Abstract
For a particular smooth projective (weak Fano) threefold we show that the braid group action on the set of full exceptional collections in is not transitive. This provides a counterexample to a conjecture of Bondal and Polishchuk from 1993. The conjecture was first disproved by Chang, Haiden, and Schroll, who constructed a family of partially wrapped Fukaya categories for which the transitivity fails. However, no counterexample of the form for a smooth projective variety was previously known.
