Abstract

In this work, we provide a way of constructing new semiorthogonal decompositions using metric techniques (\`a la Neeman). Given a semiorthogonal decomposition on a category with a special kind of metric, which we call a compressible metric, we can construct new semiorthogonal decomposition on a category constructed from the given one using the aforementioned metric. In the algebro-geometric setting, this gives us a way of producing new semiorthogonal decompositions on various small triangulated categories associated to a scheme, if we are given one. In the general setting, the work is related to that of Sun-Zhang, while its applications to algebraic geometry are related to the work of Bondarko and Kuznetsov-Shinder.
