Metric completions of triangulated categories from hereditary rings (2508.20283v1)

Abstract: The focus of this article is on metric completions of triangulated categories arising in the representation theory of hereditary finite dimensional algebras and commutative rings. We explicitly describe all completions of bounded derived categories with respect to additive good metrics for two classes of rings - hereditary commutative noetherian rings and hereditary algebras of tame representation type over an algebraically closed field. To that end, we develop and study the lattice theory of metrics on triangulated categories. Moreover, we establish a link between metric completions of bounded derived categories of a ring and the ring's universal localisations.
