The \(\mathbf D\)-standard and \(K\)-standard categories (Q1649327)

Let \(k\) be a field and \(A\) be a finite dimensional \(k\)-algebra. The module category \(A\)-mod is called \(D\)-standard if any pseudo identity on \(D^b(A\mathrm{-mod})\) is isomorphic to the identity functor as triangle functors. In this paper, the authors show that \(A\)-mod is \(D\)-standard if and only if any derived equivalence from \(D^b(A\mathrm{-mod})\) is standard. The notion of a \(K\)-standard additive category is introduced, where a pseudo identity on the bounded homotopy category is involved. They also prove that if the category of projective \(A\)-modules is \(K\)-standard then \(A\)-mod is \(D\)-standard.
