<p>Hello!</p> <p>Given a triangulated category, one can look for semiorthogonal decompositions into (simpler?) triangulated subcategories. </p> <p>I'd like to know if there's a way to attack the opposite problem, i.e. to classify the ways two given triangulated categories can be composed to give a big triangulated category which decomposes semiorthogonally into the given ones. Does anybody know about this? </p> <p>I hope this question isn't too vague.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I'm not sure but Proposition 1.16 in the paper:</p> <p><a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.0172" rel="nofollow">http://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.0172</a></p> <p>by Iyama-Kato-Miyachi might be related to your question.</p>

<p>If $T = \langle A ,B\rangle$ is a semiorthogonal decomposition and $\alpha_\ast:A \to T$, $\beta_\ast:B \to T$ are the embedding functors then one can consider the functor $\beta^\ast\circ\alpha_\ast:A \to B$ (or its right adjoint $\alpha^!\circ\beta_\ast:B \to A$). This is called the gluing functor. Morally, the ways of gluing $A$ to $B$ are classified by gluing functors --- to each functor one should be able to associate a triangulated category $T$ with a s.o.d. into $A$ and $B$ for which the gluing functor is isomorphic to the given one. Because of the well-known problems with nonfunctoriality of the cone, one cannot hope to prove this precise statement. However, if everything has a DG-enhancement, one can. </p> <p>Indeed, assume that $A = Hot(R)$, $B = Hot(S)$, where $R$ and $S$ are pretriangulated DG-algebras and assume that the functor $A \to B$ is realized by a $R-S$-bimodule $M$. Then one can consider a DG-algebra of the form $$ U = \left(\begin{array}{cc} R &amp; 0 \cr M &amp; S \end{array}\right). $$ Then $T := Hot(U)$ should give what you want.</p>
