Degree-shifted derived invariance of derived delooping levels
Abstract
Gélinas introduced the delooping level of an Artin algebra as a homological invariant that bounds the big finitistic dimension of the opposite algebra. A natural question is whether such invariants are preserved under derived equivalences. Chen recently showed that the finiteness of the classical delooping level and its sub-derived variant is not derived-invariant, but the case of the finer derived delooping level of Guo and Igusa remained open. In this paper, we prove that the finiteness of the derived delooping level is \emph{degree-shift invariant} under derived equivalences: if two algebras are derived equivalent via a tilting complex of width kT, then finiteness of the (k+kT)-derived delooping level on one side implies finiteness of the k-derived delooping level on the other. Consequently, the finiteness of the derived ∞-delooping level is invariant under derived equivalences. Furthermore, we introduce the global derived delooping level and prove that, under a derived equivalence, its ∞-version changes by at most kT. In particular, its finiteness is a derived invariant.

AB - Gélinas introduced the delooping level of an Artin algebra as a homological invariant that bounds the big finitistic dimension of the opposite algebra. A natural question is whether such invariants are preserved under derived equivalences.

In this paper, we prove that the finiteness of the derived delooping level is \emph{degree-shift invariant} under derived equivalences: if two algebras are derived equivalent via a tilting complex of width k_T, then finiteness of the (k+k_T)-derived delooping level on one side implies finiteness of the k-derived delooping level on the other. Consequently, the finiteness of the derived ∞-delooping level is invariant under derived equivalences. Furthermore, we introduce the global derived delooping level and prove that, under a derived equivalence, its ∞-version changes by at most k_T. In particular, its finiteness is a derived invariant.
