We give a sufficient condition for an Ext-finite triangulated category to be saturated. Saturatedness means that every contravariant cohomological functor of finite type to vector spaces is representable. The condition consists in existence of a strong generator. We prove that the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth proper commutative and noncommutative varieties have strong generators, hence saturated. In contrast the similar category for a smooth compact analytic surface…

Abstract For a finite dimensional algebra A, the bounded homotopy category of projective A-modules and the bounded derived category of A-modules are dual to each other via certain categories of…

Regular subcategories in bounded derived categories of affine schemes

Let be a commutative Noetherian ring such that is connected. We prove that the category contains no proper full triangulated subcategories which are strongly generated. We also bound below the…

On Serre duality for compact homologically smooth DG algebras

The bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety is known to be equivalent to the triangulated category of perfect modules over a DG algebra. DG algebras, arising in…

This paper studies the categorical version of the concept of mutations of an exceptional set, as used in the theory of vector bundles. The basic object of study is a triangulated category with a…

Locally free resolutions of coherent sheaves on surfaces.

Deriving DG categories

— We investigate the (unbounded) derived category of a differential Z-graded category (=DG category). As a first application, we deduce a "triangulated analogue" (4.3) of a theorem of Freyd's [5],…

Abstract In this note we prove existence theorems for dualizing complexes over graded and filtered rings, thereby generalizing some results by Zhang, Yekutieli, and Jorgensen.

Resolutions of unbounded complexes

Various types of resolutions of unbounded complexes of sheaves are constructed, with properties analogous to injectivity, flatness, flabbiness, etc. They are used to remove some boundedness…
