Semiorthogonal decompositions of equivariant derived categories of invariant divisors

Abstract: Given a smooth variety $X$ with an action of a finite group $G$, and a semiorthogonal decomposition of the derived category, $\mathcal{D}([X/G])$, of $G$-equivariant coherent sheaves on $X$ into subcategories equivalent to derived categories of smooth varieties, we construct a similar semiorthogonal decomposition for a smooth $G$-invariant divisor in $X$ (under certain technical assumptions). Combining this procedure with the semiorthogonal decompositions constructed in [PV15], we construct semiorthogonal decompositions of some equivariant derived categories of smooth projective varieties.
