Towards Categorical Kähler Geometry

Abstract

We outline the contours of an emerging theory of Kähler metrics in derived noncommutative geometry. This is a refinement of the theory of Bridgeland stability conditions encoding underlying differential-geometric structures. We propose elements of such a structure in both Archimedean and non-Archimedean settings, including metrized objects, mass measures satisfying a BPS inequality, harmonic metrics, minimizing flows, and complexified Kähler potentials. We develop the framework through examples and constructions involving Fukaya categories, quiver representations and associated C$^*$-algebras, spectral networks, and comonadic adjunctions of stable $\infty$-categories.
