In arXiv:2007.14415 we proved that the "flop-flop" autoequivalence can be realized as the spherical twist around a spherical functor whose source category arises naturally from the geometry. In this companion paper we study in detail some…

We provide a new and very short proof of the fact that a spherical functor between certain triangulated categories induces an autoequivalence.

For two DG-categories A and B we define the notion of a spherical Morita quasi-functor A -> B. We construct its associated autoequivalences: the twist T of D(B) and the co-twist F of D(A). We give powerful sufficiency criteria for a…

In this short note we observe that, for purely formal reasons, any autoequivalence can be constructed as a twist around a spherical functor. As an example, we show how the P-twists constructed by Huybrechts and Thomas can be formulated as…

Given a ring morphism, this paper constructs the twist functor around the induced derived restriction of scalars functor. We prove that the twist around ring morphisms is a derived autoequivalence in the setting of twists induced by…

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…

We study an admissible subcategory of the Bondal quiver which conjecturally does not admit any Bridgeland stability conditions. Specifically, we prove that its Serre functor coincides with the spherical twist associated with a $3$-spherical…

We prove the action of the full twist is a Serre functor in the homotopy category of dihedral Soergel Bimodules. Our proof relies on the representability of a certain partial trace functor, which we prove using the diagrammatics for…

Given an exact functor between triangulated categories which admits both adjoints and whose cotwist is either zero or an autoequivalence, we show how to associate a unique full triangulated subcategory of the codomain on which the functor…

Flops are birational transformations which, conjecturally, induce derived equivalences. In many cases an equivalence can be produced as pull-push via a resolution of the birational transformation; when this happens, we have a non-trivial…

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…

We introduce a relative version of the spherical objects of Seidel and Thomas. Define an object E in the derived category D(Z x X) to be spherical over Z if the corresponding functor from D(Z) to D(X) gives rise to autoequivalences of D(Z)…

For a subanalytic Legendrian $\Lambda \subseteq S^{*}M$, we prove that when $\Lambda$ is either swappable or a full Legendrian stop, the microlocalization at infinity $m_\Lambda: \operatorname{Sh}_\Lambda(M) \rightarrow \operatorname{\mu…

With applications in mind to the representations and cohomology of block algebras, we examine elements of the graded center of a triangulated category when the category has a Serre functor. These are natural transformations from the…

This paper has been withdrawn and replaced by arXiv:1309.5035. In this paper we describe some examples of so called spherical functors between triangulated categories, which generalize the notion of a spherical object. We also give…

We construct new examples of derived autoequivalences for a family of higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties. Specifically, we take the total spaces of certain natural vector bundles over Grassmannians G(r,d) of r-planes in a d-dimensional…

We propose a new theory of (non-split) P^n-functors. These are F: A -> B for which the adjunction monad RF is a repeated extension of Id_A by powers of an autoequivalence H and three conditions are satisfied: the monad condition, the…

This note gives a generalization of spherical twists, and describe the autoequivalences associated to certain non-spherical objects. Typically these are obtained by deforming the structure sheaves of (0,-2)-curves on threefolds, or…

For a semisimple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ is of particular interest in representation theory. It is known that Irving's shuffling functors $\mathrm{Sh}_{w}$, indexed by elements $w\in W$ of the Weyl…

A criterion for a functor between derived categories of coherent sheaves to be full and faithful is given. A semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of coherent sheaves on the intersection of two even dimensional quadrics is…
