Rationality and nonnegativity conjecture for Serre dimensions

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let AA be a smooth and compact dg algebra over a field k\mathsf k. Consider the lower and upper Serre dimensions of Perf⁡(A)\operatorname{Perf}(A).

Rationality and nonnegativity conjecture. The two Serre dimensions are rational numbers, and the upper Serre dimension is nonnegative:

Sdim‾⁡Perf⁡(A),Sdim‾⁡Perf⁡(A)∈Q,\operatorname{\underline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A),\qquad \operatorname{\overline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A)\in\mathbb{Q},

with

Sdim‾⁡Perf⁡(A)⩾0.\operatorname{\overline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A)\geqslant 0.

The paper gives examples showing that the lower Serre dimension can be negative and notes that irrationality is unknown, so this conjecture remains open.
