Reconstruction of a variety from the derived category and groups of autoequivalences (Q2711352)

There exist examples of different varieties \(X\) with equivalent derived categories \(D^b_{coh}(X)\) of coherent sheaves. The authors show that \(D^b_{coh}(X)\) neet not to be a weak invariant of \(X\). They prove that \(X\) is uniquely determined by its category \(D^b_{coh}(X)\) if its anticanonical (Fano case) or canonical (general type case) sheaf is ample. Among other results, they prove that, for a smooth algebraic variety with either ample canonical or anticanonical sheaf, the group of exact autoequivalences is the semidirect product of the group of automorphisms of the variety and the Picard group of translations.
