A particular morphism being zero in the singularity category

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $D^b(R)$ be the bounded derived category of finitely generated $R$-modules. Let $D_{sg}(R)$ be the singularity category, which is the Verdier localization $...

Thick subcategory containment in bounded derived category vs. singularity category

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and $D^b(\operatorname{mod } R)$ the bounded derived category of the abelian category of finitely generated $R$-modules. Let me abbreviate this as $D^b(R)$. ...

Multiplication map by a ring element on an object vs. all its suspensions in singularity category

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, consider the bounded derived category of finitely generated $R$-modules $D^b(R)$ and consider the singularity category $D_{sg}(R):=D^b(R)/D^{perf}(R)$. Let $r\...

Generating $K^b(\mathrm{proj})$ as a triangulated category from a full subcategory

Let $K^b(\mathrm{proj}\, A)$ be the bounded homotopy category of chain complexes over $\mathrm{proj}\, A$. In Rickard's paper 'Derived categories and stable equivalence', he defines a tilting complex ...

Are mapping cones in the bounded homotopy category of chain complexes isomorphic?

Let $A$ be an additive category. Suppose we have distinguished triangles $$X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z \rightarrow X[1]$$ and $$X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z' \rightarrow X[1]$$ in the bounded ...

Complete the following sequence: point, triangle, octahedron, . . . in a dg-category

Let $\mathcal C$ be a pre-triangulated dg-category (or a stable $\infty$-category, if you wish). An object $X$ in $\mathcal C$ gives a "point": $$X$$ A morphism $X\xrightarrow f Y$ in $\mathcal C$ ...

Resolutions of unbounded complexes and homotopy (co)limits.

I want to understand once and for all what the resolution of an unbounded complex is. I've been trying to read 'Homotopy limits in triangulated categories' by Marcel Bokstedt and Amnon Neeman and can'...
