Harada et al. show that the natural action of the Weyl group on () extends to an action of a degenerate Hecke ring generated by divided difference operators which was introduced earlier in the context of Schubert calculus by Demazure. e operators are called Demazure operators. e main result in the paper [3] states that the ring () is isomorphic to the subring of () annihilated by the augmentation ideal in the degenerate Hecke algebra. In other words, a -equivariant class is -equivariant if and only if it is killed by the Demazure operators.

2 Algebra

In the present paper we define a notion of Demazuredescent on a triangulated category C Thus Demazure oper-ators are replaced by Demazure functors These functorssatisfy a categorified version of degenerate Hecke algebrarelations and form a Demazure descent data onC We definethe descent category for such data Demazure descent issupposed to be a technique replacing the naive notion ofWeylgroup invariants on the categorical level

We provide the first example of Demazure descentConsider a reductive algebraic group 119866 and fix a Borelsubgroup 119861 sub 119866 Categorifying the construction form [3]we consider Demazure functors 119863119904119894

acting on the derivedcategory of 119861-modules We prove that the functors form aDemazure descent data and identify the descent categorywith the derived category of 119866-modules

2 The Setting

21 Root Data Let 119866 be a reductive algebraic group over analgebraically closed field 119896 of characteristic zero Let 119879 be aCartan subgroup of 119866 and let (119868 119883 119884) be the correspondingroot data where 119868 is the set of vertices of theDynkin diagram119883 is the weight lattice of 119866 and 119884 is the coroot lattice of119866 Choose a Borel subgroup 119879 sub 119861 sub 119866 Denote the setof roots for 119866 by Φ = Φ

+⊔ Φminus Let 1205721 120572119899 be the set

of simple roots The Weyl group 119882 = Norm(119879)119879 of thefixed maximal torus acts naturally on the lattices 119883 and 119884

and on the R-vector spaces spanned by them by reflectionsin root hyperplanes The simple reflection corresponding toan 120572119894 is denoted by 119904119894 The elements 1199041 119904119899 form a set ofgenerators for 119882 For 119908 isin 119882 denote the length of a minimalexpression of 119908 via the generators by ℓ(119908) We have a partialordering on 119882 called the Bruhat ordering 1199081015840 le 119908 if thereexists a reduced expression for 119908

1015840 that can be obtained froma reduced expression for 119908 by deleting a number of simplereflections

The monoid Br+ with generators 119879119908 119908 isin 119882 andrelations

11987911990811198791199082

= 11987911990811199082if ℓ (1199081) + ℓ (1199082) = ℓ (11990811199082) in 119882 (1)

is called the braid monoid of 119866

22 Categories of Representations For an algebraic group 119867we denote the Hopf algebra of polynomial functions on119867 byO(119867) Let Rep(119867) be the category of O(119867)-comodules Thisis an Abelian tensor category

Let 119875119894 be the parabolic subgroup of119866 containing 119861whoseLevi subgroup has the root system 120572119894 minus120572119894 Using the naturalHopf algebramapsO(119866) rarr O(119861) andO(119875119894) rarr O(119861)we canget restriction functors

Res119894 Rep (119875119894) 997888rarr Rep (119861)

Res Rep (119866) 997888rarr Rep (119861)

(2)

The restriction functors are exact and naturally commutewith taking tensor product of representations Let 119867 be asubgroup of 119866 and119872 isin Rep(119866) Define the119867-invariant part

of 119872 to be 119872119867

= HomRep(119867)(119896119872) Consider the inductionfunctors

Ind119894 Rep (119861) 997888rarr Rep (119875119894) 119872 997891997888rarr (O (119875119894) otimes 119872)119861

Ind Rep (119861) 997888rarr Rep (119866) 119872 997891997888rarr (O (119866) otimes 119872)119861

(3)

Set Δ 119894 = Res119894 ∘ Ind119894 Rep(119861) and Δ = Res ∘ Ind

Rep(119861) Notice thatΔ 119894 andΔ are left exact since the inductionfunctors are left exact

23 The Derived Categories For an algebraic group 119867 theregular comodule O(119867) is injective in Rep(119867) moreover forany119872 isin Rep(119867) the coactionmap119872 rarr O(119867)otimes119872 providesan embedding of 119872 into an injective object In particularRep(119867) has enough injectives The algebraic De RhamcomplexΩ

∙(119867) provides an injective resolution for the trivial

comodule of the length equal to the dimension of119867 For any119872 isin Rep(119867) the complex Ω

∙(119867) otimes 119872 provides an injective

resolution for 119872 of the same lengthConsider now the bounded derived categories

119887(Rep(119875119894)) and 119863

119887(Rep(119866)) Let 119871 119894 and 119871

be the derived functors of Res119894 and Res respectively Denotethe right derived functors of Ind119894 and Ind by 119868119894 and 119868respectively Let119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 and119863 = 119871∘119868 be the right derivedfunctors of Δ 119894 and Δ respectively

Proposition 1 (a) The functors 119871 119894 and 119871 are left adjoint to 119868119894

and 119868 respectively(b) For119872 isin 119863

119872 isin 119863119887(Rep (119861)) and 119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep (119866))) we have the tensor

identities119868119894 (119872 otimes 119871 119894 (119873)) ≃ 119868119894 (119872) otimes 119873

(119903119890119904119901 119868 (119872 otimes 119871 (119873)) ≃ 119868 (119872) otimes 119873)

(4)

(c) The functors 119868119894 and 119868 take the trivial O(119861)-comoduleto the trivial O(119875119894)-comodule (resp to the trivial O(119866)-comodule)

(d) 119863119894 and 119863 are comonads for which the comonad maps119863119894 rarr 119863

119894and 119863 rarr 119863

2 are isomorphisms

Proof The statements corresponding to (a) and (b) for Resand Ind (resp Res119894 and Ind119894) are Propositions 34 and 36in [4] The derived functors of a pair of adjoint functors areadjoint (b) also follows from these statement for the non-derived functors since tensoring over a field is exact

119868119894 (Id otimes 119871 119894) ≃ 119877 (Ind119894 (Id otimes Res119894)) ≃ 119877 (Ind119894 otimes Id) ≃ 119868119894 otimes Id(5)

By (a) 119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 and 119863 = 119871 ∘ 119868 are comonads (see [5Section VI1]) (b) and (c) imply that 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894(119873) ≃ 119873 for119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep(119875119894)) and 119868 ∘ 119871(119873) ≃ 119873 for 119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep(119866))

Thus Id rarr 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894 (resp Id rarr 119868 ∘ 119871) and from this we get thedesired isomorphism

119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ Id ∘ 119868119894 997888rarr 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 = 1198632

119894 (6)

and likewise for 119863

Algebra 3

Remark 2 It follows that the restriction functors 119871 119894 and 119871 arefully faithful

there exist isomorphisms of functors

1198631199081∘ 1198631199082

≃ 11986311990811199082 if ℓ (11990811199082) = ℓ (1199081) + ℓ (1199082) (8)

Notice that we neither fix the braid relations isomor-phisms nor impose any additional relations on them

Definition 4 Demazure descent data on the category C is aweak braidmonoid action 119863119908 such that for each simple root119904119894 the corresponding functor 119863119904119894

is a comonad for which thecomonad map 119863119904119894

rarr 1198632

119904119894is an isomorphism

Here is the central construction of the paper Consider atriangulated category C with a fixed Demazure descent data119863119908 119908 isin 119882 of the type (119868 119883 119884)

Definition 5 The descent category Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) isthe full subcategory in C consisting of objects 119872 such thatfor all 119894 the cones of the counit maps 119863119904119894

Remark 6 Suppose that C has functorial cones ThenDesc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) a full triangulated subcategory inC being the intersection of kernels of Cone(119863119904119894 rarr Id)However one can prove this statement not using functorialityof cones

Lemma 7 An object 119872 isin Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturallya comodule over each 119863119904119894

Proof By definition the comonad maps

For Demazure descent data we require that 120578 is an iso-morphism so 120598 ∘ 119863119904119894

is also an isomorphism Let 119872 isin

Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) That Cone(119863119904119894(119872)120598

Remark 8 Recall that in the usual descent setting either inAlgebraic Geometry or in abstract Category Theory (Barr-Beck theorem) descent data includes a pair of adjoint functorsand their composition which is a comonad By definition thedescent category for such data is the category of comodulesover this comonad Our definition of Desc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882)

for Demazure descent data formally is not about comodulesyet the previous Lemma demonstrates that every object ofDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturally equipped with struc-tures of a comodule over each 119863119894 and any morphism inDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is a morphism of 119863119894-comodules

sdot sdot sdot 119875119895119899 By [8 Theorem 31] the 119861-

Hence for any choice of reduced expression we can define

Δ119908 = Δ 1198941∘ sdot sdot sdot ∘ Δ 119894119898

(21)

Let1199081 and1199082 be elements in119882 such that ℓ(11990811199082) = ℓ(1199081) +

The braid relations for 119863119908 now follows from the braidrelations for Δ119908

Theorem 11 Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is equivalent to119863119887(Rep (119866))

ment in119863119887(Rep(119866) is equivalent to119872 being in the image of119871

Assume119872 = 119871(119873) for some119873 isin 119863119887(Rep(119866))Then119863(119872) =

Claim ker(119862) = ⋂119894ker(119862119894)

Proof of Claim Assume that 119872 isin ker(119862) Then 119872 = 119871(119873)

for some 119873 isin 119863119887(Rep(119866)) But then 119872 = 119871 119894(119873|119875119894

2 Algebra

In the present paper we define a notion of Demazuredescent on a triangulated category C Thus Demazure oper-ators are replaced by Demazure functors These functorssatisfy a categorified version of degenerate Hecke algebrarelations and form a Demazure descent data onC We definethe descent category for such data Demazure descent issupposed to be a technique replacing the naive notion ofWeylgroup invariants on the categorical level

We provide the first example of Demazure descentConsider a reductive algebraic group 119866 and fix a Borelsubgroup 119861 sub 119866 Categorifying the construction form [3]we consider Demazure functors 119863119904119894

acting on the derivedcategory of 119861-modules We prove that the functors form aDemazure descent data and identify the descent categorywith the derived category of 119866-modules

2 The Setting

21 Root Data Let 119866 be a reductive algebraic group over analgebraically closed field 119896 of characteristic zero Let 119879 be aCartan subgroup of 119866 and let (119868 119883 119884) be the correspondingroot data where 119868 is the set of vertices of theDynkin diagram119883 is the weight lattice of 119866 and 119884 is the coroot lattice of119866 Choose a Borel subgroup 119879 sub 119861 sub 119866 Denote the setof roots for 119866 by Φ = Φ

+⊔ Φminus Let 1205721 120572119899 be the set

of simple roots The Weyl group 119882 = Norm(119879)119879 of thefixed maximal torus acts naturally on the lattices 119883 and 119884

and on the R-vector spaces spanned by them by reflectionsin root hyperplanes The simple reflection corresponding toan 120572119894 is denoted by 119904119894 The elements 1199041 119904119899 form a set ofgenerators for 119882 For 119908 isin 119882 denote the length of a minimalexpression of 119908 via the generators by ℓ(119908) We have a partialordering on 119882 called the Bruhat ordering 1199081015840 le 119908 if thereexists a reduced expression for 119908

1015840 that can be obtained froma reduced expression for 119908 by deleting a number of simplereflections

The monoid Br+ with generators 119879119908 119908 isin 119882 andrelations

11987911990811198791199082

= 11987911990811199082if ℓ (1199081) + ℓ (1199082) = ℓ (11990811199082) in 119882 (1)

is called the braid monoid of 119866

22 Categories of Representations For an algebraic group 119867we denote the Hopf algebra of polynomial functions on119867 byO(119867) Let Rep(119867) be the category of O(119867)-comodules Thisis an Abelian tensor category

Let 119875119894 be the parabolic subgroup of119866 containing 119861whoseLevi subgroup has the root system 120572119894 minus120572119894 Using the naturalHopf algebramapsO(119866) rarr O(119861) andO(119875119894) rarr O(119861)we canget restriction functors

Res119894 Rep (119875119894) 997888rarr Rep (119861)

Res Rep (119866) 997888rarr Rep (119861)

(2)

The restriction functors are exact and naturally commutewith taking tensor product of representations Let 119867 be asubgroup of 119866 and119872 isin Rep(119866) Define the119867-invariant part

of 119872 to be 119872119867

= HomRep(119867)(119896119872) Consider the inductionfunctors

Ind119894 Rep (119861) 997888rarr Rep (119875119894) 119872 997891997888rarr (O (119875119894) otimes 119872)119861

Ind Rep (119861) 997888rarr Rep (119866) 119872 997891997888rarr (O (119866) otimes 119872)119861

(3)

Set Δ 119894 = Res119894 ∘ Ind119894 Rep(119861) and Δ = Res ∘ Ind

Rep(119861) Notice thatΔ 119894 andΔ are left exact since the inductionfunctors are left exact

23 The Derived Categories For an algebraic group 119867 theregular comodule O(119867) is injective in Rep(119867) moreover forany119872 isin Rep(119867) the coactionmap119872 rarr O(119867)otimes119872 providesan embedding of 119872 into an injective object In particularRep(119867) has enough injectives The algebraic De RhamcomplexΩ

∙(119867) provides an injective resolution for the trivial

comodule of the length equal to the dimension of119867 For any119872 isin Rep(119867) the complex Ω

∙(119867) otimes 119872 provides an injective

resolution for 119872 of the same lengthConsider now the bounded derived categories

119887(Rep(119875119894)) and 119863

119887(Rep(119866)) Let 119871 119894 and 119871

be the derived functors of Res119894 and Res respectively Denotethe right derived functors of Ind119894 and Ind by 119868119894 and 119868respectively Let119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 and119863 = 119871∘119868 be the right derivedfunctors of Δ 119894 and Δ respectively

Proposition 1 (a) The functors 119871 119894 and 119871 are left adjoint to 119868119894

and 119868 respectively(b) For119872 isin 119863

119872 isin 119863119887(Rep (119861)) and 119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep (119866))) we have the tensor

identities119868119894 (119872 otimes 119871 119894 (119873)) ≃ 119868119894 (119872) otimes 119873

(119903119890119904119901 119868 (119872 otimes 119871 (119873)) ≃ 119868 (119872) otimes 119873)

(4)

(c) The functors 119868119894 and 119868 take the trivial O(119861)-comoduleto the trivial O(119875119894)-comodule (resp to the trivial O(119866)-comodule)

(d) 119863119894 and 119863 are comonads for which the comonad maps119863119894 rarr 119863

119894and 119863 rarr 119863

2 are isomorphisms

Proof The statements corresponding to (a) and (b) for Resand Ind (resp Res119894 and Ind119894) are Propositions 34 and 36in [4] The derived functors of a pair of adjoint functors areadjoint (b) also follows from these statement for the non-derived functors since tensoring over a field is exact

119868119894 (Id otimes 119871 119894) ≃ 119877 (Ind119894 (Id otimes Res119894)) ≃ 119877 (Ind119894 otimes Id) ≃ 119868119894 otimes Id(5)

By (a) 119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 and 119863 = 119871 ∘ 119868 are comonads (see [5Section VI1]) (b) and (c) imply that 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894(119873) ≃ 119873 for119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep(119875119894)) and 119868 ∘ 119871(119873) ≃ 119873 for 119873 isin 119863

119887(Rep(119866))

Thus Id rarr 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894 (resp Id rarr 119868 ∘ 119871) and from this we get thedesired isomorphism

119863119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 = 119871 119894 ∘ Id ∘ 119868119894 997888rarr 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 ∘ 119871 119894 ∘ 119868119894 = 1198632

119894 (6)

and likewise for 119863

Algebra 3

Remark 2 It follows that the restriction functors 119871 119894 and 119871 arefully faithful

3 Demazure Descent

Fix a root data (119868 119883 119884) of the finite type with the Weylgroup 119882 and the braid monoid Br+ Consider a triangulatedcategoryC

119863119908 C 997888rarr C 119908 isin 119882 (7)

satisfying braid monoid relations that is for all 1199081 1199082 isin 119882

there exist isomorphisms of functors

1198631199081∘ 1198631199082

≃ 11986311990811199082 if ℓ (11990811199082) = ℓ (1199081) + ℓ (1199082) (8)

Notice that we neither fix the braid relations isomor-phisms nor impose any additional relations on them

Definition 4 Demazure descent data on the category C is aweak braidmonoid action 119863119908 such that for each simple root119904119894 the corresponding functor 119863119904119894

is a comonad for which thecomonad map 119863119904119894

rarr 1198632

119904119894is an isomorphism

Here is the central construction of the paper Consider atriangulated category C with a fixed Demazure descent data119863119908 119908 isin 119882 of the type (119868 119883 119884)

Definition 5 The descent category Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) isthe full subcategory in C consisting of objects 119872 such thatfor all 119894 the cones of the counit maps 119863119904119894

(119872)120598

997888rarr 119872 areisomorphic to 0

Remark 6 Suppose that C has functorial cones ThenDesc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) a full triangulated subcategory inC being the intersection of kernels of Cone(119863119904119894 rarr Id)However one can prove this statement not using functorialityof cones

Lemma 7 An object 119872 isin Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturallya comodule over each 119863119904119894

Proof By definition the comonad maps

119904119894 120598 119863119904119894

For Demazure descent data we require that 120578 is an iso-morphism so 120598 ∘ 119863119904119894

is also an isomorphism Let 119872 isin

Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) That Cone(119863119904119894(119872)120598

997888rarr 119872) is

isomorphic to 0 is equivalent to saying that 119863119904119894(119872)

120598

997888rarr 119872

is an isomorphism This gives the commutative diagramConsider

Thus 120598minus1 satisfies the axiom for the coaction

Remark 8 Recall that in the usual descent setting either inAlgebraic Geometry or in abstract Category Theory (Barr-Beck theorem) descent data includes a pair of adjoint functorsand their composition which is a comonad By definition thedescent category for such data is the category of comodulesover this comonad Our definition of Desc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882)

for Demazure descent data formally is not about comodulesyet the previous Lemma demonstrates that every object ofDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturally equipped with struc-tures of a comodule over each 119863119894 and any morphism inDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is a morphism of 119863119894-comodules

Let 1199081015840 be any element in 119882 and 119904 a simple reflection Then

be two reduced expressions for119908 By Lemma 10 thisimplies that 1198751198941 sdot sdot sdot 119875119894119899 = 1198751198951

sdot sdot sdot 119875119895119899 By [8 Theorem 31] the 119861-

Δ 1198941∘ sdot sdot sdot ∘ Δ 119894119899

≃ Δ 1198951∘ sdot sdot sdot ∘ Δ 119895119899

(20)

Hence for any choice of reduced expression we can define

Δ119908 = Δ 1198941∘ sdot sdot sdot ∘ Δ 119894119898

(21)

Let1199081 and1199082 be elements in119882 such that ℓ(11990811199082) = ℓ(1199081) +

sdot sdot sdot 119904119895119905is a reduced

Define

(23)

The braid relations for 119863119908 now follows from the braidrelations for Δ119908

1198631199081∘ 1198631199082

Theorem 11 Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is equivalent to119863119887(Rep (119866))

Proof Let119872 isin 119863119887(Rep(119861)) Being able to extend119872 to an ele-

ment in119863119887(Rep(119866) is equivalent to119872 being in the image of119871

Assume119872 = 119871(119873) for some119873 isin 119863119887(Rep(119866))Then119863(119872) =

Claim ker(119862) = ⋂119894ker(119862119894)

Proof of Claim Assume that 119872 isin ker(119862) Then 119872 = 119871(119873)

for some 119873 isin 119863119887(Rep(119866)) But then 119872 = 119871 119894(119873|119875119894

This completes the proof of the claimFrom the claim we get that

Fix a root data (119868 119883 119884) of the finite type with the Weylgroup 119882 and the braid monoid Br+ Consider a triangulatedcategoryC

Definition 3 A weak braid monoid action on the categoryCis a collection of triangulated functors

119863119908 C 997888rarr C 119908 isin 119882 (7)

satisfying braid monoid relations that is for all 1199081 1199082 isin 119882

there exist isomorphisms of functors

Notice that we neither fix the braid relations isomor-phisms nor impose any additional relations on them

Definition 4 Demazure descent data on the category C is aweak braidmonoid action 119863119908 such that for each simple root119904119894 the corresponding functor 119863119904119894

is a comonad for which thecomonad map 119863119904119894

119904119894is an isomorphism

Here is the central construction of the paper Consider atriangulated category C with a fixed Demazure descent data119863119908 119908 isin 119882 of the type (119868 119883 119884)

Remark 6 Suppose that C has functorial cones ThenDesc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) a full triangulated subcategory inC being the intersection of kernels of Cone(119863119904119894 rarr Id)However one can prove this statement not using functorialityof cones

Lemma 7 An object 119872 isin Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturallya comodule over each 119863119904119894

For Demazure descent data we require that 120578 is an iso-morphism so 120598 ∘ 119863119904119894

is also an isomorphism Let 119872 isin

Desc(C 119863119908 119908 isin 119882) That Cone(119863119904119894(119872)120598

isomorphic to 0 is equivalent to saying that 119863119904119894(119872)

Remark 8 Recall that in the usual descent setting either inAlgebraic Geometry or in abstract Category Theory (Barr-Beck theorem) descent data includes a pair of adjoint functorsand their composition which is a comonad By definition thedescent category for such data is the category of comodulesover this comonad Our definition of Desc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882)

for Demazure descent data formally is not about comodulesyet the previous Lemma demonstrates that every object ofDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is naturally equipped with struc-tures of a comodule over each 119863119894 and any morphism inDesc(119862119863119908 119908 isin 119882) is a morphism of 119863119894-comodules

sdot sdot sdot 119875119895119899 By [8 Theorem 31] the 119861-

be two reduced expressions for119908 By Lemma 10 thisimplies that 1198751198941 sdot sdot sdot 119875119894119899 = 1198751198951

sdot sdot sdot 119875119895119899 By [8 Theorem 31] the 119861-

Hence for any choice of reduced expression we can define

Δ119908 = Δ 1198941∘ sdot sdot sdot ∘ Δ 119894119898

(21)

Let1199081 and1199082 be elements in119882 such that ℓ(11990811199082) = ℓ(1199081) +

Define

119863119908 = 119877 (Δ119908)

The braid relations for 119863119908 now follows from the braidrelations for Δ119908
