Abstract

Bondal claims that for a smooth toric variety XX, its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves Dcb(X)D_{c}^{b}(X) is generated by the Thomsen collection T(X)T(X) of line bundles obtained as direct summands of the pushforward of OX\mathcal{O}_{X} along a Frobenius map with sufficiently divisible degree. The claim is confirmed recently. In this article, we consider a generalized Thomsen collection of line bundles T(X,D)T(X,D) with a Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor DD as an auxiliary input, which recovers Thomsen's oringinal collection by setting D=0D=0. We introduce the notion of a generating system and prove a theorem on the generation of OX\mathcal{O}_{X} using many line bundles arising from the generating system. As an application, we verify Bondal's claim for some toric varieties, using a different argument from existing works.
