Milnor descent for cohesive dg-categories

Oren Ben-Bassat, Jonathan Block

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that the functor from curved differential graded algebras to differential graded categories, defined by the second author, sends Cartesian diagrams to homotopy Cartesian diagrams, under certain reasonable hypotheses. This is an extension to the arena of dg-categories of a construction of projective modules due to Milnor. As an example, we show that the functor satisfies descent for certain partitions of a complex manifold.
