Abstract

We give two proofs to the following theorem and its generalization: if a finite dimensional algebra AA is derived equivalent to a smooth projective scheme, then any derived equivalence between AA and another algebra BB is standard, that is, isomorphic to the derived tensor functor by a two-sided tilting complex. The main ingredients of the proofs are as follows: (1) between the derived categories of two module categories, liftable functors coincide with standard functors; (2) any derived equivalence between a module category and an abelian category is uniquely factorized as the composition of a pseudo-identity and a liftable derived equivalence; (3) the derived category of coherent sheaves on a certain projective scheme is triangle-objective, that is, any triangle autoequivalence on it, which preserves the the isomorphism classes of complexes, is necessarily isomorphic to the identity functor.
