Lifting A∞-structures through coverings with applications to fractional Brauer graph algebras
Abstract
Under suitable group actions, it is known that A∞-structures descend to orbit categories. We study the converse problem of lifting an A∞-structure to a prescribed covering. We show that a compatible group grading determines a canonical lift, uniquely characterized by the strictness of the covering projection. As an application, we construct A∞-categories associated with admissible fractional Brauer graph algebras by lifting Brauer graph A∞-categories. Their geometric data augment the surface models of Brauer graph algebras with a Nakayama character encoding the covering. We prove that admissible fractional Brauer graph algebras with equivalent geometric data are derived equivalent. Furthermore, we establish a set of combinatorial derived invariants and prove their completeness in reduced genus zero and in reduced genus at least two when the defining ribbon graph is non-bipartite.
