One can see some initial answers in Huybrechts' book "Fourier-Mukai Transforms in Algebraic Geometry" 1. ([Huybrechts], Prop 4.1) If two smooth projective varieties are derived equivalent, then they have the same dimension. 2. ([Huybrechts], Prop 3.10) If $X$ is Noetherian, then $X$ is connected if and only if $D^b(Coh X)$ is indecomposable. I heard about the first part of the following argument as a folklore, someone should correct me if I am wrong: (EDIT: The following is WRONG. However, there is some interesting discussion in the comments to this answer.) 3. The compact objects in $D^b(Coh X)$ are precisely those quasi-isomorphic to bounded complex of locally free sheaves, so $X$ is regular if and only if every object in $D^b(Coh X)$ is compact.
