Stratified noncommutative geometry
Abstract: We introduce a theory of stratifications of noncommutative stacks (i.e. presentable stable $\infty$-categories), and we prove a reconstruction theorem that expresses them in terms of their strata and gluing data. This reconstruction theorem is compatible with symmetric monoidal structures, and with more general operadic structures such as $E_n$-monoidal structures. We also provide a suite of fundamental operations for constructing new stratifications from old ones: restriction, pullback, quotient, pushforward, and refinement. Moreover, we establish a dual form of reconstruction; this is closely related to Verdier duality and reflection functors, and gives a categorification of M\"obius inversion. Our main application is to equivariant stable homotopy theory: for any compact Lie group $G$, we give a symmetric monoidal stratification of genuine $G$-spectra. In the case that $G$ is finite, this expresses genuine $G$-spectra in terms of their geometric fixedpoints (as homotopy-equivariant spectra) and gluing data therebetween (which are given by proper Tate constructions). We also prove an adelic reconstruction theorem; this applies not just to ordinary schemes but in the more general context of tensor-triangular geometry, where we obtain a symmetric monoidal stratification over the Balmer spectrum. We discuss the particular example of chromatic homotopy theory.
