On equivariant derived categories (2006.13626v2)

Abstract: We study the equivariant category associated to a finite group action on the derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth projective variety. We discuss decompositions of the equivariant category and faithful actions, prove the existence of a Serre functor, give a criterion for the equivariant category to be Calabi--Yau, and describe an obstruction for a subgroup of the group of auto-equivalences to act. As application we show that the equivariant category of any symplectic action on the derived category of an elliptic curve is equivalent to the derived category of an elliptic curve.
