Phantoms and Geometry

Let $\mathcal{D}(X)$ be the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$. An autoequivalence $\Phi: \mathcal{D}(X) \to \mathcal{D}(X)$ is called phantom if it ...

Base change in Chriss-Ginzburg

Below is a fragment of the book by Chriss and Ginzburg. Proposition 5.3.15(b) is stated in $K$-theory. My question is, does the same conclusion (and proof?) of proposition 5.3.15(b) (i.e. base change) ...

Which complexes of coherent sheaves can be presented as countable homotopy limits of perfect complexes?

Let $X$ be a noetherian scheme (actually, I need the case where $X$ is proper over an affine scheme), $C$ is an object of the derived category $D_{coh}(X)$ of coherent sheaves on $X$. Under which ...

Semi-orthogonal decompositions over singular schemes

Where can I find any more or less explicit semi-orthogonal decompositions of derived categories of perfect complexes or of bounded derived categories for singular schemes that are proper over a ring R?...

Bounded derived categories of which smooth projectives possess bounded t-structures whose hearts are categories of modules?

I am interested in $P$ that is smooth and proper over a field and such that the derived category of coherent sheaves $D^b(P)$ possesses a $t$-structure whose heart is the category of finitely ...

Which derived categories of coherent sheaves are equivalent (or "$t$-related") to derived categories of rings?

As far as I understand, it was Beilinson who proved that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $D^b(\mathbb{P}^n)$ is equivalent to the bounded derived category of a certain (non-...

Mapping cone and derived tensor product

This question is in some sense a continuation to this question: Derived Nakayama for complete modules For the setting: Let $A$ be a ring and let $I$ be some finitely generated ideal in $A$. Let $f\...

Tensor product of mapping cones

Fix a ring $R$. If $A^*_i \to B^*_i \to C^*_i \to A^*_i[1]$ is a distinguished triangle of complexes of $R$-modules, for $i=1$ and $2$ (so $C_i^* = cone(f_i^*)$ where $f_i^*: A_i^*\to B_i^*$), is ...

Is there a notion of injective, projective, flat, dimension for a differential graded algebra?

Given a differential graded algebra $(A_\bullet,d)$, is there a well-defined notion of a K-injective, K-projective, K-flat dimension of a differential graded module, or even of the category of ...

On (universal) additive functors making a given complex contractible: examples?

Let $M=(M^i)$ be a (cohomological) complex of objects of some additive category $A$ (I am mostly interested in "short" complexes; yet one may also consider an unbounded $M$). I am interested in those ...

Left orthogonals to compact objects in triangulated categories: existence and "control"?

Let $C$ be a compactly generated triangulated category. Can it contain a non-zero object $M$ such that there are no non-zero morphisms FROM $M$ into compact objects? I would be grateful for any ...

Could we extend the exact sequence $K^0(X)\to K_0(X)\to K_0(D_{sg}(X))\to 0$ to the left?

Let $X$ be a variety over a field $k$. We have the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $D^b_{coh}(X)$ and the derived category of perfect complex $Perf(X)$. It is clear that $Perf(X)$ is a ...

Is $K^0(X)\to K_0(X)$ monomorphic for a noetherian scheme $X$?

This question is related to the MO questions What is the difference between Grothendieck groups K_0(X) vs K^0(X) on schemes? and Does a fully faithful functor between triangulated categories induce ...

What (if anything) unifies stable homotopy theory and Grothendieck's six functors formalism?

I know of two very general frameworks for describing generalizations of what a "cohomology theory" should be: Grothendieck's "six functors", and the theory of spectra. In the former, one assigns to ...

When an exact embedding of abelian categories induces a full embedding of their derived categories?

Let $F:A\to A'$ be a (full) exact embedding of abelian categories. When $D(F):D(A)\to D(A')$ (or its bounded version) is a full embedding also? I would be interested in any necessary or sufficient ...
