Derived category of local systems of finite type on a $K(\pi,1)$ space: an explicit counterexample

Let $X$ be a nice enough topological space. I am mostly interested in smooth complex algebraic varieties. One may ask whether the bounded derived category of the category $\mathrm{Loc}(X)$ of local ...

Sheaf-type property for Derived Categories?

Suppose $X$ is a finite dimensional complex space (I'm happy to restrict to $X$ being a scheme of finite type over $\mathbb C$ as well). I'm wondering if the following sheaf-like properties hold for ...

What is the relation between the Lie bracket on $TX$ as commutator and that coming from the Atiyah class?

Let X be a complex manifold and $TX$ its tangent bundle. The Atiyah class $\alpha(E)\in \text{Ext}^1(E\otimes TX, E)$ for a vector bundle $E$ is defined to be the obstruction to the global existence ...

Smoothness of a projective variety via the derived category

Let $X$ be a smooth projective integral variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $Y$ be a (not necessarily smooth) projective integral variety over $k$. Assume that $D^b(X) \cong D^b(Y)$. ...
