Abstract

Silting and Calabi-Yau reductions are important process in representation theory to construct new triangulated categories from given one, which are similar to Verdier quotient. In this paper, first we introduce a new reduction process of triangulated category, which is analogous to the silting (Calabi-Yau) reduction. For a triangulated category T\cal T with a pre-simple-minded collection (=pre-SMC) R\cal R, we construct a new triangulated category U\cal U such that the SMCs in U\cal U bijectively correspond to those in T\cal T containing R\cal R. Secondly, we give an analogue of Buchweitz's theorem for the singularity category Tsg\cal T_{\rm sg} of a SMC quadruple (T,Tp,S,S)(\cal T,\cal T^{\rm p},\mathbb S, \cal S): the category Tsg\cal T_{\rm sg} can be realized as the stable category of an extriangulated subcategory F\cal F of T\cal T. Finally, we show the SMS (simple-minded system) reduction due to Coelho Sim\~oes and Pauksztello is the shadow of our SMC reduction. This is parallel to the result that Calabi-Yau reduction is the shadow of silting reduction due to Iyama and Yang.
