It depends on each case. In general there is an explicit birational map from $X$ to a rational variety (typically $P^4$, or a quadric, as it is the case for pfaffian cubics), whose indeterminacy locus …

Two K3 surfaces show up when talking about cubic fourfolds containing a plane. Let $P\subset X\subset \mathbb{P}^5$ be the plane inside the cubic. Since $P$ is cut out by 3 linear equations then $X$ h …

Let $X\subset P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. It is well known that its variety of lines $F(X)$ is a smooth fourfold Fano variety. Hence its derived category should have a semi-orthogonal decompositi …

Let $(F^\bullet,d_F)$ and $(G^\bullet,d_G)$ be two complexes in an abelian category $\mathbf{A}$. The complex cone $Cone(\varphi)^\bullet$ of a morphism of complexes $\varphi:F^\bullet \to G^\bullet$ …

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $k$ and $D^b(X)$ its bounded derived category. Let $\bar{X}$ the base change to $\bar{k}$. Let $A$ be a triangulated subcategory of $D^b(X)$ that $\ …

Suppose I have a smooth projective variety $X$, and a semi-orthogonal decomposition of its bounded derived category: $$D^b(X)= < A, E_1, E_2, ... , E_n >$$ where the $E_i$ are fully faithful, satura …

Suppose I have a smooth projective variety $X$ and a semi-orthogonal decomposition of its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves $D^b(X)$. Then I can apply right or left mutations to the full a …

I am learning stability conditions for derived categories of coherent sheaves, following Bridgeland, and coming from a vector bundles background. $\mu$-stability for vector bundles has a clear GIT ori …
