Sheaves of categories with local actions of Hochschild cochains
Abstract
The notion of Hochschild cochains induces an assignment from Aff, affine DG schemes, to monoidal DG categories. We show that this assignment extends, under some appropriate finiteness conditions, to a functor H: Aff AlgBimod(DGCat), where the latter denotes the category of monoidal DG categories and bimodules. Now, any functor A: Aff AlgBimod(DGCat) gives rise, by taking modules, to a theory of sheaves of categories ShvCat A. In this paper, we study ShvCat H. Vaguely speaking, this theory categorifies the theory of D-modules, in the same way as Gaitsgory's original ShvCat categorifies the theory of quasi-coherent sheaves. We develop the functoriality of ShvCat H, its descent properties and, most importantly, the notion of H-affineness. We then prove the H-affineness of algebraic stacks: for Y a stack satisfying some mild conditions, the ∞-category ShvCat H(Y) is equivalent to the ∞-category of modules for H(Y), the monoidal DG category defined in arXiv:1709.07867. As an application, consider a quasi-smooth stack Y and a DG category C with an action of H(Y). Then C admits a theory of singular support in Sing(Y), where Sing(Y) is the space of singularities of Y.
