We investigate equivariant birational geometry of rational surfaces and threefolds from the perspective of derived categories.
We study equivariant birationality from the perspective of derived categories. We produce examples of nonlinearizable but stably linearizable actions of finite groups on smooth cubic fourfolds.
This paper is based on a talk at a conference "JDG 2017: Conference on Geometry and Topology". We survey recent progress on the DK hypothesis connecting the birational geometry and the derived categories stating that the K-equivalence of…
We discuss the structure of the derived category of coherent sheaves on cubic fourfolds of three types: Pfaffian cubics, cubics containing a plane and singular cubics, and discuss its relation to the rationality of these cubics.
We consider the structure of the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 and describe a strange relation between derived categories of different threefolds. In the Appendix we discuss how the ring of…
We discuss the question of finding conditions on a derived equivalence between two smooth projective varieties $X$ and $Y$ that imply that $X$ and $Y$ are birational. The types of conditions we consider are in the spirit of finding…
We define, basing upon semiorthogonal decompositions of $\Db(X)$, categorical representability of a projective variety $X$ and describe its relation with classical representabilities of the Chow ring. For complex threefolds satisfying both…
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,…
In this paper we prove Homological Projective Duality for crepant categorical resolutions of several classes of linear determinantal varieties. By this we mean varieties that are cut out by the minors of a given rank of a n x m matrix of…
We construct $S$-linear semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of smooth Fano threefold fibrations $X/S$ with relative Picard rank $1$ and rational geometric fibers and discuss how the structure of components of these…
Originally a technical tool, the derived category of coherent sheaves over an algebraic variety has become over the last twenty years an important invariant in the birational study of algebraic varieties. Problems of birational invariance…

A different proof to a known criterion of derived equivalence implying birationality is given. Derived equivalent smooth projective curves over an algebraically closed field are proved to be isomorphic. A different proof of derived…
We show that a standard conic bundle over a minimal rational surface is rational and its Jacobian splits as the direct sum of Jacobians of curves if and only if its derived category admits a semiorthogonal decomposition by exceptional…
We show that the derived categories of symmetric products of a curve are embedded into the derived categories of the moduli spaces of vector bundles of large ranks on the curve. It supports a prediction of the existence of a semiorthogonal…
We describe an infinite set of smooth projective threefolds that have equivalent derived categories but are not isomorphic, contrary to a conjecture of Kawamata. These arise as blow-ups of $\mathbb P^3$ at various configurations of 8…
We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…
We relate invariants in derived categories associated to tame actions of finite groups on projective varieties over a finite field to zeros of L-functions
