We provide an explicit construction of Hopf categories associated to comonoidal functors, generalizing \v{S}evera's construction of Hopf monoids through M-adapted functors. We discuss the example of the Hopf category whose underlying class…

We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves with proper support is equivalent to the category of locally-finite, cohomological functors on the perfect derived category of a quasi-projective scheme over a field. We…

If Y,Z are three-dimensional smooth varieties related by a flop, then Bondal and Orlov conjectured that the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Y and Z are equivalent. This conjecture was recently proved by Bridgeland. Our aim in this…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small, $k$-linear, Hom-finite, locally bounded category, and let $\mathcal{B}$ be a $k$-linear abelian category. We construct a Frobenius exact subcategory…

Let $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ be an extriangulated category with a proper class $\xi$ of $\mathbb{E}$-triangles. In this paper, we study Gorenstein derived functors for extriangulated categories. More precisely, we first…

This paper constructs derived autoequivalences of Gorenstein orders as twists around spherical functors. More precisely, given a Gorenstein order $A$ and a quotient $p \colon A \to B$, then we specify natural conditions on $B$ under which…

From certain triangle functors, called non-negative functors, between the bounded derived categories of abelian categories with enough projective objects, we introduce their stable functors which are certain additive functors between the…

For a variety X which admits a Cox ring we introduce a functor from the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on $X$ to the category of graded modules over the homogeneous coordinate ring of $X$. We show that this functor is right-adjoint to…

This paper constructs derived autoequivalences associated to an algebraic flopping contraction \(X\to X_{\con}, \) where \(X\) is quasi-projective with only mild singularities. These functors are constructed naturally using bimodule cones,…

E. Segal proved that any autoequivalence of an enhanced triangulated category can be realised as a spherical twist. However, when exhibiting an autoequivalence as a spherical twist one has various choices for the source category of the…

We establish relations between Gorenstein projective precovers linked by Frobenius functors. This is motivated by an open problem that how to find general classes of rings for which modules have Gorenstein projective precovers. It is shown…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let $R$ be a commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider the $R$-linear category $\mathcal{F}^\Delta_{Rpp_k}$ of…

We develop a theory of Frobenius functors for symmetric tensor categories (STC) $\mathcal{C}$ over a field $\bf k$ of characteristic $p$, and give its applications to classification of such categories. Namely, we define a twisted-linear…

We study sets of commuting reflection functors in the derived category of sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties. We show that such a collection is determined by a set of mutually orthogonal spherical objects. We also show that when the spherical…

A classical result of Bondal-Orlov states that a standard flip in birational geometry gives rise to a fully faithful functor between derived categories of coherent sheaves. We complete their embedding into a semiorthogonal decomposition by…

Modular functors are traditionally defined as systems of projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces that are compatible with gluing. They can formally be described as modular algebras over central extensions of the…
