Categorical resolution of singularities

Algebraic Geometry 2009-12-03 v3

Abstract

Building on the concept of a smooth DG algebra we define the notion of a smooth derived category. We the propose the definition of a categorical resolution of singularities. Our main example is the derived category D(X)D(X) of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme XX. We prove that D(X)D(X) has a canonical categorical resolution if the base field is perfect and XX is a separated scheme of finite type with a dualizing complex.
