1. Introduction
1.1. Fourier–Mukai transform on abelian varieties
Mukai [Reference Mukai33, Section 2] introduces an analog of the Fourier transform for sheaves of modules on abelian varieties, known as the Fourier–Mukai transform. Laumon [Reference Laumon23] and Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36] study independently its lift to sheaves with connection (integrable or not). They both prove the Fourier inversion formula for the lift. Laumon [Reference Laumon23, Theorem 6.3.3] applies it to investigate generalized
$1$
-motives. Meanwhile, as an application, Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 3.2] recovers Matsushima’s theorem [Reference Matsushima29]: every vector bundle on an abelian variety admitting a connection is translation invariant. Schnell’s work [Reference Schnell41] about holonomic D-modules on abelian varieties also relies upon the lift of the Fourier–Mukai transform.
Let k be an algebraically closed field. For an algebraic variety V over k, let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_V)$
be the abelian category of
$O_V$
-modules. Let
$D(O_V)$
(resp.
$D^b(O_V)$
) be the unbounded (resp. bounded) derived category of
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_V)$
. Denote by
$D_{\mathrm {qc}}(O_V)\subset D(O_V)$
(resp.
$D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_V)\subset D^b(O_V)$
) the full subcategory of objects whose cohomologies are quasi-coherent (resp. coherent)
$O_V$
-modules. Let A, B be abelian varieties over k dual to each other. Set
$g:=\dim A$
. Let
$p_A:A\times B\to A$
and
$p_B:A\times B\to B$
denote the projections. Let
${\mathcal {P}}$
be the normalized Poincaré line bundle on
$A\times B$
. We adopt the following sign convention for the Fourier–Mukai transform:
For a triangulated category, let T denote the degree shift automorphism. Mukai [Reference Mukai33, Theorem 2.2] establishes an analog of the Fourier inversion formula.
Fact 1.1 (Mukai)
-
(i) There are isomorphisms of functors
$$ \begin{align*}\mathcal{F}'\circ \mathcal{F}& \cong T^{-g}:D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_A)\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_A),\\ \mathcal{F}\circ \mathcal{F}' & \cong T^{-g}:D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_B)\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_B). \end{align*} $$
In particular, $\mathcal {F}':D_{\mathrm {qc}}(O_B)\to D_{\mathrm {qc}}(O_A)$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories, with a quasi-inverse
$T^g \mathcal {F}$
. -
(ii) The functor $\mathcal {F}':D(O_B)\to D(O_A)$
restricts to an equivalence
$D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_B)\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_A)$
.
Let
$0\to H^0(A,\Omega _A^1)\to B^{\natural }\overset {\pi }{\to } B\to 0$
be the universal vectorial extension of B (constructed in [Reference Rosenlicht35, Proposition 11]). For an algebraic variety V, denote by
$\mathrm {for}_V:D(D_V)\to D(O_V)$
the forgetful functor. Let
$D_{\mathrm {qc}}(D_A)\subset D(D_A)$
(resp.
$D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_A)\subset D^b(D_A)$
) be the full subcategory of objects whose cohomologies are quasi-coherent
$O_A$
-modules (resp. coherent
$D_A$
-modules). Laumon and Rothstein lift the Fourier transform to D-modules and establish a duality result similar to Fact 1.1.
Fact 1.2 (Laumon and Rothstein)
Let A and B be dual abelian varieties of dimension g.
-
(i) There exist triangulated functors
$$\begin{align*}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}:D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_{B^{\natural}})\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(D_A),\quad \tilde{\mathcal{F}}:D_{\mathrm{qc}}(D_A)\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_{B^{\natural}})\end{align*}$$such that there exist isomorphisms of functors
$$\begin{align*}R\pi_*\tilde{\mathcal{F}}\cong \mathcal{F}\mathrm{for}_A\colon D_{\mathrm{qc}}(D_A) \to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_B),\quad \mathrm{for}_A\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}\cong \mathcal{F}'R\pi_*\colon D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_{B^{\natural}}) \to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_A).\end{align*}$$
-
(ii) ([Reference Laumon23, Theorem 3.2.1] and [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 4.5]) There are isomorphisms of functors
$$ \begin{align*}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}\tilde{\mathcal{F}} & \cong T^{-g}:D_{\mathrm{qc}}(D_A)\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(D_A),\\ \tilde{\mathcal{F}}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural} & \cong T^{-g}: D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_{B^{\natural}} )\to D_{\mathrm{qc}}(O_{B^{\natural}} ).\end{align*} $$
Thus, $\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }:D_{\mathrm {qc}}(O_{B^{\natural }} )\to D_{\mathrm {qc}}(D_A)$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories. -
(iii) ([Reference Laumon23, Corollary 3.1.3]) The functor $\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }:D_{\mathrm {qc}}(O_{B^{\natural }} )\to D_{\mathrm {qc}}(D_A)$
restricts to an equivalence
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }:D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_{B^{\natural }} )\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_A)$
.
Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 6.2] formulates Fact 1.2(iii) in a slightly different way, which we recall. Because
$\pi :B^{\natural }\to B$
is an affine morphism of finite type of schemes,
$\mathcal {A}_B:=\pi _*O_{B^{\natural }}$
is a quasi-coherent
$O_B$
-algebra of finite type. By [Reference Grothendieck9, Proposition 9.6.1], an
$\mathcal {A}_B$
-module F is quasi-coherent if and only if F is quasi-coherent over
$O_B$
. Let
$\mathrm {Qch}(\mathcal {A}_B)$
(resp.
$\mathrm {Coh}(\mathcal {A}_B)$
) be the category of quasi-coherent (resp. coherent)
$\mathcal {A}_B$
-modules. Then
are equivalences of abelian categories. Let
$D_{\mathrm {qc}}(\mathcal {A}_B)\subset D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_B))$
(resp.
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(\mathcal {A}_B)\subset D^b(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_B))$
) be the full subcategory of complexes whose cohomologies are quasi-coherent (resp. coherent) over
$\mathcal {A}_B$
. Then
are equivalences of triangulated categories. Thus, one can rewrite Fact 1.2 in terms of
$\mathcal {A}_B$
instead of
$O_{B^{\natural }}$
.
1.2. Fourier–Mukai transform on complex tori
Let X and Y be complex tori dual to each other of dimension g. Define the analytic Fourier–Mukai transform
$\mathcal {F}':D(O_X)\to D(O_Y)$
and
$\mathcal {F}:D(O_Y)\to D(O_X)$
as in (1). In [Reference Ben-Bassat, Block and Pantev3, Theorem 2.1], a result similar to Fact 1.1 is established for complex tori. As [Reference Liu25, Theorem 5.0.1] illustrates, one should replace the quasi-coherent sheaves in the algebraic setting with good sheaves [Reference Kashiwara15, Definition 4.22] in the analytic setting. For a complex manifold Z, let
$D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_Z)\subset D(O_Z)$
be the full subcategory of objects whose cohomologies are good
$O_Z$
-modules.
Fact 1.3 (Mukai, Ben-Bassat, Block, and Pantev)
There are isomorphisms of functors
In particular,
$\mathcal {F}':D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_X)\to D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_Y)$
(resp.
$\mathcal {F}':D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_X)\to D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_Y)$
) is an equivalence of triangulated categories with a quasi-inverse
$D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_Y)\to D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_X)$
(resp.
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_Y)\to D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_X)$
) defined by
$T^g\mathcal {F}$
.
We lift the analytic Fourier–Mukai transform to D-modules and give an analog of Fact 1.2 for complex tori. However, instead of working with the universal vectorial extension
$\pi :X^{\natural }\to X$
directly as in the algebraic case, we have to substitute
$O_{X^{\natural }}$
with its variant
$\mathcal {A}_X$
. In fact, the proof of Fact 1.2(ii) applies the flat base change theorem to the Cartesian square of algebraic varieties

By contrast, [Reference Liu25, Remark 4.2.9] shows that the analytic flat base change theorem [Reference Liu25, Theorem 1.3.2] needs an extra properness assumption. Whenever
$g>0$
,
$X^{\natural }$
is not compact, so the projection
${X^{\natural }\times Y\to Y}$
is not proper. This is why we replace
$O_{X^{\natural }}$
with an
$O_X$
-algebra on the compact complex manifold X. Additionally, the
$O_X$
-algebra
$\pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
is not of finite type, and it is unclear whether it is a good sheaf on X, while
$\mathcal {A}_X\subset \pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
is a subalgebra of finite type and good over
$O_X$
.
A coherent algebraic D-module admits a global good filtration, which fails in the analytic setup. For this reason, it is unclear whether
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}\colon D(D_Y)\to D(\mathcal{A}_X)$
below sends a coherent analytic
$D_Y$
-module into
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. A coherent analytic D-module is good if it admits a good filtration over every relatively compact open subset. Similarly, one can define good
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-modules. For a complex manifold Z and a (possibly noncommutative)
$O_Z$
-algebra
$\mathcal {R}$
, let
$D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})\subset D(\mathcal {R})$
(resp.
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})\subset D^b(\mathcal {R})$
) be the full subcategory of objects whose cohomologies are good over
$O_Z$
(resp.
$\mathcal {R}$
). Let
$\mathrm {for}_X:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)$
be the forgetful functor.
Theorem 1.4. Let X and Y be dual complex tori of dimension g.
-
(i) (Proposition 5.3) There is a commutative $O_X$
-algebra of finite type
$\mathcal {A}_X$
, and triangulated functors $$\begin{align*}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}\colon D(D_Y)\to D(\mathcal{A}_X), \quad \tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}:D(\mathcal{A}_X)\to D(D_Y)\end{align*}$$such that there exist isomorphisms of functors
$$\begin{align*}\mathrm{for}_X\tilde{\mathcal{F}}\cong \mathcal{F}\mathrm{for}_Y\colon D(D_Y)\to D(O_X), \quad \mathrm{for}_Y\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}\cong \mathcal{F}'\mathrm{for}_X\colon D(A_X)\to D(O_Y).\end{align*}$$
-
(ii) (Theorem 5.4) There are isomorphisms of functors
$$ \begin{align*} \tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}& \cong T^{-g}:D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_Y)\to D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_Y),\\ \tilde{\mathcal{F}}\tilde{\mathcal{F}}^{\natural} & \cong T^{-g}: D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(\mathcal{A}_X)\to D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(\mathcal{A}_X). \end{align*} $$
Thus, $\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }\colon D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories. -
(iii) (Theorem 6.10) The functor $\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }\colon D(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D(D_Y)$
restricts to an equivalence
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }:D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
.
Notation and conventions. For a sheaf F on a topological space, let
$\mathrm {Supp} F$
be its support. For a (not necessarily commutative) ringed space
$(X,\mathcal {R})$
, let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {R})$
be the category of left
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules. Let
$\mathrm {Coh}(\mathcal {R})\subset \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {R})$
be the full subcategory of coherent
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules in the sense of [45, Tag 01BV]. Given a symbol
$*\in \{\emptyset ,+,-,b\}$
, the notation
$D^{\ast }(\mathcal {R})$
refers to the unbounded/bounded below/bounded above/bounded derived derived category of the abelian category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {R})$
in order. Let
$D^*_{\mathrm {coh}}(\mathcal {R})\subset D^*(\mathcal {R})$
be the full subcategory of objects whose cohomologies are coherent
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules.
Let k be an algebraically closed field. An algebraic variety refers to an integral scheme of finite type and separated over k. For a complex manifold Z and
$z\in Z$
, let
$i_z:\{z\}\hookrightarrow Z$
be the inclusion. Set
$\mathbb {C}_{(z)}:=(i_z)_*\mathbb {C}$
, which is a coherent
$O_Z$
-module supported at z. Let X and Y be complex tori dual to each other and of dimension g. Set
$\mathfrak {g}:=H^1(X,O_X)$
.
2. Review of Rothstein’s splittings and connections
For the convenience of the reader, we review [Reference Rothstein37, Section 2.1] and adapt some results in the algebraic setup for the analytic setup.
2.1. Categories of splittings
By [Reference Hartshorne12, Ch. III, Proposition 6.3(c)], for a complex manifold Z and a (holomorphic) vector bundle M on Z, one has
$H^1(Z,M)=\mathrm {Ext}^1(O_Z,M)$
. Thus, every
$\alpha \in H^1(Z,M)$
determines a short exact sequence in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)$
By [45, Tag 05NJ], since
$O_Z$
is flat over itself, for every
$F\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)$
, the sequence (2) tensored with F
remains exact.
Definition 2.1. Define a category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{\alpha -\mathrm {sp}}$
as follows: the objects are pairs
$(F,\psi )$
, where F is an
$O_Z$
-module, and
$\psi :F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes _{O_Z}F$
is an
$\alpha $
-splitting on F, that is, an
$O_Z$
-linear splitting of
$\mu _{\alpha }\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F:\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes F\to F$
. The morphisms in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{\alpha -\mathrm {sp}}$
are
$O_Z$
-linear and required to be compatible with the splittings.
Example 2.2. If
$M=\Omega _Z^1$
,
$\alpha =0$
in
$H^1(Z,\Omega _Z^1)$
, and if F is a vector bundle on Z, then an
$\alpha $
-splitting
$\psi :F\to \mathcal {E}_0\otimes _{O_Z}F$
is exactly a holomorphic
$1$
-form on Z with values in
$\mathcal {E} nd(F)$
. The pair
$(F,\psi )$
is a Higgs bundle (in the sense of [Reference Simpson43, p. 6]) if and only if
$[\psi ,\psi ]=0$
.
Lemma 2.3. Fix
$\alpha \in H^1(Z,M)$
. For an
$O_Z$
-module F, there is an
$\alpha $
-splitting on F if and only if
$i_*:H^1(Z,M)\to H^1(Z,M\otimes _{O_Z} \mathcal {E} nd(F))$
sends
$\alpha $
to
$0$
. In that case, the set of
$\alpha $
-splittings on F has a natural simple transitive action of the abelian group
$\mathrm {Hom}_{O_Z}(F,M\otimes _{O_Z}F)$
.
Proof. The stated map
$i_*\colon H^1(Z,M)\to H^1(Z,M\otimes _{O_Z} \mathcal {E} nd(F))$
is induced by the natural morphism of
$O_Z$
-modules
There is a canonical evaluation morphism
By construction of i, the left part of the diagram

is commutative. One has
so
$\mathrm {ev}\circ (i\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F)\colon M\otimes _{O_Z}F\to M\otimes _{O_Z}F$
is the identity. Therefore, the triangle on the right of the diagram is also commutative.
By definition, F admits an
$\alpha $
-splitting if and only if the exact sequence (3) splits. The extension class of (3) is
$\alpha \otimes F\in \mathrm {Ext}^1(F,M\otimes F)$
. By the five-term exact sequence associated with the spectral sequence,
the composition of the two morphisms on the top of the diagram is injective. This injective map sends
$i_*(\alpha )$
to
$\alpha \otimes F$
, so
$\alpha \otimes F=0$
is equivalent to
$i_*(\alpha )=0$
.
For two
$\alpha $
-splittings
$\psi $
,
$\psi ' $
on F, their difference
$\psi '-\psi \colon F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes _{O_Z}F$
is an
$O_Z$
-linear morphism. Because of
$\psi '-\psi $
factors through
$\ker (\mu _{\alpha }\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F)=M\otimes _{O_Z}F$
, hence
$\psi '-\psi \in \mathrm {Hom}_{O_Z}(F,M\otimes _{O_Z}F)$
. For every
$O_Z$
-linear morphism
$\phi \colon F\to M\otimes _{O_Z}F$
, the sum
$\psi +\phi\colon F\to \mathcal{E}_{\alpha}\otimes_{O_Z} F $
is an
$\alpha $
-splitting on F. Therefore, the action of
$\mathrm {Hom}_{O_Z}(F,M\otimes _{O_Z}F)$
on the set of
$\alpha $
-splittings on F is simple transitive.
To each object
$(F,\psi )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{\alpha -\mathrm {sp}}$
, we assign an element
as follows. The sequence (2) induces a short exact sequence
where
for any local sections
$\rho _i\in \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
(
$i=1,2$
). The flatness of M ensures the exactness when tensoring with F:
Let
$a:\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\to \wedge ^2\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
be the morphism defined by
$e\otimes e'\mapsto e\wedge e'$
. Let
$\psi ^1$
be the
$O_Z$
-linear composition
where the isomorphism in the middle is from the associativity of tensor product.
Lemma 2.4. For every
$(F,\psi )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{\alpha -\mathrm {sp}}$
, the composition
$(\omega _{\alpha }\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F) \psi ^1\psi \colon F\to M\otimes _{O_Z} F$
is zero.
Proof. Locally, the vector bundle
$\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
has a (holomorphic) frame
$\{e_1,\dots ,e_r\}$
. For a local section
${f\in F}$
, write
$\psi (f)=\sum _{i=1}^re_i\otimes f_i$
, where the
$f_i$
are local sections of F. For every
$1\le i\le r$
, write
$\psi (f_i)=\sum _{j=1}^re_j\otimes f_j^{(i)}$
, where the
$f_j^{(i)}$
are local sections of F. As
$\psi :F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes F$
is a section to
$\mu _{\alpha }\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F:\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes F\to F$
, one has
From (6), one has
By construction, one has
$\psi ^1\psi (f)=\sum _{i,j=1}^r(e_i\wedge e_j)\otimes f_j^{(i)}$
. Then
From Lemma 2.4 and (5),
$\psi ^1\psi \colon F\to (\wedge ^2\mathcal {E}_{\alpha })\otimes F$
factors through
$(\wedge ^2M)\otimes F$
, which induces an element
$[\psi ,\psi ]\in \Gamma (Z,(\wedge ^2M)\otimes _{O_Z} \mathcal {E} nd(F))$
.
Example 2.5. Let X be a complex torus, and set
$\mathfrak {g}:=H^1(X,O_X)$
. One has
Hence, we assign an extension
$\mathcal {E}_T$
of
$O_X$
by
$\mathfrak {g}^*\otimes _{\mathbb {C}} O_X$
and a category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{T-\mathrm {sp}}$
to each
$T\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
. The identity element
$1\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
corresponds to the tautological exact sequence
We also write
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
for
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{1-\mathrm {sp}}$
. For every
$(F,\psi )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
,
$[\psi ,\psi ]$
lies in
and we recover [Reference Rothstein36, Equation (4.8)]. Similarly, as
$H^1(X\times X,\mathfrak {g}^*\otimes O_{X\times X})=\mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})\oplus \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
, for every pair
$T_1,T_2\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
, the category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times X})_{(T_1,T_2)-\mathrm {sp}}$
is defined.
2.2. Categories of twisted connections
We review the twisted (relative) connections introduced in [Reference Rothstein37, p. 206]. For a submersion of complex manifolds
$f:Z\to S$
, let
$\Omega _{Z/S}^1$
be the relative cotangent sheaf, which is a vector bundle on Z. Let
$d_f:O_Z\to \Omega _{Z/S}^1$
denote the differential relative to
$f:Z\to S$
. An element
$\alpha \in H^1(Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
determines an extension
Definition 2.6. On an
$O_Z$
-module F, an
$\alpha $
-connection is an
$f^{-1}(O_S)$
-linear splitting
$\nabla :F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes _{O_Z} F$
to
$\mu _{\alpha }\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F:\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes _{O_Z} F\to F$
, satisfying the Leibniz rule
where h and
$\phi $
are local sections of
$O_Z$
and F, respectively. Let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,\alpha -\mathrm {cxn}}$
be the category of pairs
$(F,\nabla )$
, where F is an
$O_Z$
-module and
$\nabla $
is an
$\alpha $
-connection on F. The morphisms in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,\alpha -\mathrm {cxn}}$
are
$O_Z$
-linear and required to be compatible with the
$\alpha $
-connections.
Example 2.7. If
$\alpha =0$
in
$H^1(Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
, then the
$\alpha $
-connections are exactly the f-relative connections. Let
$\Theta _{Z/S}$
be the relative tangent sheaf for
$f:Z\to S$
, which is the vector bundle dual to
$\Omega _{Z/S}^1$
. Let
$D_{Z/S}$
be the sheaf of rings of relative differential operators on
$Z/S$
defined in [Reference Schapira and Schneiders40, p. 9]. Define a sheaf
$\tilde {D}_{Z/S}$
of
$O_Z$
-algebras as follows, of which
$D_{Z/S}$
is naturally a quotient. Roughly, different from the definition of
$D_{Z/S}$
, when defining
$\tilde {D}_{Z/S}$
, we omit the commutation relations between vector fields in order to describe non-flat connections.
Explicitly, let
$\{U_i\}_{i\in I}$
be an open cover of Z, and for every
$i\in I$
, let
$\{\xi _1^{(i)},\dots ,\xi _n^{(i)}\}$
be a local frame of
$\Theta _{Z/S}$
on
$U_i$
. Endow
$\mathcal {F}_i:=O_{U_i}\{\xi _1^{(i)},\dots ,\xi _n^{(i)}\}$
with the multiplication law satisfying the commutation relation
$[\xi ^{(i)}_q,h]=\xi ^{(i)}_q(h)$
for any
$1\le q\le n$
and local section h of
$O_{U_i}$
. For each
$i,j,k\in I$
, set
$U_{ij}:=U_i\cap U_j$
and
$U_{ijk}=U_i\cap U_j\cap U_k$
. For
$1\le q\le n$
, there exists a unique tuple
$(f_{qr})_{r=1}^n$
in
$O_Z(U_{ij})$
such that
$\xi _q^{(i)}|_{U_{ij}}=\sum _{r=1}^nf_{qr}\xi _r^{(j)}$
. Because for every local section h of
$O_{ U_{ij} }$
, one has
there is a unique morphism
$\varphi _{ij} :\mathcal {F}_i|_{ U_{ij} } \to \mathcal {F}_j|_{ U_{ij} } $
of
$O_{ U_{ij} }$
-algebras mapping the
$\xi _q^{(i)}$
to
$\sum _{r=1}^nf_{qr}\xi _r^{(j)}$
. Then
$\varphi _{ii}={\mathrm {Id}}_{\mathcal {F}_i}$
. By construction, the cocycle relation
$\varphi _{ik}=\varphi _{jk}\varphi _{ij}$
holds on
$U_{ijk}$
. In particular,
$\varphi _{ij}:\mathcal {F}_i|_{U_{ij}}\xrightarrow {\sim } \mathcal {F}_j|_{U_{ij}}$
is an isomorphism of
$O_{U_{ij}}$
-algebras. By gluing the sheaves
$\{\mathcal {F}_i\}_{i\in I}$
via the isomorphisms
$\{\varphi _{ij}\}_{i,j\in I}$
, one obtains
$\tilde {D}_{Z/S}$
. For every
$i\in I$
, the kernel of the surjection
$\tilde {D}_{Z/S}|_{U_i}\twoheadrightarrow D_{Z/S}|_{U_i}$
is the bilateral ideal generated by the sections
$[\xi _q^{(i)},\xi _r^{(i)}]$
with
$1\le q,r\le n$
.
Then
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(Z)_{f\!,0-\mathrm {cxn}}=\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\tilde {D}_{Z/S})$
. The category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,0-\mathrm {cxn}}$
is denoted by
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{\mathrm {cxn}}$
when
$f:Z\to S$
is the structure morphism
$Z\to \mathrm {Specan}(\mathbb {C})$
.
Remark 2.8. Given
$\alpha \in H^1(Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
, we explain why an
$\alpha $
-connection is a particular kind of splittings. Let
$\mathcal {E}_{\alpha '}:=\mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
as an abelian sheaf on Z, but with the following
$O_Z$
-module structure: For any local sections
$h\in O_Z$
and
$s\in \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
, we define
$h\bullet s\in \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }$
by
$hs+\mu _{\alpha }(s)d_{\!f}\!h$
. One has
For another local section
$h'\in O_Z$
, one has
where (a) uses (11). Therefore, this construction is indeed an
$O_Z$
-module structure on
$\mathcal {E}_{\alpha '}$
.
By (11),
$\mu _{\alpha }\colon \mathcal {E}_{\alpha '}\to O_Z$
is
$O_Z$
-linear, so it gives rise to an extension of
$O_Z$
-modules
Let
$\alpha '\in \mathrm {Ext}^1(O_Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
be the extension class of (12). The passage from
$\alpha $
to
$\alpha '$
is to turn
$f^{-1}O_S$
-linear splittings to
$O_Z$
-linear splittings. More precisely, for every
$O_Z$
-module F, giving an
$\alpha $
-connection
$\nabla :F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha }\otimes _{O_Z} F$
is equivalent to giving an
$\alpha '$
-splitting
$\psi :F\to \mathcal {E}_{\alpha '}\otimes _{O_Z}F$
. Hence, we get an equivalence of categories
Let
$P^1_{Z/S}$
be the sheaf of principal parts of first order of
$f:Z\to S$
[Reference Grothendieck10, Définition 16.3.1]. If
$\alpha =0$
, then (12) is the prolongation sequence
Let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,\alpha -\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
be the full subcategory of
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,\alpha -\mathrm {cxn}}$
of objects whose connections are integrable in the sense of [Reference Rothstein37, Remark, p. 206]. Then
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,0-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
coincides with
$\operatorname {\mathrm {MIC}}(f)$
defined in [Reference André, Baldassarri and Cailotto1, Sec. 4.3.7], which is further equivalent to
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_{Z/S})$
.
Example 2.9. Let X and Y be dual complex tori, and let
$p_X:X\times Y\to X$
be the projection. Since
$\Omega _{X\times Y/X}^1=p_X^*(\mathfrak {g}^*\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}O_X)$
, there is a natural morphism
For every
$T\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
, the category
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{p_X\!,p_X^*T-\mathrm {cxn}}$
(resp.
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{p_X\!,p_X^*T-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
) is also written as
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{T-\mathrm {cxn}}$
(resp.
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{T-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
).
By [Reference Rothstein37, pp. 206–207], the Poincaré bundle
${\mathcal {P}}$
is naturally an object of
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{-1-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
. In local coordinates, the
$p_X^*(-1)$
-connection on
${\mathcal {P}}$
is explained in [Reference Rothstein36, Equation (1.10) and p. 575ff.], except that we use a Stein open cover of X instead of Rothestein’s affine open cover.
2.3. Functors between categories of splittings and categories of twisted connections
Recall that the Fourier–Mukai transform (1) is the composition of the pullback, the tensor product with
${\mathcal {P,}}$
as well as the derived direct image. Rothstein’s lift to modules with connection keeps an extra track of the splittings and the connections.
Remark 2.10. Combining [Reference Rothstein37, Equation (2.21)] with the fact that
$\alpha $
-connections are kinds of splittings (Remark 2.8), the categories under consideration (
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
,
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{T-\mathrm {cxn}}$
, etc.) are equivalent to categories of modules over sheaves of certain noncommutative flat O-algebras. In particular, each of them is a Grothendieck abelian category. By [45, Tag 079P], each category has enough K-injectives. From [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Lemma 1.5.2(ii)], each category has enough objects flat over O. By [45, Tags 070K and 079P], all the (left exact) direct image functors involved below admit right derived functors on the unbounded derived categories.
2.3.1. Functor turning splittings to connections
Given
$T\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
and
$(F,\psi )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{T-\mathrm {sp}}$
, the induced morphism
is
$p_X^{-1}O_X$
-linear. By Example 2.9, there is a short exact sequence
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})$
. Its extension class is
$p_X^*T\in H^1(X\times Y,\Omega _{X\times Y/X}^1)$
. Define another
$p_X^{-1}O_X$
-linear morphism
by
where h (resp. s) is a local section of
$O_{X\times Y}$
(resp.
$p_X^{-1}F$
). By construction,
$\nabla _{\psi }$
satisfies the Leibniz rule (10). So it is a
$p_X^*T$
-connection on
$p_X^*F$
. Thus, we get the exact functor in [Reference Rothstein37, Equation (2.5)]:
2.3.2. Tensoring with Poincaré bundle
By [Reference Rothstein37, Equation (2.10)], the functor
restricts to
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{1-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}(\cong \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_{X\times Y/X}))$
. The functor (14) is an equivalence of abelian categories, with a quasi-inverse
2.3.3. Functor turning connections to splittings
For every
$(F,\nabla )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{1-\mathrm {cxn}}$
, the morphism
is a
$p_X^{-1}O_X$
-linear splitting to
$(p_X^{-1}\mu _1)\otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F$
. By the projection formula (see, e.g., [Reference Kashiwara and Schapira16, Proposition 2.6.6]), the induced morphism
is an
$O_X$
-linear splitting to
$\mu _1\otimes _{O_X} {\mathrm {Id}}_{p_{X*}F}$
. Hence,
$(p_{X*}F,p_{X*}\nabla )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
. Thus, one has a left exact functor
If
$(F,\nabla )$
is integrable, then
$[p_{X*}\nabla ,p_{X*}\nabla ]$
defined in (4) is zero.
2.3.4. Functors between the categories of connections
We define the inverse image and the direct image of relative connections on changing bases. Consider a Cartesian square of complex manifolds

where
$f:Z\to S$
is a submersion. By Remark 2.8, for every
$(F,\nabla )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,0-\mathrm {cxn}}$
, the relative connection
$\nabla :F\to \Omega _{Z/S}^1 \otimes _{O_Z}F$
is equivalent to an
$O_Z$
-linear splitting
$\psi :F\to P_{Z/S}^1 \otimes _{O_Z} F$
to the natural projection
$P^1_{Z/S}\otimes _{O_Z}F\to F$
. Then
$g^{\prime *}\psi :g^{\prime *}F\to P_{W/T}^1 \otimes _{O_W}g^{\prime *}F$
is an
$O_W$
-linear splitting to the natural projection
$P^1_{W/T}\otimes _{O_W}g^{\prime *}F\to g^{\prime *}F$
, or equivalently, a relative connection
$g^{\prime *}F\to \Omega _{W/T}^1\otimes _{O_W}g^{\prime *}F$
. Thus, one gets an inverse image functor
It is right exact. By [Reference André, Baldassarri and Cailotto1, Section 5.1], the connection induced by
$\nabla $
is integrable if
$\nabla $
is so.
Fix
$\alpha \in H^1(Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
. By the projection formula (see, e.g., [Reference Hartshorne12, Ch. II, Example 5.1(d)]), for every
$(F,\nabla )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{W})_{f',g^{\prime *}\alpha -\mathrm {cxn}}$
, one has
Then the induced morphism
is
$f^{-1}(O_S)$
-linear. Since
$d_{f'}:O_{W}\to \Omega _{f'}^1$
and
$d_f:O_Z\to \Omega _{Z/S}^1$
are related by
$g^{\prime *}d_f=d_{f'}$
, the induced map
$g^{\prime }_*\nabla $
satisfies the Leibniz rule (10) and hence
$(g^{\prime }_*F,g^{\prime }_*\nabla )\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)_{f\!,\alpha -\mathrm {cxn}}$
. In this manner, we get a left exact functor
When
$\alpha =0$
, the functor (18) restricts to
$\operatorname {\mathrm {MIC}}(f') \to \operatorname {\mathrm {MIC}}(f)$
.
Example 2.11. Take (16) to be

Then
$p_Y^*:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}}\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn}}$
sits on the left of [Reference Rothstein37, Diagram (2.15)], and
is [Reference Rothstein37, Equation (2.12)]. They restrict, respectively, to functors
Remark 2.12. Take
$\alpha =0\in H^1(Z,\Omega _{Z/S}^1)$
. From another point of view, the morphism
${O_Z\to g^{\prime }_*O_W}$
between sheaves of rings extends to a morphism
$\tilde {D}_{Z/S}\to g^{\prime }_*\tilde {D}_{W/T}$
. Then (17) and (18) are, respectively, the pullback and the pushforward along the induced morphism
$(W,\tilde {D}_{W/T})\to (Z,\tilde {D}_{Z/S})$
of ringed spaces. By [45, Tag 0096], the functor (17) is the left adjoint to (18). Then from [45, Tag 09T5], the derived functor
is the left adjoint to
3. Rothstein transform on modules with connection
For dual abelian varieties A, B over an algebraically closed field k, Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36, p. 571] introduces a pair of triangulated functors which interchanges sheaves with splittings on B and sheaves with connections on A. He [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 2.2] proves that this pair gives rise to an equivalence between the bounded derived categories of such sheaves. We extend Rothstein’s transform to the analytic setup. Let X and Y be dual complex tori. Let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
be the category of
$O_X$
-modules F equipped with a
$1$
-splitting
$\psi :F\to \mathcal {E}\otimes _{O_X}F$
. Let
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}}$
be the category of
$O_Y$
-modules E equipped with a connection
$\nabla :E\to E\otimes _{O_Y}\Omega _Y^1$
.
3.1. Compatibility of Rothstein transform and Fourier–Mukai transform
The exact functor (13) induces a triangulated functor
$p_X^*\colon D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})\to D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{1-\mathrm {cxn}})$
. Let
be the right derived functors of (15) and (19), respectively. We also write
$Rp_{Y*}$
for
$Rp_{Y*}^{(\mathrm {cxn})}$
. In Definition 3.1, the passage between the category of connections and the category of splittings originates from the functors
$p_X^*$
and
$Rp_{X*}$
.
Definition 3.1. For dual complex tori X and Y, define triangulated functors
The pair
$({\mathfrak {F}},{\mathfrak {F}}')$
is called the Rothstein transform for
$(X,Y)$
.
Let
$D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}})\subset D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}})$
and
$D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})\subset D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})$
be the full subcategories of objects whose cohomologies are good O-modules. Proposition 3.2 shows that the Rothstein transform is compatible with the Fourier–Mukai transform. Let
be the forgetful functors.
Proposition 3.2. For dual complex tori X and Y, there are isomorphisms of functors
In particular, the Rothstein transform restricts to functors
Proof. Let
$\mathrm {for}_{X\times Y}:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn}}\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})$
be the forgetful functor. All the functors (13), (14),
as well as the forgetful functors involved in the proof are exact.
To prove the first isomorphism, it remains to show that there is an isomorphism of functors
Since
$\mathrm {for}_Y:D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}}) \to D(O_Y)$
is exact,
$\mathrm {for}_YRp_{Y*}^{(\mathrm {cxn})}:D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn}})\to D(O_Y)$
is the right derived functor of
From Remark 2.10, [45, Tags 0096 and 08BJ],
$\mathrm {for}_{X\times Y}:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn}}\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})$
preserves K-injective complexes. Therefore,
$Rp_{Y*}\mathrm {for}_{X\times Y}:D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{0-\mathrm {cxn}})\to D(O_Y)$
is the right derived functor of
Since there is an isomorphism of functors
one obtains the first stated isomorphism of functors. Together with [Reference Liu25, Corollary 3.2.11], it shows that
${\mathfrak {F}}'$
preserves O-goodness. The other half about
${\mathfrak {F}}$
is similar.
3.2. Rothstein’s theorem
Theorem 3.3 (Rothstein)
Let X be a complex torus of dimension g. Let Y be the dual complex torus. Then there are isomorphisms of functors
In particular,
${\mathfrak {F}}\colon D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}})\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories, with a quasi-inverse
$T^g{\mathfrak {F}}'\colon D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}})$
.
We begin the proof of Theorem 3.3 with Lemma 3.4, which is a direct adaption of [Reference Rothstein37, Propositions 2.4, 2.5, and 3.1]. For a complex torus X, define a morphism of complex tori
${\epsilon _X:X\times X\to X,\ (x_1,x_2)\mapsto x_2-x_1}$
. Let
$\Delta _X\subset X\times X$
be the diagonal.
Lemma 3.4. Let X and Y be dual complex tori of dimension g.
-
(i) Let $p_{12}:X\times X\times Y\to X\times X$
be the projection to the first two factors. Then there is an isomorphism
$Rp_{12*}(\epsilon _X\times {\mathrm {Id}}_Y)^*{\mathcal {P}}\cong T^{-g}O_{\Delta _X}$
in
$D^b(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times X})_{(1,-1)-\mathrm {sp}})$
. -
(ii) Let $p_{23}:X\times Y\times Y\to Y\times Y$
be the projection to the last two factors. Then there is an isomorphism
$Rp_{23*}({\mathrm {Id}}_X\times \epsilon _Y)^*{\mathcal {P}}\cong T^{-g}O_{\Delta _Y}$
in
$D^b(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{Y\times Y})_{(\epsilon _Y,0)-\mathrm {cxn}})$
. -
(iii) There exist isomorphisms of functors
$$ \begin{align*}Rp_{1*}(O_{\Delta_X}\otimes^Lp_2^*-)&\cong {\mathrm{Id}}\colon D(\operatorname{\mathrm{Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm{sp}})\to D(\operatorname{\mathrm{Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm{sp}}),\\ Rp_{1*}(O_{\Delta_Y}\otimes^Lp_2^*-)&\cong{\mathrm{Id}} \colon D(\operatorname{\mathrm{Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm{cxn}})\to D(\operatorname{\mathrm{Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm{cxn}}).\end{align*} $$
Proof.
-
(i) The identification $Rp_{X*}{\mathcal {P}}\cong T^{-g}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}$
in
$D^b(O_X)$
from [Reference Kempf21, Theorem 3.15] can be lifted to an isomorphism in
$D^b(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{-1-\mathrm {sp}})$
. As stated in the last sentence of the proof of [Reference Viguier46, Proposition 2.1.21], a morphism of modules with splittings (or connections) is an isomorphism whenever the underlying morphism of O-modules is so. By [Reference Liu25, Theorem 1.3.2], applied to the Cartesian square the natural morphism $\epsilon _X^*Rp_{X*}{\mathcal {P}}\to Rp_{12*}(\epsilon _X\times 1_Y)^*{\mathcal {P}}$
in
$D^b(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times X})_{(1,-1)-\mathrm {sp}})$
is mapped to an isomorphism in
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_{X\times X})$
, so itself is an isomorphism.
-
(ii) The proof is similar to that of Part (i).
-
(iii) The proof is similar to that of [Reference Liu25, Lemma 5.1.1].
Proof of Theorem 3.3
We shall use the projection formula and the flat base change theorem for modules equipped with connections or splittings. The comparison morphisms are constructed from the adjunction between the derived inverse image and the derived direct image in Remark 2.12. Similar to Proposition 3.2, one can prove that these comparison morphisms are compatible with the comparison morphisms of the underlying O-modules. Thus, ignoring the connections and splittings, one needs to prove that the comparison morphisms of O-modules are isomorphisms. (This type of arguments can also be found in the proof of [Reference Viguier46, Proposition 2.1.21 and Theorem 2.1.33].)
Let
$p_i$
(
$i=1,2$
) be the projections of
$X\times X\to X$
. Let
$p_{ij}$
be the projections of
$X\times X\times Y$
. By the universal property of the Poincaré bundle, there is an isomorphism
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(X\times X\times Y)_{(1,-1)-\mathrm {cxn}}$
. Now we adapt the proof of [Reference Rothstein37, Theorem 3.2] to the analytic case and add more details. There are isomorphisms
of functors
$D_{O-{\mathrm {good}}}({\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}}(O_{X})_{\mathrm {sp}})\to D_{O-{\mathrm {good}}}({\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}}(O_{X})_{\mathrm {sp}})$
. Here, (a) uses the goodness of
${\mathcal {P}}\otimes p_X^*(-)$
over
$O_{X\times Y}$
and applies the flat base change theorem [Reference Liu25, Theorem 1.3.2] to the Cartesian square

The isomorphisms (b) and (d) rely on the projection formula [Reference Spaltenstein44, Proposition 6.18]. Finally, (c), (e), and (f) are from (22), Lemma 3.4(i), and Lemma 3.4(iii), respectively.
Thus, the second stated isomorphism is proved. Similarly, using Lemma 3.4(ii), one can prove the first stated isomorphism.
3.3. Matsushima’s theorem
For a complex torus Y and a point
$y\in Y$
, let
$T_y\colon Y\to Y, \quad z\mapsto y+z$
be the translation by y. A vector bundle E on Y is homogeneous if
$T_y^*E\cong E$
for every
$y\in Y$
. Matsushima [Reference Matsushima29, Theorem 1] shows that a holomorphic principal bundle on Y admits a holomorphic connection if and only if it is homogeneous. Matsushima’s proof of the “only if” part utilizes the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields. Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 3.2] uses the Fourier–Mukai transform to prove a parallel result in the algebraic setting. He shows that over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic
$0$
, a vector bundle on an abelian variety admitting a connection is homogeneous. Inspired by Rothstein’s method, for a vector bundle with a connection
$(E,\nabla )$
on Y, we use the Rothstein transform to prove a slightly stronger result that the pair
$(E,\nabla )$
is translation invariant. Conversely, we shall use the Laumon–Rothstein transform to show that every homogeneous vector bundle on Y admits an integrable connection in Theorem 5.7 below.
Proposition 3.5 (Matsushima)
Let E be a coherent sheaf on a complex torus Y with a holomorphic connection
$\nabla :E\to E\otimes _{O_Y}\Omega _Y^1$
. Then for every
$y\in Y$
,
$T_y^*(E,\nabla )$
is isomorphic to
$(E,\nabla )$
. In particular, E is a homogeneous vector bundle.
The proof of Proposition 3.5 relies on Lemma 3.6, which is a complex analytic analog of [Reference Rothstein36, Lemma 3.1]. Rothstein’s proof relies on the fact that every positive-dimensional projective variety contains a curve. By contrast, a positive-dimensional complex torus may not contain any one-dimensional analytic subset. For this reason, we have to replace Rothstein’s argument with [Reference Liu25, Lemma 6.3.5]. Let F be an
$O_M$
-module on a complex manifold M. For every
$x\in M$
, let
$T(F_x)$
be the set of
$s_x\in F_x$
such that there is a nonzero
$g_x\in O_{M,x}$
with
$g_xs_x=0$
. Then
$T(F):=\cup _{x\in M}T(F_x)$
is an
$O_M$
-submodule of F, called the torsion of F.
Lemma 3.6. Let F be a coherent sheaf admitting a
$1$
-splitting on a complex torus X. Then F is finitely supported.
Proof. Suppose to the contrary that
$\mathrm {Supp}(F)$
is infinite. By [Reference Grauert and Remmert7, p. 76],
$\mathrm {Supp}(F)$
is an analytic set in X. Then
$\dim \mathrm {Supp}(F)\ge 1$
. Let C be an irreducible component of
$\mathrm {Supp}(F)$
of maximal dimension. Write
$i:C\to X$
for the inclusion.
By [Reference Liu25, Lemma 6.3.5], there is a connected compact Kähler manifold Z and a morphism
$h:Z\to X$
such that
$h(Z)=C$
and
$F":=F'/T(F')$
is a vector bundle on Z of positive rank r, where
$F'=h^*F$
. As X is a complex torus, its Albanese is X itself. The morphism of Albanese tori
$\mathrm {alb}(h):\operatorname {\mathrm {Alb}}(Z)\to X$
contains a translate of C in its image. Since
$\dim C>0$
,
$\mathrm {alb}(h):\operatorname {\mathrm {Alb}}(Z)\to X$
is nonzero. Therefore, the dual morphism of complex tori
$h^*:\mathrm {Pic}^0(X)\to \mathrm {Pic}^0(Z)$
is also nonzero. However, we claim that its tangent map at origin
$h^*:\mathfrak {g}\to H^1(Z,O_Z)$
is zero.
Let
$\mathcal {E}'=h^*\mathcal {E}$
. By [45, Tag 05NJ], because
$O_X$
is flat over itself, pulling back (9) to Z and tensoring with
$F"$
, one has a short exact sequence of
$O_Z$
-modules
Since
$\mathcal {E}'$
is a vector bundle on Z, one has
Then a
$1$
-splitting
$\psi \colon F\to \mathcal {E}\otimes _{O_X} F$
induces a splitting
$\psi '\colon F"\to \mathcal {E}'\otimes _{O_Z} F"$
of (23).
Let
$\beta :O_Z\to \mathcal {E} nd(F")$
be the natural morphism. By Lemma 2.3, the composition
sends
$1\in \mathrm {End}(\mathfrak {g})$
to
$0$
. Therefore, the map
$H^1(Z,\beta )\circ h^*:\mathfrak {g}\to H^1(Z,\mathcal {E} nd(F"))$
is zero. The morphism
$\tau :\mathcal {E} nd(F")\to O_Z$
which takes trace satisfies
$\tau \beta =r\cdot {\mathrm {Id}}_{O_Z}$
. Then
$h^*=\frac {1}{r}\tau _*H^1(Z,\beta )h^*=0$
as maps
$\mathfrak {g}\to H^1(Z,O_Z)$
. The claim follows. This gives a contradiction.
Proof of Proposition 3.5
By Proposition 3.2,
$\mathrm {for}_X:D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})\to D(O_X)$
sends
${\mathfrak {F}}(E,\nabla )$
to an object isomorphic to
$\mathcal {F}(E)$
. From [Reference Liu25, Corollary 3.2.11],
$\mathcal {F}(E)$
lies in
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_X)$
. Then by Lemma 3.6, for every integer i, the support of
$H^i\mathcal {F}(E)$
is finite. As there exist only finitely many
$i\in \mathbb {Z}$
with
$H^i\mathcal {F}(E)\neq 0$
, there is an open subset
$U\subset X$
with
$P_y|_U\cong O_U$
which contains the supports of all
$H^i\mathcal {F}(E)$
. By Lemma 7.17 below, there is an isomorphism
${\mathfrak {F}}(T_y^*(E,\nabla ))\cong {\mathfrak {F}}(E,\nabla )\otimes _{O_X} P_y$
in
$D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}})$
. By the choice of U,
${\mathfrak {F}}(E,\nabla )\otimes _{O_X} P_y$
is isomorphic to
${\mathfrak {F}}(E,\nabla )$
. Then by Theorem 3.3,
$T_y^*(E,\nabla )$
is isomorphic to
$(E,\nabla )$
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)_{\mathrm {cxn}}$
.
4. Laumon–Rothstein sheaf of algebras
Let X, Y be complex tori dual to each other of dimension g. As a difference between the algebraic and the analytic case, when lifting the Fourier–Mukai transform from
$O_Y$
-modules to
$D_Y$
-modules, we have to replace
$O_{X^{\natural }}$
with an
$O_X$
-algebra
$\mathcal {A}_X$
to ensure that the lift remains an equivalence. In the algebraic case, Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36, p. 576] explains how
$O_{X^{\natural }}$
and
$\mathcal {A}_X$
give rise to equivalent derived categories, which fails in the analytic setup. Let
$\mathcal {E}$
be the tautological extension of
$O_X$
by
$\mathfrak {g}^*\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}O_X$
in (9).
4.1. Construction of the
$O_X$
-algebra
$\mathcal{A}_X$
We recall the sheaf
$\mathcal{A}_X$
from [Reference Rothstein36, p. 576]. In the notation of (9), fix a
$\mathbb {C}$
-basis
$\{\omega ^1,\dots ,\omega ^g\}$
of the
$\mathbb {C}$
-vector space
By Cartan’s Theorem B (see, e.g., [Reference Kaup and Kaup20, Section 52, Theorem B]), for each Stein open subset
$U\subset X$
, one has
$H^1(U,\mathfrak {g}^*\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}O_X)=0$
. Thence, (9) induces a short exact sequence
Whence, there is
$\rho \in \mathcal {E}(U)$
with
$\mu (\rho )=1\in O_X(U)$
. For two such pairs
$(U,\rho )$
and
$(\tilde {U},\tilde {\rho })$
with
$U\cap \tilde {U}\neq \emptyset $
, one has
$\mu (\tilde {\rho }-\rho )=0\in O_X(U\cap \tilde {U})$
, so
$\tilde {\rho }-\rho \in \mathfrak {g}^*\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}O_X(U\cap \tilde {U})$
. There exists a unique tuple
$f_1,\dots ,f_g\in O_X(U\cap \tilde {U})$
such that
in
$\mathcal {E}(U\cap \tilde {U})$
.
Definition 4.1. For each chosen pair
$(U,\rho )$
as above, introduce independent variables
$x_1^{\rho },\dots ,x^{\rho }_g$
and put
For another choice
$(\tilde {U},\tilde {\rho })$
with the tuple
$(f_1,\dots ,f_g)$
as above, we glue
$\mathcal {A}_X|_U$
and
$\mathcal {A}_X|_{\tilde {U}}$
by the rule
The resulting sheaf
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is a sheaf of commutative
$O_X$
-algebras of finite type. As an
$O_X$
-module,
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is good and locally free.
Let
be the universal vectorial extension of X constructed in [Reference Liu24, Proposition F.5.4.5 1.]. Then
$X^{\natural }$
is the moduli space of flat line bundles on Y. In coordinate-free terms,
$\mathcal {A}_X\subset \pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
is the
$O_X$
-subalgebra of sections whose restriction to each fiber of
$\pi :X^{\natural }\to X$
is a polynomial on
$\mathfrak {g}^*$
. For every integer
$m>0$
, let
$O_{X^{\natural }}(m)\subset O_{X^{\natural }}$
denote the subsheaf of sections whose restriction to the fibers of
$\pi $
are homogeneous polynomials of degree m. Similar to [Reference Björk6, Definition 1.6.1], there exists a sheaf of graded rings
$O_{[X^{\natural }]}:=\oplus _{m\ge 0}O_{X^{\natural }}(m)(\subset O_{X^{\natural }})$
on
$X^{\natural }$
. Then
$\mathcal {A}_X=\pi _*O_{[X^{\natural }]}$
and
$\Gamma (X,\mathcal {A}_X)=\mathbb {C}$
.
Remark 4.2. Different from the analytic case, if X is an abelian variety, then the notation
$\mathcal {A}_X$
in [Reference Rothstein36, p. 576] refers to the algebraic direct image
$\pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
. Morally, this difference also lies between algebraic and analytic D-modules. For a complex manifold or a smooth algebraic variety V, let
$p:T^*V\to V$
be the natural projection of the cotangent bundle. Denote by
$GD_V$
the associated graded ring of the degree filtration on
$D_V$
. From [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, p. 57], in the algebraic case,
$GD_V$
is
$p_*O_{T^{\ast }V}$
. By contrast, in the analytic case,
$GD_V$
is the
$O_V$
-submodule of
$p_*O_{T^*V}$
of sections whose restriction to each fiber of
$p:T^*V\to V$
is a polynomial.
Remark 4.3. The sheaf of rings
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is functorial in X in the following sense. Let
$\phi :X^{\prime }\to X$
be a morphism of complex tori. Let
$\hat {\phi }:Y\to Y'$
be its dual morphism of complex tori. By [Reference Liu24, Proposition F.5.4.7], it induces a morphism
$\phi ^{\natural }:X^{\prime \natural }\to X^{\natural }$
of complex Lie groups fitting into a commutative diagram

For each local section
$h\in O_{[X^{\natural }]}$
, the local section
$(\phi ^{\natural })^*h\in O_{X^{\prime \natural }}$
restricts to a polynomial on each fiber of the universal vectorial extension
$\pi '\colon X^{\prime \natural } \to X^{\prime }$
. Indeed, this restriction is the
$\hat {\phi }^*$
-pullback of the restriction of h to a fiber of
${\pi \colon X^{\natural }\to X}$
. Therefore, the natural morphism
$O_{X^{\natural }}\to \phi ^{\natural }_*O_{X^{\prime \natural }}$
restricts to a morphism
$O_{[X^{\natural }]} \to \phi ^{\natural }_*O_{[X^{\prime \natural }]}$
. The resulting morphism of ringed spaces
$(X^{\prime \natural },O_{[X^{\prime \natural }]})\to (X^{\natural },O_{[X^{\natural }]})$
descends to another morphism of ringed spaces
which is compatible with the morphism
$\phi :(X^{\prime },O_{X^{\prime }})\to (X,O_X)$
of ringed spaces. In particular, there is an isomorphism of functors
$\mathrm {for}_XR\tilde {\phi }_*\to R\phi _*\mathrm {for}_{X^{\prime }}\colon D(\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime }}) \to D(O_X)$
. If M is an
$O_X$
-module, then
4.2. Properties of
$\mathcal {A}_X$
Notice that
$\mathcal {A}_X$
has a natural increasing degree filtration
$\{\mathcal {A}_X(m)\}_{m\ge 0}$
, where
is the
$O_X$
-submodule of
$\mathcal {A}_X$
of polynomials of degree at most m. Then
$\mathcal {A}_X(0)=O_X$
,
$\mathcal {A}_X(1)=\mathcal {E}^{\vee }$
, and every
$\mathcal {A}_X(m)$
is a locally free
$O_X$
-module of finite rank. Moreover, for any integers
$m,n\ge 0$
, one has
Thus,
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is a sheaf of positively filtered rings (in the sense of [Reference Björk6, pp. 459, 464]) on the complex torus X.
We review some terminology from [Reference Björk6, App. A:III]. A coherent sheaf of rings on a locally compact Hausdorff space is called Noetherian if every increasing sequence of ideal sheaves is stationary over relatively compact subsets [Reference Björk6, 2.24, p. 470]. Let R be a commutative filtered ring. If the subring
$\oplus _{v\in \mathbb {Z}}R_vT^v$
of
$R[T,T^{-1}]$
is a Noetherian ring, then R is called a Noetherian filtered ring.
Definition 4.4 [Reference Björk6, App. A:III, 1.7, Definitions 1.11 and 1.19]
A filtration on an R-module M is a family of additive subgroups
$\{M_v\}_{v\in \mathbb {Z}}$
such that
This filtration is called separated if
$\cap _{v\in \mathbb {Z}}M_v=0$
, and called good if
$\oplus _{v\in \mathbb {Z}}M_vT^v$
is a finitely generated
$\oplus _{v\in \mathbb {Z}}R_vT^v$
-module.
A Zariskian filtered ring is a Noetherian filtered ring such that all the good filtrations on every finitely generated module are separated. A filtered sheaf of rings is called stalkwise Zariskian if every stalk is a Zariskian filtered ring [Reference Björk6, Definition 2.6, p. 465].
Lemma 4.5. For a complex torus X, the sheaf of rings
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is coherent and Noetherian. The sheaf of filtered rings
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is stalkwise Zariskian.
Proof. By (24), the graded ring associated with the degree filtration of
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is
Here for each chosen pair
$(U,\rho )$
as in Section 4.1,
$x_i|_U\in \Gamma (U,\mathcal {A}_X(1)/\mathcal {A}_X(0))\subset \Gamma (U,G\mathcal {A}_X)$
is the image of
$x_i^{\rho }\in \Gamma (U,\mathcal {A}_X(1))$
. From [Reference Björk5, Theorem 1.26, p. 460],
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is stalkwise Zariskian. The other part follows from [Reference Björk5, Proposition 1.27, p. 460, Theorem 2.7, p. 465]. (See also the proof of [Reference Björk6, Theorem 1.2.5].)
In view of the difference mentioned in Remark 4.2, the statement of [Reference Rothstein36, Proposition 4.4] is slightly modified as Fact 4.6. For every
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module F and every chosen pair
$(U,\rho )$
as in Section 4.1, define
$\psi _U^{\rho }:F(U)\to \mathcal {E}(U)\otimes _{O_X(U)}F(U)$
by
Then
$(\mu \otimes {\mathrm {Id}}_F)(\psi _U^{\rho }(s))=s$
. In light of (24), the family
$\{\psi _U^{\rho }\}_{(U,\rho )}$
glues to a
$1$
-splitting
$\psi _F:F\to \mathcal {E}\otimes _{O_X}F$
. One has
$\psi _F=\psi _{\mathcal {A}_X}\otimes _{\mathcal {A}_X}{\mathrm {Id}}_F$
. By commutativity of
$\mathcal {A}_X$
and [Reference Rothstein36, Equation (4.9)], one has
$[\psi _F,\psi _F]=0$
.
Fact 4.6. The resulting functor
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
induces an equivalence of abelian categories from
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
to the full subcategory of
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)_{\mathrm {sp}}$
of objects
$(F,\psi )$
with
$[\psi ,\psi ]=0$
.
From Fact 4.6 and the proof of [Reference Rothstein36, Proposition 4.1], the functor (13) restricts to an exact functor
$p_X^*:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{1-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
. Similarly, by [Reference Rothstein36, Proposition 4.2], the functor (15) restricts to a left exact functor
5. Laumon–Rothstein transform
For dual complex tori X and Y, we lift the Fourier–Mukai transform on
$O_Y$
-modules to a functor on
$D_Y$
-modules, which is an analytic analog of the transform introduced by Laumon [Reference Laumon23] and Rothstein [Reference Rothstein36]. As an application, we reprove Morimoto’s theorem that every homogeneous vector bundle on Y admits an integrable connection.
5.1. Properties of Laumon–Rothstein transform
Definition 5.1. Define functors
where
$Rp_{Y*}:D(D_{X\times Y/X})\to D(D_Y)$
(resp.
$Rp_{X*}:D(\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})_{1-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}})\to D(\mathcal {A}_X)$
) is the right derived functor of (21) (resp. (28)), and
$p_Y^*:D(D_Y)\to D(D_{X\times Y/X})$
is induced by the exact functor (20). The pair
$(\tilde {\mathcal {F}},\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural })$
is called the Laumon–Rothstein transform for
$(X,Y)$
.
Example 5.2. Let L be a line bundle on Y equipped with an integrable connection
$\nabla $
. Let
$z\in X^{\natural }$
be the corresponding point. The
$\pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
-module
$\pi _*\mathbb {C}_{(z)}$
is naturally an
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module. Its underlying
$O_X$
-module is
$\mathbb {C}_{\pi (z)}$
. One has
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }(\pi _*\mathbb {C}_{(z)})=(L,\nabla )$
.
Proposition 5.3. For dual complex tori X and Y, let
be the forgetful functors. Then there exist isomorphisms of functors
In particular, the Laumon–Rothstein transform restricts to functors
Proof. The proof is similar to that of Proposition 3.2, as
$\mathcal {A}_X$
(resp.
$D_Y$
) is flat over
$O_X$
(resp.
$O_Y$
).
Theorem 5.4 (Laumon and Rothstein)
There are isomorphisms of functors
In particular,
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}\colon D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories, with a quasi-inverse
$T^g\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }\colon D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
.
Proposition 5.5. There are isomorphisms of functors
Proof. The result follows from Proposition 5.3, Theorem 5.4, and Fact 1.1(i) as in the proof of [Reference Rothstein36, Theorem 6.1] (cf. [Reference Laumon23, Proposition 3.1.2 and Corollary 3.2.4]).
For
$x\in X$
(resp.
$y\in Y$
), let
$P_x={\mathcal {P}}|_{x\times Y}$
(resp.
$P_y={\mathcal {P}}|_{X\times y}$
) be the pullback line bundle on Y (resp. X). For a complex manifold Z and a point
$z\in Z$
, let
$i_z:z\to Z$
be the inclusion. Then
$i_{z+}\mathbb {C}$
is a
$D_Z$
-module.
Corollary 5.6. For any
$x\in X$
and
$y\in Y$
, one has
Proof. By [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Example 1.6.4], one has
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y} \mathbb {C}_{(y)}=i_{y+}\mathbb {C}$
. The result follows from Theorem 5.4, Proposition 5.5, Fact 1.3, and [Reference Liu25, Lemma 2.0.9].
5.2. Application of the Laumon–Rothstein theorem
Theorem 5.7, due to Matsushima [Reference Matsushima29, Theorem 1] and Morimoto [Reference Morimoto32, Theorem 2], is a converse to Proposition 3.5. For abelian varieties, Nakayashiki [Reference Nakayashiki34, Proposition 5.9] gives a proof using the Fourier–Mukai transform and the existence of ample line bundles.
Theorem 5.7. A homogeneous vector bundle on a complex torus admits an integrable connection.
The proof of Theorem 5.7 needs Lemma 5.8, a converse to Lemma 3.6.
Lemma 5.8. Let F be an
$O_X$
-module with finite support on a complex torus X. Then F admits a structure of
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module.
Proof. As
$\pi \colon X^{\natural }\to X$
is a submersion and
$\mathrm {Supp}(F)$
is finite, there exists an open neighborhood
$U\subset X$
of
$\mathrm {Supp}(F)$
and a morphism of complex manifolds
$s:U\to X^{\natural }$
that is a local section to
$\pi :X^{\natural }\to X$
. Let
$\iota :U\hookrightarrow X$
be the inclusion. Applying
$\pi _*$
to the morphism of sheaves of rings
$O_{X^{\natural }}\to s_*O_U$
, one gets a morphism
$\pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}\to \iota _*O_U$
. As
$\mathcal {A}_X$
is an
$O_X$
-subalgebra of
$\pi _*O_{X^{\natural }}$
, this endows
$ \iota _*O_U$
with an
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module structure.Footnote
1
Since
${\mathrm {Id}}_F\otimes \iota ^{\#}:F\to F\otimes _{O_X}\iota _*O_U$
is an isomorphism of
$O_X$
-modules, F also obtains an
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module structure.
Proof of Theorem 5.7
Let E be a homogeneous vector bundle on Y. Set
$\hat {E}:=H^g\mathcal {F}(E)\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)$
. According to [Reference Liu25, Proposition 6.3.3] and Fact 1.1, one has
$E=H^0\mathcal {F}'(\hat {E})$
and
$\mathrm {Supp}(\hat {E})$
is a finite subset of X. By Lemma 5.8,
$\hat {E}$
has an
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module structure. By Proposition 5.3, the
$O_Y$
-module underlying
$H^0\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }(\hat {E})\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_Y)$
is isomorphic to E, so E carries an integrable connection.
We recover a slight generalization of Morimoto’s theorem [Reference Morimoto32, Theorem 2, p. 91].
Corollary 5.9 (Morimoto)
Let Y be a complex torus. Let E be a coherent sheaf on Y admitting a connection. Then E is a vector bundle admitting an integrable connection.
6. Good modules
In the algebraic case, Laumon and Rothstein independently prove that the Fourier–Mukai transform lifts to an equivalence of the bounded derived category of coherent D-modules. For dual complex tori X and Y, however, it is unclear whether the Laumon–Rothstein transform
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}$
restricts to a functor
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(D_Y)\to D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. Nevertheless, we can show that
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}$
restricts to an equivalence for smaller categories of good
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-modules and of good
$D_Y$
-modules. Every holonomic
$D_Y$
-module is good, so the bounded derived category
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
of good
$D_Y$
-modules is sufficiently large for our application.
6.1. Good
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-modules and good
$D_Y$
-modules
We define good
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-modules. We also review several definitions of good D-modules in the literature and show that they are equivalent.
Definition 6.1. Let
$\mathcal {R}$
be a positively filtered sheaf of rings on a complex manifold Z such that the associated graded ring
$G\mathcal {R}$
is coherent. Let M be a coherent left
$\mathcal {R}$
-module. A filtration on M is an increasing sequence of subsheaves
$\{M_v\}_{v\in \mathbb {Z}}$
satisfying
$\cup _{v\in \mathbb {Z}}M_v=M$
and
$\mathcal {R}_kM_v\subset M_{k+v}$
for all integers
$k\ge 0$
and v. This filtration is called
-
• B-good ([Reference Björk6, Remark 2.16, p. 467]) if for every $x\in Z$
, there exists an open neighborhood U, a finite set
$\{m_1,\dots ,m_s\}\subset \Gamma (U,M),$
and integers
$k_1,\dots ,k_s$
such that
$M_v|_U=\sum _{i=1}^s\mathcal {R}_{v-k_i}m_i$
for all integers v. -
• locally good ([Reference Mebkhout30, Proposition 2.1.12(i)]) if every $M_v$
is coherent over
$O_Z$
, and if for every
$x\in Z$
, there is an open neighborhood U of x and an integer
$k_0\ge 0$
such that
$\mathcal {R}_mM_{k_0}=M_{m+k_0}$
on U for all integers
$m\ge 0$
.
Similar to [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Proposition 2.1.1], using (27), one can show that a filtration
$M_{\bullet }$
on a coherent
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module M is B-good exactly when it is locally good. In that case, we call
$M_{\bullet }$
a good filtration on M. From [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Theorem 2.1.3(i)], on a complex smooth algebraic variety V, a coherent algebraic
$D_V$
-module admits a globally defined good filtration. By contrast, on the complex manifold
$\mathbb {C}^*\times \mathbb {CP}^1$
, Malgrange [Reference Malgrange28, p. 405] constructs a coherent analytic D-module that does not admit any global good filtration.
Definition 6.2. On a complex manifold Z, an
$O_Z$
-module F is called
-
• countably quasi-good ([Reference Kashiwara and Schapira18, p. 942]) if every compact subset of Z has an open neighborhood U such that $F|_U$
is the union of an increasing sequence of coherent
$O_U$
-submodules. -
• quasi-good ([Reference Kashiwara and Schapira19, p. 12]) if for every relatively compact open subset $U\subset Z$
, the restriction
$F|_U$
is a sum of coherent
$O_U$
-submodules.
A
$D_Z$
-module M is called
-
• good coherent if for every relatively compact open subset U of Z, there is a finite filtration $\{M_k\}_{k\in \mathbb {Z}}$
of
$M|_U$
such that each quotient
$M_k/M_{k-1}$
is a coherent
$D_U$
-module admitting a good filtration ([Reference Saito39, p. 369], [Reference Schapira and Schneiders40, p. 10], and [Reference Kashiwara and Schapira17, p. 43]). -
• S-quasi-good ([Reference Kashiwara and Schapira17, p. 43]) if for every relatively compact open subset $U\subset Z$
, the restriction
$M|_U$
admits a filtration
$\{M_v\}_{v\in \mathbb {Z}}$
by coherent
$D_U$
-submodules such that each quotient
$M_v/M_{v-1}$
admits a good filtration and
$M_v=0$
for
$v\ll 0$
.
Proposition 6.3. Let M be a coherent
$D_Z$
-module on a complex manifold Z. Then the following conditions are equivalent:
-
(i) For every relatively compact open subset U of Z, there is a coherent $O_U$
-submodule
$F\subset M|_U$
with
$D_U\cdot F= M|_U$
. -
(ii) For every relatively compact open subset U of Z, the $D_U$
-module
$M|_U$
admits a good filtration. -
(iii) The $D_Z$
-module M is good coherent. -
(iv) The $D_Z$
-module M is S-quasi-good. -
(v) The $O_Z$
-module M is countably quasi-good. -
(vi) The $O_Z$
-module M is good. -
(vii) The $O_Z$
-module M is quasi-good.
Proof. The implications (ii)
$\Rightarrow $
(iii), (v)
$\Rightarrow $
(vi), and (vi)
$\Rightarrow $
(vii) are direct. See [Reference Björk6, Sec. 1.4.10] for (i)
$\Rightarrow $
(ii).
-
(iii)⃒(iv) For every relatively compact open subset U of Z, consider the filtration $\{M_k\}$
in the definition. By induction on k, one proves that each
$M_k$
is
$D_U$
-coherent. -
(iv)⃒(v) By [Reference Björk6, Corollary 1.4.6], as every quotient $M_v/M_{v-1}$
admits a good filtration, it is countably quasi-good. By induction on v and using [Reference Kashiwara and Schapira18, Lemma 2.1.1], one proves that every
$M_v$
is countably quasi-good. Therefore, for every integer v, there is an increasing sequence
$\{M_v^k\}_{k\ge 1}$
of coherent
$O_U$
-submodules of
$M_v$
with
$M_v=\cup _{k\ge 1}M_v^k$
. For every integer
$k\ge 1$
, let
$M^k:=\sum _{\substack{i\le k,\\ v\le k}}M_v^i$
. By [45, Tag 01BY],
$M^k$
is a coherent
$O_U$
-submodule of
$M_k$
. Then $$\begin{align*}M=\cup_{v\in\mathbb{Z}}M_v=\cup_{v\in \mathbb{Z}}\cup_{i\ge 1}M_v^i=\cup_{k\ge 1}M^k,\end{align*}$$so M is countably quasi-good.
-
(vii)⃒(i) Let U be a relatively compact open subset of Z. Because M is a finite-type $D_Z$
-module, for every
$x\in \bar {U}$
, there is a relatively compact open neighborhood
$U(x)\subset Z$
of x, an integer
$n(x)\ge 1,$
and sections $$\begin{align*}\{s^x_i\}_{1\le i\le n(x)}\subset \Gamma(U(x),M)\end{align*}$$generating the $D_{U(x)}$
-module
$M|_{U(x)}$
. By compactness of
$\bar {U}$
, the open cover
$\{U(x)\}_{x\in \bar {U}}$
of
$\bar {U}$
has a finite subcover
$\{U(x_j)\}_{1\le j\le r}$
. Then
$V=\cup _{j=1}^rU(x_j)$
is a relatively compact open subset of Z containing U. By Condition (vii), one may write
$M|_V=\sum _{\alpha \in I}G_{\alpha }$
, where I is an index set, and each
$G_{\alpha }$
is a coherent
$O_V$
-submodule of
$M|_V$
.
For every $x\in \bar {U}$
, there is an open neighborhood
$V(x)\subset U(x)$
of x, such that for each
$1\le i\le n(x)$
,
$s^x_i|_{V(x)}$
is in
$\Gamma (V(x),G_{\alpha (x,i)})$
for some index
$\alpha (x,i)\in I$
. By compactness of
$\bar {U}$
again, the open cover
$\{V(x)\}_{x\in \bar {U}}$
has a finite subcover
$\{V(x^{\prime }_k)\}_{1\le k\le m}$
. Then $$\begin{align*}F:=\sum_{\substack{1\le k\le m,\\1\le i\le n(x^{\prime}_k)}}G_{\alpha(x^{\prime}_k,i)}\end{align*}$$is a finite-type $O_V$
-submodule of
$M|_V$
. By Lemma 6.8 below, it is coherent over
$O_V$
. Moreover, one has
$D_U\cdot F|_U=M|_U$
.
Proposition 6.4. Let M be a coherent
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module on a complex torus X. Then M is good over
$O_X$
if and only if there is a coherent
$O_X$
-submodule
$F\subset M$
with
$\mathcal {A}_X\cdot F= M$
.
Proof. The proof is similar to that of Proposition 6.3.
Let the sheaf of rings
$\mathcal {R}$
be either
$D_Z$
on a complex manifold Z or
$\mathcal {A}_X$
on the fixed complex torus X. A coherent
$\mathcal {R}$
-module is good if the underlying O-module is good. For example, by Lemma 4.5 and [Reference Björk6, Theorem 1.2.5], the left
$\mathcal {R}$
-module
$\mathcal {R}$
is good. It is unclear whether every coherent analytic D-module on a compact complex manifold is good. Let
$\mathrm {Good}(\mathcal {R})\subset \mathrm {Coh}(\mathcal {R})$
(resp.
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})\subset D^b_{O-\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})$
) be the full subcategory of good
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules (resp. objects whose cohomologies are good
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules). By Proposition 6.3, the category
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
is what Björk denotes by
$D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(D_Z)_f$
in [Reference Björk6, p. 119].
On a complex manifold Z, a coherent
$D_Z$
-module is holonomic if its characteristic variety is of (minimal) dimension
$\dim Z$
. Malgrange ([Reference Malgrange26, p. 35], [Reference Malgrange27, p. 367], see also [Reference Sabbah38, Theorem 4.3.4(2)]) proves that every holonomic
$D_Z$
-module M is generated by a coherent
$O_Z$
-submodule, so M is a good
$D_Z$
-module. Let
$D^b_h(D_Z)\subset D^b(D_Z)$
be the full subcategory of objects with holonomic cohomologies. The good
$D_Y$
-module
$D_Y$
is not holonomic whenever
$g>0$
.
6.2. Basic properties of good modules
Let
$\mathcal {R}$
be either
$D_Z$
on a complex manifold Z or
$\mathcal {A}_X$
on the fixed complex torus X.
Lemma 6.5. The functor
$\mathcal {R}\otimes _{O_Z}(-):\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Z)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {R})$
is exact. It restricts to a functor
$\mathcal {R}\otimes _{O_Z}(-):\mathrm {Coh}(O_Z)\to \mathrm {Good}(\mathcal {R})$
and induces a t-exact functor
$\mathcal {R}\otimes ^L_{O_Z}(-):D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_Z)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})$
.
Proof. It follows from [Reference Liu25, Proposition 3.1.5(2)], [Reference Björk6, Theorem 1.2.5], and Lemma 4.5.
Lemma 6.6. The category
$\mathrm {Good}(\mathcal {R})$
is a weak Serre subcategory of
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {R})$
. In particular,
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {R})$
is a triangulated subcategory of
$D^b(\mathcal {R})$
.
Proof. The first half is a combination of [Reference Kashiwara15, Proposition 4.23], [45, Tag 01BY], and [45, Tag 0754]. The second half follows from [Reference Yekutieli49, Proposition 7.4.5].
For a morphism of complex manifolds
$f:M\to N$
, let
$f_+:D(D_M)\to D(D_N)$
denote the direct image functor of D-modules [Reference Björk6, Sec. 2.3.12].
Lemma 6.7. Let
$f:W\to Z$
be a proper morphism of complex manifolds. Then
$f_+:D(D_W)\to D(D_Z)$
restricts to a functor
$D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_W)\to D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
.
Proof. Take
$M\in D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_W)$
. By [Reference Sabbah38, Remark 3.3.4(4)],
$f_+:D(D_W)\to D(D_Z)$
has finite cohomological dimension. So by [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.3(iii)], to prove
$f_+M\in D_{O-\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
, one may assume
$M\in \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_W)$
. Define a morphism
$i:W\to W\times Z,\quad w\mapsto (w,f(w))$
, which is a closed embedding. Let
$q:W\times Z\to Z$
be the projection. By [Reference Sabbah38, Theorem 3.3.6(1)], one has
$f_+=q_+i_+$
. By [Reference Björk6, Proposition 2.4.8], one has
$f_+M=Rq_*\operatorname {\mathrm {DR}}_{W\times Z/Z}(i_+M)[\dim Z]$
. By [Reference Liu25, Theorem 3.2.1], as each term of the relative de Rham complex
$\operatorname {\mathrm {DR}}_{W\times Z/Z}(i_+M)$
is
$O_{W\times Z}$
-good and supported on W, one has
$Rq_*\operatorname {\mathrm {DR}}_{W\times Z/Z}(i_+M)\in D_{\mathrm {good}}(O_Z)$
.
On a complex manifold Z, an
$O_Z$
-module F is pseudo-coherent if for every open subset U of X, every finite-type
$O_U$
-submodule of
$F|_U$
is of finite presentation [Reference Kashiwara15, Definition A.5].
Lemma 6.8. If M is a coherent
$\mathcal {R}$
-module, then M is pseudo-coherent over
$O_Z$
.
Proof. By [Reference Mebkhout30, Proposition 2.1.9] and its analog for
$\mathcal {A}_X$
, for every point
$x\in Z$
, there exists an open neighborhood U of x in Z and a good filtration on
$M|_U$
. By [Reference Björk6, Corollary 1.4.6],
$M|_U$
is the sum of an increasing sequence of coherent
$O_U$
-submodules. Hence,
$M|_U$
is good over
$O_U$
. By [Reference Liu25, Lemma A.4.1(1)], the
$O_U$
-module
$M|_U$
is pseudo-coherent. As pseudo-coherence is a local property, M is pseudo-coherent over
$O_Z$
.
Lemma 6.9. Let M be a good
$\mathcal {R}$
-module. Let N be a finite-type
$\mathcal {R}$
-submodule of M. Then N is good over
$\mathcal {R}$
.
Proof. By [45, Tag 01BY (1)], N is coherent over
$\mathcal {R}$
. For every relatively compact open subset U of X and every
$x\in \bar {U}$
, there is an open neighborhood
$U(x)\subset X$
of x, an integer
$n(x)>0,$
and sections
$\{s_i(x)\}_{i=1}^{n(x)}\subset \Gamma (U(x),N)$
generating the
$\mathcal {R}|_{U(x)}$
-module
$N|_{U(x)}$
. The open cover
$\{U(x)\}_{x\in \bar {U}}$
of
$\bar {U}$
has a finite subcover
$\{U(x_j)\}_{j=1}^m$
. Let
$N_0$
be the
$O_U$
-submodule of
$N|_U$
generated by the finitely many local sections
Then
$N_0$
is a finite-type
$O_U$
-module. By Lemma 6.8, because
$M|_U$
is good over
$\mathcal {R}|_U$
, the
$O_U$
-module
$N_0$
is coherent. By construction, one has
$\mathcal {R}|_U\cdot N_0=N|_U$
. Therefore, the
$\mathcal {R}$
-module N is good by Propositions 6.3 (in the case
$\mathcal {R}=D_Z$
) and 6.4 (in the case
$\mathcal {R}=\mathcal {A}_X$
).
6.3. Laumon–Rothstein transform preserves goodness
Theorem 6.10. For dual complex tori X and Y of dimension g,
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }:D(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D(D_Y)$
restricts to an equivalence
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
, with a quasi-inverse
$T^g\tilde {\mathcal {F}}:D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
.
Proof.
-
(i) For every coherent $O_Y$
-module F, we prove
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes ^L_{O_Y} F)\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
.
By Proposition 5.5, one has
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes ^L_{O_Y} F)\cong\mathcal {A}_X\otimes ^L_{O_X}\mathcal {F}(F)$
. By Fact 1.3, one has
$\mathcal {F}(F)\in D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_X)$
. From Lemma 6.5, one gets
$\mathcal {A}_X\otimes ^L_{O_X}\mathcal {F}(F)\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
.
-
(ii) We prove that for every good $D_Y$
-module M and every integer i, the
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M)$
is good.
We use the descending induction on
$i\in \mathbb {Z}$
. By Proposition 5.3, the
$O_X$
-module underlying
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M)$
is isomorphic to
$H^i\mathcal {F}(M)$
. By Lemma 6.11, if
$i>2g$
, then
$H^i\mathcal {F}(M)=0$
and hence
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M)=0$
.
Assume the statement for
$i+1$
. By Proposition 6.3, there is a coherent
$O_Y$
-submodule
$F\subset M$
with
$D_Y\cdot F=M$
. Let
$M'$
be the kernel of the natural epimorphism
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F\to M$
, so that
is a short exact sequence in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_Y)$
. By Lemma 6.5, the
$D_Y$
-module
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F$
is good. By Lemma 6.6, so is
$M'$
. From (29), one has an exact sequence
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. By (i), the
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module
$H^j\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F)$
is good for
$j\in \{i,i+1\}$
. By the inductive hypothesis, so is
$H^{i+1}\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M')$
.
Let
$G:=\ker \left ( H^{i+1}\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M')\to H^{i+1}\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F)\right ) $
. By Lemma 6.6, the
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module G is good (hence of finite type). The sequence (30) yields an exact sequence
so
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M)$
is a finite-type
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module for every good
$D_Y$
-module M. In particular, as
$M'$
is good over
$D_Y$
,
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M')$
is a finite-type
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module.
Let
$N:=\mathrm {im}\left (H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M')\to H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F)\right )$
. It is a finite-type
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-submodule of the good
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}F)$
. By Lemma 6.9, the
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module N is good. The sequence (30) yields an exact sequence
By Lemma 6.6, the
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}(M)$
is good. The induction is completed.
From (ii), Lemma 6.6, and [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.3(i)],
$\mathcal {F}\colon D(D_Y)\to D(\mathcal {A}_X)$
restricts to a functor
$ D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. Similarly, using Proposition 6.4, one can prove that
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }$
restricts to a functor
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
. By Theorem 5.4, the restrictions are equivalences.
The proof of Theorem 6.10 needs a cohomological dimension estimation for the Fourier–Mukai transform.
Lemma 6.11. Let X and Y be dual complex tori of dimension g. Then for every
$O_X$
-module F, one has
$\mathcal {F}'(F)\in D^{[0,2g]}(O_Y)$
. Similarly, for an
$O_Y$
-module G, one has
$\mathcal {F}(G)\in D^{[0,2g]}(O_X)$
.
Proof. By left exactness of the functor
$p_{Y*}:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X\times Y})\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_Y)$
, one has
$H^i\mathcal {F}'(F)=0$
for every integer
$i<0$
. For every
$y\in Y$
, let M be the restriction of
${\mathcal {P}}\otimes _{O_{X\times Y}} p_X^*F$
to
$X\times y$
as a sheaf. By the proper base change theorem (see, e.g., [Reference Milne31, Theorem 17.2]), for every integer j, one has
$H^j\mathcal {F}'(F)_y=H^j(X\times y,M)$
. By [Reference Kashiwara and Schapira16, Proposition 3.2.2(iv)], if
$j>2g$
, then
$H^j(X\times y,M)=0$
. Therefore,
$H^j\mathcal {F}'(F)=0$
. The other part is similar.
We outline another application of the Laumon–Rothstein transform. For a complex torus X of dimension g, let
$\Pi (X):=\mathrm {Hom}(\pi _1(X),\mathbb {C}^*)$
be the group of characters of
$\pi _1(X)$
. It is naturally a linear algebraic group over
$\mathbb {C}$
isomorphic to
$\mathbb {G}_m^{2g}$
. For every
$\chi \in \Pi (A)$
, let
$L_{\chi }$
be the corresponding local system on X. One can recover a special case of the generic vanishing theorem [Reference Bhatt, Schnell and Scholze4, Theorem 1.1] for complex tori. For complex abelian varieties, the result is due to Krämer and Weissauer [Reference Krämer and Weissauer22, Theorem 1.1] and Schnell [Reference Schnell41, Proposition 18.2] independently.
Theorem 6.12. Let X be a complex torus. Let
$K\in D_c^b(X,\mathbb {C}_X)$
be a perverse sheaf on X. Then there is a dense Zariski open subset
$U\subset \Pi (X)$
, such that for every
$\chi \in U$
and every
$i\neq 0$
, one has
$H^i(X,K\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}L_{\chi })=0$
.
Proof. Using Theorem 6.10 and Malgrange’s theorem [Reference Malgrange26, p. 35], one can prove the result by following Schnell’s strategy of [Reference Schnell41, Proposition 18.2] in the algebraic case.
7. Relations with other functors
The properties [Reference Mukai33, Equations (3.1), (3.4), and (3.8)] of the Fourier–Mukai transform have analogs for the Laumon–Rothstein transform.
7.1. Duality
Let Z be a complex manifold. Denote by
$\Delta ^{O_Z}$
the duality functor
$R{\mathcal {H}om}_{O_Z}(- ,\omega _Z^{-1})[\dim Z]:D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_Z)$
. The duality functor on
$D_Z$
-modules
$\Delta ^{D_Z}:D(D_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D(D_Z)$
is defined by
$\Delta ^{D_Z}F=G[\dim Z]$
, where G is the complex of left
$D_Z$
-modules associated with the complex
$R{\mathcal {H}om}_{D_Z}(F,D_Z)$
of right
$D_Z$
-modules. By [Reference Björk6, Definition 2.11.1],
$\Delta ^{D_Z}$
restricts to a functor
$D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_Z)$
, and the natural transformation
${\mathrm {Id}}\to \Delta ^{D_Z}\circ \Delta ^{D_Z}\colon D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_Z)\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(D_Z)$
is an isomorphism of functors.
Lemma 7.1. For a complex manifold Z,
$\Delta ^{D_Z}:D(D_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D(D_Z)$
restricts to a functor
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
.
Proof. Let F be a coherent
$O_Z$
-module and
$N:=D_Z\otimes _{O_Z}F$
. By [Reference Björk6, Equation (ii), p. 122], there is
$G\in D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_Z)$
with
$\Delta ^{D_Z}N=D_Z\otimes _{O_Z}G$
. By Lemma 6.5,
$\Delta ^{D_Z}N\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
.
Take
$M\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
. By [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.3(i)], to prove
$\Delta ^{D_Z}M\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
, one may assume
$M\in \mathrm {Good}(D_Z)$
. By Proposition 6.3 and the exactness of Spencer’s complex [Reference Björk6, Theorem 1.5.8], for every relatively compact open subset
$U\subset Z$
, there is a finite length exact sequence in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_U)$
:
where each
$F^i$
is a coherent
$O_U$
-module. For every i, one has
$\Delta ^{D_U}(D_U\otimes _{O_U}F^i)\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_U)$
. By Lemma 6.6, one has
$(\Delta ^{D_Z}M)|_U=\Delta ^{D_U}(M|_U)\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_U)$
. Hence,
$\Delta ^{D_Z}M$
lies in
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Z)$
.
Lemma 7.2. Let Z be a complex manifold.
-
(i) The functor $\Delta ^{D_Z}:D^b_h(D_Z)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D^b_h(D_Z)$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories. -
(ii) Let M be a coherent $D_Z$
-module. Then M is holonomic if and only if
$H^i(\Delta ^{D_Z}M)=0$
for all integers
$i\neq 0$
.
Proof. For algebraic varieties, analogous results are stated as [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Corollary 2.6.8(iii) and Proposition 3.2.1]. From [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, p. 101], all the arguments in [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Section 2.6] are valid for analytic D-modules.
For a complex torus Y,
$\omega _Y$
is isomorphic to
$O_Y$
. Therefore, by [Reference Björk6, Equation (ii), p. 122], there is an isomorphism of functors
Define the duality functor
$\Delta ^{\mathcal {A}_X}:D^b(\mathcal {A}_X)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D^b(\mathcal {A}_X)$
as
It restricts to a functor
$D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(\mathcal {A}_X)^{\mathrm{op}}\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. Similar to Lemma 7.1, it restricts to a functor
$D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)^{\mathrm{op}}\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
.
Proposition 7.3. There are isomorphisms of functors
Lemma 7.4. On a complex manifold Z, for any objects
$K,L\in D(O_Z)$
and
$M\in D^-_{\mathrm {coh}}(O_Z)$
, the natural morphism (provided by [45, Tag 0BYS])
is an isomorphism in
$D(O_Z)$
.
Proof. By [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.1(ii)], one may assume
$M\in \mathrm {Coh}(O_Z)$
. By [45, Tag 08DL] and [Reference Griffiths and Harris8, p. 696], one may shrink Z such that M admits a globally free resolution
$F^{\bullet }\to M$
, where the complex
$F^{\bullet }$
is
with
$O_Z^{k_i}$
placed in degree
$-i$
. The morphism (31) is identified with
which is an isomorphism.
Lemma 7.5. There is an isomorphism of functors
Proof. By [Reference Rothstein36, Equation (6.2)], there exist isomorphisms
of functors
$ D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(O_X)^{\mathrm {op}}\to D_{\mathrm {coh}}^b(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. By Lemma 7.4, this functor is isomorphic to
$T^gR{\mathcal {H}om}_{O_X}(-,O_X)\otimes _{O_X}^L\mathcal {A}_X\cong \mathcal {A}_X\otimes ^L_{O_X}(\Delta ^{O_X}-)$
.
Proof of Proposition 7.3
The result can be deduced from Lemma 7.5, Proposition 5.5, and [Reference Liu25, Proposition 6.1.5], in the same way that [Reference Rothstein36, Proposition 6.3] is proved.
Theorem 7.6 (Rothstein)
Let X be a complex torus of dimension g. Let
$F\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
be an object such that
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }(F)$
is concentrated in a single degree
$i\in \mathbb {Z}$
. Then
$H^i\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }(F)$
is holonomic if and only if
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }\Delta ^{\mathcal {A}_X}F$
is concentrated in degree
$g-i$
.
Proof. The result follows from Proposition 7.3 and Lemma 7.2(ii), in the same way how Theorem 6.5 follows from Propositions 6.3 and 6.4 in [Reference Rothstein36].
Example 7.7. Let
$F=T^g\mathcal {A}_X\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
. By Corollary 5.6, one has
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }(F)=D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}$
. One has
$\Delta ^{\mathcal {A}_X}F=\mathcal {A}_X$
, and
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}^{\natural }\Delta ^{\mathcal {A}_X}F$
is concentrated in degree g. Then by Theorem 7.6, the
$D_Y$
-module
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}$
is holonomic.
7.2. Pullback and pushforward
Proposition 7.8. Let
$f:X^{\prime }\to X$
be a morphism of complex tori, with
$\dim X^{\prime }=g'$
. Let
$\hat {f}:Y\to Y'$
be the morphism dual to
$f:X^{\prime }\to X$
. Let
$\tilde {f}:(X^{\prime },\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime }})\to (X,\mathcal {A}_X)$
be the induced morphism of ringed spaces (25). Then there are isomorphisms of functors
Proof. One can prove the first isomorphism using [Reference Liu25, Proposition 3.1.2(2), Theorem 4.2.7, and Equation (19)]. The third isomorphism can be proved using [Reference Björk6, Theorems 2.8.1, 2.8.7, and 2.11.8], (26), and Theorem 6.10. By Theorem 5.4 (resp. Theorem 6.10), the second (resp. last) isomorphism follows from the first (resp. third).
7.3. External tensor product
For two complex manifolds
$U,V$
, let
be the exact external tensor product bifunctor defined in [Reference Björk6, Sec. 2.4.4]. By exactness, it induces a triangulated bifunctor
Remark 7.9. By [Reference Björk6, Sec. 2.4.13], the bifunctor (32) restricts to bifunctors
Then by [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.3(i)], the bifunctor (33) restricts to bifunctors
By [Reference Björk6, p. 139], it also restricts to a bifunctor
$D^b_h(D_U)\times D^b_h(D_V)\to D^b_h(D_{U\times V})$
.
Lemma 7.10.
-
(i) Let $U,V,Z$
be complex manifolds. Let
$f:U\to V$
be a proper morphism. Then the natural transformation $$\begin{align*}(f_+-)\boxtimes_O(+)\to (f\times{\mathrm{Id}}_Z)_+(-\boxtimes_O+):D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_U)\times D(D_Z)\to D(D_{V\times Z})\end{align*}$$is an isomorphism.
-
(ii) Let $f_i:U_i\to V_i$
(
$i=1,2$
) be two proper morphisms of complex manifolds. Then the natural transformation $$ \begin{align*} (f_{1+}-)&\boxtimes_O(f_{2+}+)\to (f_1\times f_2)_+(-\boxtimes_O+)\colon\\ D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_{U_1})&\times D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_{U_2})\to D_{O-\mathrm{good}}(D_{V_1\times V_2}) \end{align*} $$is an isomorphism.
Proof. Using [Reference Liu25, Lemma 6.1.3], Lemma 6.7, and [Reference Sabbah38, Theorem 3.3.6(1)], one can argue as in [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Proposition 1.5.30] to prove the result.
For a complex torus X, let
$\mathrm {for}_{X}:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_{X})\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X})$
be the forgetful functor. Let
$X^{\prime }$
be another complex torus. Set
$X^{\prime \prime }=X\times X^{\prime }$
. Write
$u:X^{\prime \prime }\to X$
and
$u':X^{\prime \prime }\to X^{\prime }$
for the projections. Let
$Y'$
and
$Y"$
be the dual of
$X^{\prime }$
and
$X^{\prime \prime }$
, respectively. For an
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-module F and an
$\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime }}$
-module G, denote
$\tilde {u}^*F\otimes _{\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime \prime }}}\tilde {u}^{\prime *}G$
by
$F\boxtimes _{\mathcal {A}}G$
. By construction, one has
Since the
$u^{-1}O_X\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}u^{\prime -1}O_{X^{\prime }}$
-module
$O_{X\times X^{\prime }}$
is flat, so is the
$u^{-1}\mathcal {A}_X\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}u^{\prime -1}\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime }}$
-module
$\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime \prime }}$
. As
the bifunctor
is exact in both arguments. Consider the diagonal morphism
$\delta :X\to X^2$
. There is a canonical isomorphism of bifunctors
Although the tensor product of two
$\mathcal {A}_X$
-modules is different from the tensor product of the underlying
$O_X$
-module, Lemma 7.11 shows that external products do agree. It is used in the proof of Lemma 7.12.
Lemma 7.11. For a product of complex tori
$X^{\prime \prime }=X\times X^{\prime }$
, there is an isomorphism of bifunctors
Proof. There are isomorphisms of functors
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X^{\prime \prime }})$
:
where (a) uses (34). Similarly, there is an isomorphism of functors
$\mathrm {for}_{X^{\prime \prime }}\tilde {u}^{\prime *}\cong u^*\mathcal {A}_X\otimes _{O_{X^{\prime \prime }}}u^{\prime *}\mathrm {for}_{X^{\prime }}(-) :\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(\mathcal {A}_{X^{\prime }})\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_{X^{\prime \prime }})$
. One has isomorphisms of bifunctors
Lemma 7.12. Let
$(\tilde {\mathcal {F}\hspace{1.5pt}}',\tilde {\mathcal {F}\hspace{1.5pt}}^{\natural \prime })$
and
$(\tilde {\mathcal {F}\hspace{1.5pt}}",\tilde {\mathcal {F}\hspace{1.5pt}}^{\natural \prime \prime })$
be the Laumon–Rothstein transforms for
$(X^{\prime },Y')$
and
$(X^{\prime \prime },Y"),$
respectively. Then there are isomorphisms of bifunctors
Proof. It follows from [Reference Liu25, Proposition 6.1.2], Lemma 7.11, and Proposition 5.3.
7.4. Convolution and tensor product
For the dual complex tori X and Y, let
$m:X^2\to X$
and
$\mu :Y^2\to Y$
be their respective group law. Let
$\tilde {m}:(X^2,\mathcal {A}_{X^2})\to (X,\mathcal {A}_X)$
be the morphism of ringed spaces induced by
$m:X^2\to X$
via Remark 4.3.
Definition 7.13 (Convolution, [Reference Laumon23, p. 22])
Define bifunctors
By [Reference Björk6, Theorems 2.8.1, 2.8.7, and 3.2.13(3)], [Reference Sabbah38, Theorem 4.4.1], and Lemma 6.7, as
$\mu :Y^2\to Y$
is proper,
$\mu _+\colon D(D_{Y^2})\to D(D_Y)$
restricts to functors
Together with Remark 7.9, this implies that the bifunctor
$*_D$
restricts to bifunctors
As an example of the convolution of D-modules, for every
$y\in Y$
, there is an isomorphism of functors
$(i_{y+}\mathbb {C})*_D(-)\to T_{-y}^*\colon D(D_Y)\to D(D_Y)$

Lemma 7.14. The pair
$(D(D_Y),*_D)$
is a symmetric tensor triangulated category (in the sense of [Reference Balmer2, Definition 3]) with unit
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}$
.
Proof. Let
$i:\{0\}\hookrightarrow Y$
be the inclusion of the origin. Then
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}=i_+\mathbb {C}$
. There are isomorphisms
of functors
$D(D_Y)\to D(D_Y)$
, where (a) and (b) use Lemma 7.10(i) and [Reference Sabbah38, Theorem 3.3.6(1)], respectively. Therefore,
$D_Y\otimes _{O_Y}\mathbb {C}_{(0)}$
is the unit. The other axioms can be verified as in [Reference Weissauer47, pp. 10–11].
Proposition 7.15. For dual complex tori X and Y,
$\tilde {\mathcal {F}}:(D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y),*_D)\to (D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X),\otimes ^L_{\mathcal {A}_X})$
is a strong monoidal functor (in the sense of [Reference Schwede and Shipley42, Definition 3.3]). In fact, there are canonical isomorphisms of bifunctors
Theorem 7.16 is a complex analytic analog of Weissauer’s result [Reference Weissauer48] for perverse sheaves on abelian varieties.
Theorem 7.16. For a complex torus Y, both
$(D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y),*_D)$
and
$(D_h^b(D_Y),*_D)$
are rigid symmetric monoidal triangulated categories. In fact, for every
$M\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
, the functor
$(-)*_DM:D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
admits a right adjoint
$([-1]_Y^*\Delta ^{D_Y}M)*_D(-)$
.
Proof. By [45, Tag 08DJ], for every object
$N\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
, the functor
$(-)\otimes ^L_{\mathcal {A}_X}N:D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)\to D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(\mathcal {A}_X)$
admits a right adjoint
$R{\mathcal {H}om}_{\mathcal {A}_X}(N,-)$
. By [Reference Huybrechts14, p. 84], the right adjoint is naturally isomorphic to
$T^{-g}\Delta ^{\mathcal {A}_X}(N)\otimes ^L_{\mathcal {A}_X}(-)$
. The result follows from Propositions 7.3 and 7.15.
7.5. Translation and multiplication
For dual complex tori X and Y, let
$p_X\colon X\times Y\to X$
be the projection. Denote by
$p_X^*:\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(O_X)\to \operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_{X\times Y/X})$
the pullback functor of relative D-modules. For every
$y\in Y$
, there is an isomorphism
$T_{(0,y)}^*{\mathcal {P}}\cong {\mathcal {P}}\otimes _{O_{X\times Y}}p_X^*P_y$
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(X\times Y)_{-1-\mathrm {cxn},\mathrm {int}}$
. By [Reference Rothstein37, Equation (2.10)], there is an equivalence of abelian categories
Lemma 7.17. There are isomorphisms of functors
Similar results hold for the Rothstein transform.
Proof. Arguing as in [Reference Mukai33, Equation (3.1)], one can deduce the isomorphisms from the projection formula.
Proposition 7.18. For a line bundle equipped with an integrable connection
$(L,\nabla )$
on Y, let
$z\in X^{\natural }$
be the corresponding point. Then there are isomorphisms of functors
A. Another proof of rigidity of convolution
We give another proof of Theorem 7.16, which does not use the Laumon–Rothstein transform. This proof is inspired by Weissauer’s strategy for perverse sheaves on abelian varieties [Reference Weissauer48], but it is not a strict translation of Weissauer’s proof via the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence, so that we can handle good D-modules that are not holonomic.
Second proof of Theorem 7.16
Define an automorphism of complex torus
$f:Y^2\to Y^2,\quad (a,b)\mapsto (a+b,-a)$
. Then
$p_1f=\mu $
,
$p_2f=[-1]_Yp_1$
and
$\mu f=p_2$
. One has
$Lf^*O_{Y^2}=O_{Y^2}$
in
$D^b(D_{Y^2})$
.
For any objects
$F,G\in D^b_{\mathrm {good}}(D_Y)$
, there are canonical bijections
Here, (a), (c), (d), (f), and (g) use [Reference Björk6, Theorem 2.11.8], Proposition A.1, [Reference Kashiwara15, Theorem 4.12], [Reference Kashiwara15, Theorem 4.40], and Lemma 7.1 in order. Both (b) and (e) use [Reference Kashiwara15, Equation (3.13)]. As the bijections are functorial in F and G, the adjunction follows.
The above proof of Theorem 7.16 needs the commutativity of duality with external tensor product for D-modules.
Proposition A.1. Let
$Z_i$
(
$i=1,2$
) be two complex manifolds. Then there is an isomorphism of functors
Proof. For a complex manifold Z, the sheaf
$D_Z\otimes _{\mathbb {C}_Z}D_Z^{\mathrm {op}}$
is naturally a
$\mathbb {C}_Z$
-algebra, and
$D_Z$
is naturally a left
$D_Z\otimes _{\mathbb {C}_Z}D_Z^{\mathrm {op}}$
-module. By [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, p. 39], for
$N_i\in D(D_{Z_i^{\mathrm {op}}})$
, there is a natural isomorphism in
$D(D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}})$
:
First, we construct the stated natural transformation. Take
$M_i\in D^b_{\mathrm {coh}}(D_{Z_i})$
.
Claim A.2. Then there is a natural morphism in
$D^b((D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2})^{\mathrm {op}})$
:
Claim A.3. There is a natural morphism in
$D^b(D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}})$
:
Again, there is a natural morphism in
$D^b(D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}})$
:
which can be defined by taking a
$D_{Z_1\times Z_2}\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}}$
-injective resolution of
$D_{Z_1\times Z_2}$
.
Composing the morphisms (A.1)–(A.4) in order, one gets a natural morphism in
$D^b(D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}})$
:
By [Reference Hartshorne11, Ch. I, Proposition 7.1(i)], to show that (A.5) is an isomorphism, one may assume
$M_i\in \mathrm {Coh}(D_{Z_i})$
for both
$i=1,2$
. By shrinking
$Z_i$
and using [Reference Kashiwara and Schapira16, Proposition 11.2.6], one may find a bounded resolution of
$M_i$
by free
$D_{Z_i}$
-modules of finite rank. Thus, one may further assume that
$M_i=D_{Z_i}$
. By [Reference Hotta and Tanisaki13, Example 2.6.3], since
$\omega _{Z_1\times Z_2}=\omega _{Z_1}\boxtimes _O\omega _{Z_2}$
in
$\operatorname {\mathrm {Mod}}(D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}})$
, in this case, (A.5) is an isomorphism.
Proof of Claim A.2
For
$i=1,2$
, take a
$D_{Z_i}\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_i}^{\mathrm {op}}$
-injective resolution
$D_{Z_i}\to I_i^{\bullet }$
. Then
$I^{\bullet }_1\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}I_2^{\bullet }$
is a complex of modules over
By [45, Tag 013K (2)], there exists an injective resolution
$I^{\bullet }_1\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}I_2^{\bullet }\to I^{\bullet }$
(hence an induced injective resolution
$D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2}\to I^{\bullet }$
) over (A.6). The natural morphism
$D_{Z_i}\to D_{Z_i}\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_i}^{\mathrm {op}}$
is flat, so every injective
$D_{Z_i}\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_i}^{\mathrm {op}}$
-module is injective over
$D_{Z_i}$
. Similarly, every term of the complex
$I^{\bullet }$
is injective over
$D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2}$
. Then (A.2) is defined to be the composition of the natural morphisms
One can show that it is independent of the choices of injective resolutions.
Proof of Claim A.3
Take an injective resolution
$D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2}\to J^{\bullet }$
over (A.6). By [45, Tag 013K (2)], over
$(D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2})\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_1\times Z_2}^{\mathrm {op}}$
there exists an injective resolution
$J^{\bullet }\otimes _{D_{Z_1}\boxtimes _{\mathbb {C}}D_{Z_2}}D_{Z_1\times Z_2}\to K^{\bullet }$
. Then (A.3) is defined to be the composition of the natural morphisms
One can show that it is independent of the choices of injective resolutions.
