We study the equivariant category associated to a finite group action on the derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth projective variety. We discuss decompositions of the equivariant category and faithful actions, prove the…
We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective complex variety reconstructs the isomorphism classes of fibrations onto smooth projective curves of genus $g\geq 2$. Moreover, in dimension at most four,…
We develop an approach that allows to construct semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities whose components are equivalent to derived categories of local finite dimensional algebras.…
The derived category of bounded complexes of coherent sheaves is one of the most important algebraic invariants of a smooth projective variety. An important approach to understand derived categories is to construct full strongly exceptional…
A theorem by Orlov states that any equivalence between the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves of two smooth projective varieties, X and Y, is isomorphic to a Fourier-Mukai transform with kernel in the bounded derived category of…
We assume given a smooth symplectic (in the algebraic sense) resolution $X$ of an affine algebraic variety $Y$, and we prove that, possibly after replacing $Y$ with an etale neighborhood of a point, the derived category of coherent sheaves…
If G is a reductive group which acts on a linearized smooth scheme $X$ then we show that under suitable standard conditions the derived category of coherent sheaves of the corresponding GIT quotient stack $X^{ss}/G$ has a semi-orthogonal…
In this expository note, we discuss some results of the author on the structure of derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves and the derived categories of geometric invariant theory quotients. We take a recent perspective,…
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 give an explicit combinatorial description of the deformation theory of the Abelian category of (quasi)coherent sheaves on any separated Noetherian scheme $X$ via the deformation theory of path algebras of quivers with relations, by…
For any admissible subcategory of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth proper variety, we prove that sections of the canonical bundle impose a strong constraint on the supports of the objects of the subcategory or…
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…
We determine the generators of the autoequivalence group of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a bielliptic surface over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, we prove that any algebraic…
We discuss what is known about the structure of the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on Grassmannians of simple algebraic groups.
We show that the derived category of any singularity over a field of characteristic 0 can be embedded fully and faithfully into a smooth triangulated category which has a semiorthogonal decomposition with components equivalent to derived…
This note aims to clarify the deep relationship between birational modifications of a variety and semiorthogonal decompositions of its derived category of coherent sheaves. The result is a conjecture on the existence and properties of…
Given a generic family $Q$ of 2-dimensional quadrics over a smooth 3-dimensional base $Y$ we consider the relative Fano scheme $M$ of lines of it. The scheme $M$ has a structure of a generically conic bundle $M \to X$ over a double covering…
We examine the localizing subcategories of the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the projective line over a field. We provide a complete classification of all such subcategories which arise as the kernel of a cohomological…
Starting point of the present work is a conjecture of F. Catanese which says that in the derived category of coherent sheaves on any rational homogeneous manifold G/P there should exist a complete strong exceptional poset and a bijection of…
