Auslander correspondence for higher stable dg categories and cluster Morita theory

Abstract

The notion of $d$-stable dg categories axiomatizes $d$-cluster tilting subcategories of stable dg categories. We establish an Auslander correspondence for $d$-stable dg categories: we characterize the $d$-stability of an additive connective dg category in terms of coherence, weak global dimension, and a duality on finitely presented modules. This gives a homological characterization of $d$-stability and reveals it as a twisted form of $(d+1)$-Calabi--Yau duality. For locally finite connective dg algebras, this interpretation becomes particularly transparent under Koszul duality, where $d$-stability corresponds to a shifted self-injectivity condition on the Koszul dual. Following the constructions of Amiot, Guo and Keller, for a $d$-stable dg category $M$, we introduce its $d$-cluster dg category $\mathcal C_{d,{\rm dg}}(M):=\operatorname{per}_{\rm dg}M/^\mathbb{L}\mathcal D^b_{\rm fp, dg}(M)$. Using our Auslander correspondence, we show that $\mathcal C_{d,{\rm dg}}(M)$ contains $M$ as a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory. In particular, every $d$-stable dg category can be realized as a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory of a stable dg category. We then develop cluster Morita theory: a pretriangulated dg category equipped with a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory $M$ is quasi-equivalent to $\mathcal C_{d,{\rm dg}}(M)$. Thus the connective dg structure of a cluster tilting subcategory determines its ambient dg category up to quasi-equivalence. As an application of cluster Morita theory, we prove a Morita-theoretic variant of Amiot's conjecture. More precisely, we establish a Calabi--Yau correspondence: for a locally finite $d$-stable dg category $M$ over a field, right $(d+1)$-Calabi--Yau structures on $\mathcal D^b_{\rm fp, dg}(M)$ are in bijection with right $d$-Calabi--Yau structures on $\mathcal C_{d,{\rm dg}}(M)$.
