Given a commutative and graded Gorenstein ring $R$ with associated projective variety $X$, a theorem of Orlov gives fully faithful embeddings from the graded singularity category of $R$ to the derived category of $X$, or vice versa,…

Categorical resolutions of singularities are a replacement of resolution of singularities within the realm of triangulated categories. They allow the study of the derived category of a singular variety $X$ via a triangulated category that…

We study equivariant resolutions and local cohomologies of toric sheaves for affine toric varieties, where our focus is on the construction of new examples of decomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of higher rank. A result of Klyachko…

Given any toric subvariety $Y$ of a smooth toric variety $X$ of codimension $k$, we construct a length $k$ resolution of $\mathcal O_Y$ by line bundles on $X$. Furthermore, these line bundles can all be chosen to be direct summands of the…

Suppose $F\colon \mathcal{D}(X)\to \mathcal{T}$ is an exact functor from the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$ to a triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$. If $F$ possesses left and right adjoints,…

In this paper, we prove a generalization of Orlov's projectivization formula for the derived category $D^b_{\rm coh} (\mathbb{P}(\mathscr{E}))$, where $\mathscr{E}$ does not need to be a vector bundle; Instead, $\mathscr{E}$ is a coherent…

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…

In this short note we show how results of Orlov and To\"en imply that any equivalence between the derived categories of coherent sheaves on two varieties lifts to an equivalence at the level of dg-categories. This establishes the link…

This article concerns linear parts of minimal resolutions of finitely generated modules over commutative local, or graded rings. The focus is on the linearity defect of a module, which marks the point after which the linear part of its…

Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a Geigle-Lenzing projective plane of type $(2,2,2,p)$ and $\mathsf{coh} \mathbb{X}$ the category of coherent sheaves on $\mathbb{X}$. This paper is devoted to study ACM tilting bundles over $\mathbb{X}$, that is, tilting…

Huneke and Wiegand conjectured that, if $M$ is a finitely generated, non-free, torsion-free module with rank over a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $R$, then the tensor product of $M$ with its algebraic dual has torsion. This…

We generalise Fl\o{}ystad's theorem on the existence of monads on the projective space to a larger set of projective varieties. We consider a variety $X$, a line bundle $L$ on $X$, and a base-point-free linear system of sections of $L$…

Let \(C\) be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For the moduli space \(N(r,L)\) of stable vector bundles on \(C\) of rank \(r\) with fixed determinant \(L\), we study the group of exact…

Tilting objects play a key role in the study of triangulated categories. A famous result due to Iyama and Takahashi asserts that the stable categories of graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over quotient singularities have tilting…

Let $T$ be an infinitely generated tilting module of projective dimension at most one over an arbitrary associative ring $A$, and let $B$ be the endomorphism ring of $T$. In this paper, we prove that if $T$ is good then there exists a ring…

For a $Z$-graded Gorenstein ring $R$, we study the stable category $CM^ZR$ of $Z$-graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R$-modules, which is canonically triangle equivalent to the singularity category of Buchweitz and Orlov. Its thick subcategory…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We use the splitting of local cohomology to shed a new light on the structure of non-Cohen-Macaulay modules. Namely, we show…

We show that a small variant of the methods used by Voisin in her study of canonical curves leads to a surprisingly quick proof of the gonality conjecture of Green and the second author, asserting that one can read off the gonality of a…

This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…
