Nov 15, 2022 at 17:02 comment added SashaP @MartinBrandenburg Sorry which exactly statement you feel is false? I think it is true that if $Vect(X)\simeq Vect(\mathbb{P^n})$ then $X\simeq\mathbb{P^n}$ as sketched in my previous comments. This should more generally work for any variety with Neron-Sever rank 1 in place of $\mathbb{P}^n$.
Nov 15, 2022 at 11:25 comment added Martin Brandenburg Oh, I see. Actually my gut feeling is that the answer is No. Already for $\mathbb{P}^1$.
Nov 15, 2022 at 10:51 comment added SashaP Though I realized that my general argument is not quite correct: I was too hasty to claim that we can figure out which of the briationallly equivalent varieties $R(X,L)$ is $X$ itself, I edited the answer accordingly, so the original question is still open.
Nov 15, 2022 at 10:50 comment added SashaP @MartinBrandenburg If $L$ is an ample line bundle on a projective variety $X$ then $X$ is isomorphic to $Proj \oplus H^0(X,L^n)$, see e.g. stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/01Q1 Hence if we are able to prove that an equivalence $Vect(X)\simeq Vect(Y)$ carries an ample line bundle $L$ on $X$ to an ample line bundle $M$ on $Y$ then $X\simeq Proj \oplus H^0(X,L^n)\simeq Proj \oplus H^0(Y,M^n)\simeq Y$. This is the situation in this example because an ample line bundle on $X$ is necessarily carried to an ample line bundle on $\mathbb{P}^n$.

Nov 15, 2022 at 2:10 comment added Martin Brandenburg Why is X isomorphic to P^n here? Sorry for the stupid question.
Nov 15, 2022 at 1:35 comment added SashaP @MartinBrandenburg Maybe it is helpful to say that for your example of a variety $X$ with $Vect(X)=Vect(\mathbb{P}^n)$ what I'm suggesting comes down to simply turning your attempted argument around. Let's choose a very ample line bundle $L$ on $X$, it is carried to some $O(k)$ under this equivalence. The graded rings corresponding to $L$ and to $O(k)$ are isomorphic so we necessarily have $k>0$, and this proves that $X\simeq \mathbb{P}^n$ because $O(k)$ is very ample.
Nov 15, 2022 at 1:18 comment added Martin Brandenburg Unfortunately I lack the knowledge about algebraic geometry to understand this properly. But it seems that you overcome the problem that the property of being ample cannot be formulated within the category $\mathbf{Vect}(X)$ (again, the epimorphism issue!) by finding other conditions on the associated graded ring?
