On equivalences of derived and singular categories (Q2379254)

Let \(X\) be a variety. The triangulated category \(D^b(X)\) of bounded complexes contains the full triangulated subcategory \(Perf(X)\) of perfect complexes. If \(X\) is smooth, then \(Perf(X) = D^b(X)\), but this is no longer true if \(X\) is singular. \textit{D. Orlov} [``Triangulated categories of singularities and D-branes in Landau-Ginzburg models'', \url{arXiv:math/0302304}] defined the derived category of singularities \(D_{sg}(X)\) of \(X\) as the quotient triangulated category of \(D^b(X)\) by \(Perf(X)\). This category turns out to be very important for the study of mirror symmetry for Fano varieties. In this paper, the authors consider \(\mathcal X\) and \(\mathcal Y\) two smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks with a pair of functors \(f: {\mathcal X} \to {\mathbb A}^1\) and \(g: {\mathcal Y} \to {\mathbb A}^1\). Assuming that there exists a relative Fourier--Mukai equivalence between \(D^b({\mathcal X})\) and \(D^b({\mathcal Y})\) whose kernel is a complex of sheaves on the fibered product \({\mathcal X} \times_{{\mathbb A}^1} {\mathcal Y}\), they show that the induced Fourier-Mukai functor between the derived categories of singularities of the fibers of \(f\) and \(g\) over \(0\) is also an equivalence. The second part of the paper is dedicated to applications of this result in the settings of the McKay correspondence and toric geometry.
