Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} and B\mathcal{B} be subcategories of tensor categories C\mathcal{C} and D\mathcal{D}, respectively, both of which are abelian categories with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We prove that if their derived categories Db(A)\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{A}) and Db(B)\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{B}) are left triangulated tensor ideals and are equivalent as triangulated Db(C)\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{C})-module categories via an equivalence induced by a monoidal triangulated functor F:Db(C)Db(D)F:\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{C})\rightarrow \mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{D}), then the original module categories A\mathcal{A} and B\mathcal{B} are themselves equivalent. We then apply this result to smash product algebras. Furthermore, the localization theory of module categories and triangulated module categories is investigated.
