Triangle singularities, ADE-chains, and weighted projective lines (Q1946790)

The paper under review studies the category of vector bundles \(vect-\mathbb{X}\) over \(\mathbb{X}:=\mathbb{X}(a,b,c)\), the weighted projective line of weight type \((a,b,c)\), over an algebraically closed field. The category of coherent sheaves \(coh-\mathbb{X}\) can be obtained by applying Serre's construction to the triangle singularity \(x_{1}^{a}+x_{2}^{b}+x_{3}^{c}\). The article shows that \(vect-\mathbb{X}\) is a Frobenius category, where the line bundles are the indecomposable projective-injective objects. Also, the category \(\underline{vect}-\mathbb{X}\) obtained by taking the quotient of \(vect-\mathbb{X}\) by the line bundles is triangulated and has a tilting object, and it is fractional Calabi Yau, of CY-dimension a function of the Euler characteristic. The main point to prove this is the characterization of certain exceptional objects in the category. It is proven that each indecomposable rank \(2\) bundle \(F\) is exceptional in \(coh-\mathbb{X}\) and in \(vect-\mathbb{X}\) and, up to line bundle twist, \(F\) is isomorphic to an extension bundle. It is also shown explicitly that certain class of bundles form a strong exceptional sequence hence a tilting object. The applications of this are, a factorization property showing that many morphisms in the category of vector bundles factor through a direct sum of line bundles, a very simple explanation of Happel-Seidel symmetry, and the setup of a framework for the ADE-chain problem.
