Abstract

Given a split simply connected and connected algebraic group scheme G\mathbb G over Z\mathbb Z and a split parabolic subgroup scheme PG\mathbb P\subset \mathbb G, this paper constructs semi-orthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category Db(rep(P))D^b(\mathrm {rep}( \mathbb P)) of noetherian representations of P\mathbb P with each semi-orthogonal component being equivalent to the bounded derived category Db(rep(G))D^b(\mathrm {rep}( \mathbb G)) of noetherian representations of G\mathbb G. The semi-orthogonal components of those decompositions are stable under the monoidal action of Db(rep(G))D^b(\mathrm {rep}( \mathbb G)) on Db(rep(P))D^b(\mathrm {rep}( \mathbb P)). The decompositions depend on an arbitrarily chosen total order on the Weyl group that refines the Bruhat order. The semi-orthogonal decompositions are also compatible with the Bruhat order on cosets of the Weyl group of P\mathbb P in the Weyl group of G\mathbb G. Their construction builds upon the foundational results on B\mathbb B-modules from the works of Mathieu, Polo, and van der Kallen, and upon properties of the Steinberg basis of the T \mathbb T-equivariant KK-theory of G/B \mathbb G/\mathbb B. As a corollary, we obtain full exceptional collections in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on generalized flag schemes G/P\mathbb G/\mathbb P over Z\mathbb Z.
