Consider a Grothendieck category $\mathcal{G}$ along with a choice of generator $G$, or equivalently a generating set $\{G_i\}$. We introduce the derived category $\mathcal{D}(G)$, which kills all $G$-acyclic complexes, by putting a…

In this paper we prove that the dimension of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth quasi-projective curve is equal to one. We also discuss dimension spectrums of these categories.

We give a sufficient condition for an Ext-finite triangulated category to be saturated. Saturatedness means that every contravariant cohomological functor of finite type to vector spaces is representable. The condition consists in existence…

Following ideas of Lawvere and Linton we prove that classical varieties are precisely the exact categories with a varietal generator. This means a strong generator which is abstractly finite and regularly projective. An analogous…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an essentially small abelian category. We prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ admits a generator $M$ with ${\rm End}_{\mathcal{A}}(M)$ right artinian, then $\mathcal{A}$ admits a projective generator. If $\mathcal{A}$ is…

Since curved dg algebras, and modules over them, have differentials whose square is not zero, these objects have no cohomology, and there is no classical derived category. For different purposes, different notions of "derived" categories…

Let $A$ be a graded algebra. It is shown that the derived category of dg modules over $A$ (viewed as a dg algebra with trivial differential) is a triangulated hull of a certain orbit category of the derived category of graded $A$-modules.…

Suppose $C$ is a smooth projective curve of genus 1 over a perfect field $F$, and $E$ is its Jacobian. In the case that $C$ has no $F$-rational points, so that $C$ and $E$ are not isomorphic, $C$ is an $E$-torsor with a class $\delta(C)\in…

The most commonly known triangulated categories arise from chain complexes in an abelian category by passing to chain homotopy classes or inverting quasi-isomorphisms. Such examples are called `algebraic' because they originate from abelian…

We consider the field of hyperelliptic functions defined for a family of hyperelliptic curves as rational functions in some special functions from Kleinian functions theory. We compare our definition with the classical one. We provide…

The main result of this paper is that there is an additive equivalence between $\overline{\mathcal{C}}_n$, the Paquette-Yildirim completion of the discrete cluster categories of Dynkin type $A_{\infty}$, and the perfect derived category of…

We show that if $\alpha$ is a regular cardinal, $\mathcal{D}$ is an $\alpha$-compactly generated triangulated category, in the sense of Neeman \cite{N}, and $\tau$ is a t-structure in $\mathcal{D}$ generated by a set of $\alpha$-compact…

We provide a simple criterion for an element of the mapping class group of a closed surface to have normal closure equal to the whole mapping class group. We apply this to show that every nontrivial periodic mapping class that is not a…

In this paper we prove first a general theorem on semiorthogonal decompositions in derived categories of coherent sheaves for flat families over a smooth base. Based on the results of math.AG/0510670, we then show that the derived…

We give an explicit way of writing down a minimal set of generators for the canonical ideal of a non-degenerate curve, or of a more general smooth projective curve in a toric surface, in terms of its defining Laurent polynomial.

We determine versal non-commutative deformations of some simple collections in the categories of perverse coherent sheaves arising from tilting generators for projective morphisms.

Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…

Let Q be a finite quiver without sources, and A be the corresponding algebra with radical square zero. We construct an explicit compact generator for the homotopy category of acyclic complexes of projective A-modules. We call such a…

We determine some of the derived equivalences of a class of gentle algebras called surface algebras. These algebras are constructed from an unpunctured Riemann surface of genus 0 with boundary and marked points by introducing cuts in…

A voltage graph is a finite directed graph whose edges are labeled by elements of a finite group $G$. A classical construction of Gross and Tucker associates to every voltage graph with vertex set $V$ a so-called derived graph with vertex…
