Algebraic bundles over \(\mathbb P^n\) and problems of linear algebra (Q1134783)

In this classic paper the authors describe the bounded derived category \(D^b ({\mathbb P}^n)\) of coherent sheaves on the projective space \({\mathbb P}^n\). The main result shows that \(D^b ({\mathbb P}^n)\) is equivalent to a certain quotient of the category of graded modules over the algebra of \(V=H^0({\mathbb P}^n,{\mathcal O}(1))\). One can also replace the exterior algebra of \(V\) by the symmetric algebra of \(V\). This result was motivated by earlier results of Horrocks who introduced monads and it was the first example of computation of the derived category of coherent sheaves on an algebraic variety. Two other, although similar, descriptions of \(D^b ({\mathbb P}^n)\) were obtained at the same time by \textit{A. A. Beilinson} in [Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 12, 68--69 (1978; Zbl 0402.14006)] using a more geometric approach. What makes this remarkable paper different to Beilinson's paper is the observation that the derived categories of two non-equivalent abelian categories can still be equivalent as triangulated categories. This observation was further observed, e.g., in the study of categories of modules over finite-dimensional algebras [see e.g., \textit{D. Happel}'s book ``Triangulated categories in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras''. London Math. Soc. Lecture Note Series 119, Cambridge University Press (1988; Zbl 0635.16017)] and later in case of Fourier-Mukai equivalent algebraic varieties (see references below). One should also mention, among many other subsequent results, the very explicit description of the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand correspondence by \textit{D. Eisenbud, G. Fløystad}, and \textit{F.-O. Schreyer} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, 4397--4426 (2003; Zbl 1063.14021)]. For recent advances in the study of derived categories of sheaves for algebraic varieties we refer to the books of \textit{D. Huybrechts} [Fourier-Mukai transforms in algebraic geometry. Oxford Mathematical Monographs, Oxford: Clarendon Press (2006; Zbl 1095.14002)] and \textit{C. Bartocci, U. Bruzzo} and \textit{D. Hernandez-Ruiperez} [Fourier-Mukai and Nahm transforms in geometry and mathematical physics. Progress in Mathematics 276, Birkhäuser (2009; Zbl 1186.14001)] and the references within.
