Given a certain kind of linear representation of a reductive group, referred to as a quasi-symmetric representation in recent work of \v{S}penko and Van den Bergh, we construct equivalences between the derived categories of coherent sheaves…
We study the equivariant category associated to a finite group action on the derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth projective variety. We discuss decompositions of the equivariant category and faithful actions, prove the…
We study the relationship between derived categories of factorizations on gauged Landau-Ginzburg models related by variations of the linearization in Geometric Invariant Theory. Under assumptions on the variation, we show the derived…
In this expository note, we discuss some results of the author on the structure of derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves and the derived categories of geometric invariant theory quotients. We take a recent perspective,…
We prove that the adjoint equivariant derived category of a reductive group $G$ is equivalent to the appropriately defined monoidal center of the torus-equivariant version of the Hecke category. We use this to give new proofs, independent…
Given an algebraic torus action on a normal projective variety with finitely generated total coordinate ring, we study the GIT-equivalence for not necessarily ample linearized divisors, and we provide a combinatorial description of the…
We investigate conditions for a Fourier-Mukai transform between derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective stacks endowed with actions by finite groups to lift to the associated equivariant derived categories. As an…
We study autoequivalences of the derived category of coherent sheaves of a variety arising from a variation of GIT quotient. We show that these automorphisms are spherical twists, and describe how they result from mutations of…
Fix a scheme $X$ over a field of characteristic zero that is equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a $G$-equivariant coherent sheaf on $X$ or a bounded-above complex of…
Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) produces quotients of algebraic varieties by reductive groups. If the variety is projective, this quotient depends on a choice of polarisation; by work of Dolgachev-Hu and Thaddeus, it is known that two…
We study the derived category of a complete intersection X of bilinear divisors in the orbifold Sym^2 P(V). Our results are in the spirit of Kuznetsov's theory of homological projective duality, and we describe a homological projective…
Let X be an algebraic variety with an action of an algebraic group G. Suppose X has a full exceptional collection of sheaves, and these sheaves are invariant under the action of the group. We construct a semiorthogonal decomposition of…
The theory of $\Theta$-stratifications generalizes a classical stratification of the moduli of vector bundles on a smooth curve, the Harder-Narasimhan-Shatz stratification, to any moduli problem that can be represented by an algebraic…
The aim of this paper is to show that classical geometric invariant theory (GIT) has an effective analogue for linear actions of a non-reductive algebraic group $H$ with graded unipotent radical on a projective scheme $X$. Here the linear…
In this paper we construct a tilting sheaf for Severi-Brauer Varieties and Involution Varieties. This sheaf relates the derived category of each variety to the derived category of modules over a ring whose semisimple component consists of…
We discuss derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties. We focus on the case of non-singular Calabi-Yau varieties and consider two unsolved problems: proving that birational varieties have equivalent derived categories,…
We establish some properties of the derived category of torus-equivariant coherent sheaves on a split toric stack bundle. Our main result is a semi-orthogonal decomposition of such a category.
In this thesis we study two main topics which culminate in a proof that four distinct definitions of the equivariant derived category of a smooth algebraic group $G$ acting on a variety $X$ are in fact equivalent. In the first part of this…
Let $X$ be a smooth scheme with an action of an algebraic group $G$. We establish an equivalence of two categories related to the corresponding moment map $\mu : T^*X \to Lie(G)^*$ - the derived category of G-equivariant coherent sheaves on…
When the action of a reductive group on a projective variety has a suitable linearisation, Mumford's geometric invariant theory (GIT) can be used to construct and study an associated quotient variety. In this article we describe how…
