
global dimension.
Example 1.10.
Assume is a perfect dg -module and
. It follows directly that
Example 1.11.
Let denote the embedding dimension of and let
denote the Koszul complex on a minimal generating set for
the maximal ideal of over . As is contained in
, there is a dg -module structure on which is
explained below: Fixing a minimal generating set
for with in
and writing each
determines a -action on by
In particular, if it follows from
1.4 that there is the following isomorphism of
graded -modules
and hence, . Therefore, there are the
following equalities
When is a regular local ring, we have calculated the sequence
of jump loci since
as dg -modules.
Example 1.12.
Assume is a regular local ring (or more generally, a UFD) and
consider where . When is
a regular sequence, and so from
Example1.10 we have the equalities
Now assume does not form an -regular sequence; in this
case there exists an -regular sequence with
for some . It follows that
is an -free resolution of , and this has a dg -module
structure with the and action indicated by
It follows easily, using 1.4, that
is isomorphic to the complex of free -modules:
Therefore, assuming is algebraically closed,
Example 1.13.
Let and set For the
-module . Using similar calculations
as the ones in Example1.12 it follows that
In particular, this example produces a complete flag in
from an indecomposable -module.
We end this section with the following realizability theorem that,
roughly speaking, says there is essentially no restriction on the
sequence of closed subsets that appear as the sequence of jump loci
for a fixed dg -module. This is a higher order version of the
realizability results for supports corresponding to a deformation (or
Koszul complex); see [8, 19, 35].
Theorem 1.14.
If , then for every descending chain of closed
subsets
there exists in and an increasing sequence of
integers such that
for .
For a fixed dg -module , we call the numbers
in Theorem1.14, at which the jump loci
change, the jump numbers of . It follows from
Lemma3.5 below that the first jump number is always even.
The last jump number is always ; see
1.9.
An essential ingredient in the proof of Theorem1.14 is the
theory of Koszul objects introduced by Avramov and Iyengar in
[8].

2. Basic properties
We adopt the notation set in Section1. In this section we show
the support theory introduced in the previous section satisfies
several important properties.
Proposition 2.1.
Let be in . For each , the
jump locus is a Zariski closed subset of
.
This follows from the following standard lemmas.
Lemma 2.2.
Fix a graded field , and let be a finitely generated
dg -module. Then
Proof.
Let and denote the boundaries and cycles of . Since rank is additive on exact sequences, the desired statements
follow immediately from the following diagram with exact rows and
columns.
Lemma 2.3.
Let be a dg -module which, upon forgetting its
differential, is free of rank of over , and set
. For each , there is an
equality
and so, in particular, the right-hand set above is a Zariski closed
subset of
First, since is perfect as a dg -module,
is perfect as dg -module by 1.4. This means
there is a quasi-isomorphism of dg -modules
, where is a dg -module with
underlying -module being free of finite rank; see
[5, Theorem 4.8]. Hence we may apply Lemma2.3 to
to obtain
where and is the rank of
regarded as a free -module.
∎
2.4.
Let be a flat local extension, and write
for the residue field of . Denote the corresponding
dg algebras by and
, the induced homomorphism by
, and the corresponding ring of
cohomology operators by . Then there is an
induced map on spectra
The next result explains how the cohomological jump loci behave with
respect to these maps.
Lemma 2.5.
With notation as in 2.4 above, if is an object
of then is an object of
and for all
Proof.
Let be a prime of and set
. There are isomorphisms
Knowing this, the lemma follows directly from the definition of
cohomological jump loci; see Definition1.6.
∎
Lemma 2.6.
Let be in . Suppose
is a dg -module map such that the underlying map of
-modules remains a chain map between the twisted complexes
Then is a quasi-isomorphism if and
only if is a quasi-isomorphism.
Proof.
This follows directly from the Eilenberg–Moore comparison theorem
[39, Theorem 5.5.11] following the observation that the
ordinary and twisted complexes coincide upon passing to their
associated graded complexes with respect to the -adic
filtration.
∎
Lemma 2.7.
Consider, for some , the factorization
where
.
Then for any in we have
as dg -modules where
.
Proof.
Let denote the ring of
cohomology operators corresponding to . By direct
inspection of the construction in 1.4, we see
The next result is the main one from this section. For what follows,
we reserve the notation
for the duality functor on . However, as is
a Koszul extension, -duality coincides with
. Thus restricts to an endofunctor
on
Theorem 2.8.
For any
in , there are equalities
for each positive integer
. Hence for all primes of
.
Proof.
First, we may assume that the residue field is algebraically
closed by Lemma2.5 and by [14, Appendice, §2] (see also [30, Theorem 10.14]). Since the
jump loci are closed, conical subsets of by
Proposition2.1, it follows that is either
empty, , or the closure of the coheight one primes it
contains. Therefore it suffices to show that
for all coheight one primes of
and for . The proof of the latter is
essentially contained in the former, so we will proceed assuming
is coheight one. Using the Nullstellensatz and a linear
change of variables, we may further assume
.
Next, let denote the dg subalgebra
and denote the
corresponding ring of cohomology operators for . Since
, if we let denote the residue field of
at , then and hence by
Lemma2.7,
Once we recall the fact that for a perfect dg -module
one has the equality
we see that it is sufficient to show
To this end, observe that we have the following isomorphisms of dg
-modules:
the second one being nothing more than adjunction, while the third
uses the dg -module isomorphism
which is one place the
assumption that is perfect over is being
invoked. Furthermore, the natural maps
are each quasi-isomorphisms of dg -modules. A direct
computation shows that the composite map is compatible with the
twisted differential, inducing a map
which, by Lemma2.6, is also a
quasi-isomorphism. Combining this quasi-isomorphism with the
already established ones above, we obtain the desired result.
∎
Remark 2.9.
In the case that is a local ring and is the
quotient by a regular sequence , we indicate
here how to interpret the above theory more classically in terms of
matrix factorizations.
Fix a nonzero point in and choose lifts
of each to . Any complex in
be regarded as a -module
through the factorization
For ease of notation, let denote
. By [11, Theorem 2.1],
for lifts and of a point in
there is an equality of Betti numbers
for each
integer . Hence we simply write for
. Furthermore, when is in
the sequence of values
eventually stabilizes; this stable value is denoted
, called the stable Betti number of
at . Moreover is exactly the
rank of the free modules appearing in a matrix factorization
describing the tail of a free -module resolution of
; cf. [22, 37]. When is Gorenstein, this is
also the -rank of each stable (or Tate)
cohomology module
When is algebraically closed, by invoking the Nullstellensatz,
the (inhomogeneous) maximal ideals of correspond to
, affine -space over . In light of the discussion
above, for each nonnegative integer , it is sensible to
consider the following subset of :
(2.9.1)
The proof of Theorem2.8 shows that the closed points of the cone
over correspond exactly with the subset in
Eq.2.9.1. When , the subset
Eq.2.9.1 is the classical support variety from
[1, 3.11].
We end this section with an accoutrement demonstrating an a
priori surprising property of the cohomological jump loci when taken
in total. There are general axioms for a support theory on a
triangulated category; see, for example, the conditions specified in
[13, Theorem 1]. Two such axioms are: first, that the support
takes direct sums to unions, and second, the so-called
two-out-of-three property on the supports of objects in an
exact triangle. The following proposition says that the jump loci all
together satisfy a higher-order generalization of these usual
containment properties.
Proposition 2.10.
Given an exact triangle in there is
the following containment of jump loci
equality holds when admits a section.
Proof.
This follows directly from the exact triangle obtained by applying
to the exact triangle ,
and noting that when admits a section, so does the
corresponding induced map.
∎
Remark 2.11.
In light of Proposition2.10, the higher jump loci
for do not respect containment among thick
subcategories of . This should be contrasted with
usual support varieties which can even be used to
classify the thick subcategories of when is a
regular ring and is an -regular sequence; see
[31, 38].
3. Applications to Betti degree
In this section is a local ring,
is an -regular sequence. Set , and let
be the canonical projection. As noted in
Remark1.1, we can freely apply the results from the
preceding sections while studying Ext-modules over in the
present section.
Let be an object of . The complexity of ,
denoted , is the smallest natural number such that
the sequence of Betti numbers over
, given by , is
eventually bounded by a polynomial of degree . If no such
integer exists one sets to be infinity.
If has finite complexity , the Betti
degree of (over ) is defined to be
(3.1.1)
3.2.
According to 1.4, if is in
then is a finitely generated graded
-module. In particular, by the Hilbert-Serre Theorem,
is exactly the Krull dimension of over
. Hence, , and by the Nullsetellsatz,
is the dimension of the Zariski closed subset
; cf. [1, 4]. It is worth remarking that
the above assertions hold at the level of generality in
Section1; however, the next discussion is one place we are
forced to specialize to the setting of the present section.
3.3.
Let be in with . Then there
exist polynomials and of degree whose
leading coefficients agree such that for all
see [1, Remark 4.2]. In particular, the sequence defining
in Definition3.1 converges and the leading
coefficient of both and is
.
Finally up to further scaling can also be realized as
the multiplicity of over .
3.4.
Fix in with complexity . Let be the polynomial ring regraded so that the
variables are in cohomological degree 1. We may define
to be the graded -module consisting of the even degrees
of , i.e.
When endowed with the degree filtration,
, the associated Hilbert
polynomial is as defined in 3.3. In
particular, the leading term is given by
When endowed with the -adic filtration, the leading term
of the associated Hilbert polynomial is of the form
where is the multiplicity of as an -module.
Since is finitely generated over , for all
sufficiently large, , and hence the leading
terms of the two Hilbert polynomials agree, so
This is the reason for the normalization factor of in the
definition Eq.3.1.1; in particular the number is
always a positive
integer.
Finally, since is a regular integral domain, we obtain the
equality [32, Theorem 14.8]
Repeating this process for the module consisting of the odd degrees
of yields
Lemma 3.5.
An object of has maximal complexity if
and only if , and in this case
Proof.
Recall from 3.2, that
. From this, we see that maximal
complexity of is equivalent to .
Since the jump loci are closed, if and
only if . However,
We remind the reader that we use the notation
for -duality throughout, and that up to a shift, this coincides
with the -duality .
Theorem 3.6.
Let be a surjective map of local rings whose kernel is
generated by an -regular sequence. If is in
then .
Proof.
We first reduce to the case of full complexity. Since Betti numbers,
and hence the Betti degree, are unchanged by flat base change, we
may assume that the residue field is infinite. Recall from
3.2 that the Krull dimension of over
is equal to . By Noether normalisation we can
make a linear change of coordinates and assume that
is finite over . Writing
and
it follows from
Lemma2.7 that
The right-hand-side has cohomology which is finite over
(since it is built by
), and simultaneously annihilated by ;
therefore it must be finite dimensional. This means that
is bounded, and we conclude that is in
, and it has the maximal complexity among
objects of this category.
We may now assume that has maximal complexity within
, so we can use Lemma3.5 and Theorem2.8
to deduce
From this we obtain the desired equality
.
∎
Remark 3.7.
Let be a module over a deformation , as in the setup
of Theorem 3.6. Eisenbud, Peeva and Schreyer prove in
[23] that the Betti degree of is equal to the rank of a
minimal matrix factorization for , of a generically chosen
relation in an intermediate deformation (chosen as in the
proof of Theorem 3.6); see [23, Theorem 4.3] for a
precise statement. Our Theorem 3.6 can also be deduced from
this result. Conversely, [23, Theorem 4.3] can alternatively
be proven using the cohomological jump loci along the lines of
Theorem 3.6.
Eisenbud, Peeva and Schreyer make essential use of the theory of
higher matrix factorizations in their work. This raises the question
of the connection between the data visible in a higher matrix
factorization of a module and its cohomological jump loci.
The conclusion in Theorem3.6 for the quasi-polynomials governing
the Betti numbers of and cannot be improved. That is to
say, the lower order terms of the respective quasi-polynomials need
not agree.
Example 3.8.
Consider and . For
and there are equalities
3.9.
We now fix a local ring (and we forget for a brief
moment). Following the work of Avramov, Gasharov and Peeva
[6] and Sather-Wagstaff [36], a complex of
-modules is said to have finite ci-dimension if there
exists a diagram of local rings
in which is flat and is a surjective
deformation, and such that is isomorphic in
to a bounded complex of projective modules.
Corollary 3.10.
If is a local ring and is a complex of -modules
with finitely generated homology and finite ci-dimension, then
.
Proof.
Both the duality and the Betti degree are preserved by flat base
change, so we may assume that admits a deformation
such that is in , and
the statement follows from Theorem3.6.
∎
Remark 3.11.
Let be a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module over which has
finite ci-dimension. It is well known that admits a complete
resolution over , in the sense of [17] that is the
cokernel of a differential in a acyclic complex of projective
-modules. The two ends of this complete resolution (the
projective resolution and coresolution of ) grow
quasi-polynomially with the same degree; see, for example,
[4, 9, 31]. Corollary3.10 asserts that moreover the leading
terms of these two quasi-polynomials are the same. This is in stark
contrast with the results of [29], where modules are exhibited
with complete resolutions that have wildly asymmetric growth. All
such modules must have infinite ci-dimension.
We now move on to our final result. If we specialize to the case where
is a Gorenstein ring, then Gorenstein duality allows us to form
a connection between the Betti numbers of a module and its Bass
numbers as a direct corollary to Theorem3.6.
Let be an object of . Recall that the -th Bass
number of is defined to be
The cocomplexity (or plexity as used in
[4, 10]) of , denoted , is defined to
be the smallest nonnegative integer such that the sequence
is eventually bounded by
a polynomial of degree .
Suppose . Define the Bass degree of
over to be
Corollary 3.13.
If is Gorenstein then for any in
Proof.
This is an easy consequence of Gorenstein-duality and
Theorem3.6. Namely, being Gorenstien forces to be
Gorenstein and so there is an isomorphism of graded -spaces
for some integer . Hence and so
now applying Theorem3.6, we obtain the desired equality.

Question 3.14.
Let and be two dg -modules, each perfect over , and
assume that is degree-wise of finite length (in large
degrees). In this context the numbers
are also eventually modelled by
quasi-polynomial of period two; cf. [17, 10.3] and
[21]. In the case that is regular, Avramov and Buchweitz
prove, using the theory of support varieties for pairs of modules,
that and have equal degrees
[4]. Corollary3.13 suggests the following question:
Assuming is Gorenstein, what is the relationship between the
leading terms of and ?
