Exceptional sequences of line bundles on projective bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2025-07-24 v2

Abstract

For a vector bundle EP\mathcal E \to \mathbb P^\ell we investigate exceptional sequences of line bundles on the total space of the projectivisation X=P(E)X = \mathbb P(\mathcal E). In particular, we consider the case of the cotangent bundle of P\mathbb P^\ell. If =2\ell = 2, we completely classify the (strong) exceptional sequences and show that any maximal exceptional sequence is full. For general \ell, we prove that the Rouquier dimension of D(X)\mathcal D(X) equals dimX\dim X, thereby confirming a conjecture of Orlov.
