The ring of differential operators on a monomial curve is a Hopf algebroid

Ulrich Krähmer·21 August 2024

The ring of differential operators on a cuspidal curve whose coordinate ring is a numerical semigroup algebra is shown to be a cocommutative and cocomplete left Hopf algebroid, which essentially means that the category of D\mathcal{D}-modules is closed monoidal. If the semigroup is symmetric so that the curve is Gorenstein, it is a full Hopf algebroid (admits an antipode), which means that the subcategory of D\mathcal{D}-modules that are finite rank vector bundles over the curve is rigid. Based on joint work with Myriam Mahaman.
