[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00013.] Sheaves \(A_ 1,\ldots,A_ k\) on a manifold \(X\) are called building blocks, if every coherent sheaf on \(X\) has a two-sided finite resolution whose terms are direct sums of the \(A_ i\)'s. Beilinson showed that the twisted bundles of \(j\)-forms \(\Omega^ j_{\mathbb{P}_ n}(j)\) are building blocks on \(\mathbb{P}_ n\) [\textit{A. A. Bejlinson}, Funct. Anal. Appl. 12, 214-216 (1979); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 12, No. 3, 68-69 (1978; Zbl 0402.14006)]. Kapranov described building blocks on Grassmann manifolds, on flag manifolds and on smooth quadric hypersurfaces [\textit{M. M. Kapranov}, Math. USSR, Izv. 24, 183-192 (1985); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 48, No. 1, 192-202 (1984; Zbl 0564.14023) and Invent. Math. 92, No. 3, 479-508 (1988; Zbl 0651.18008)]. --- In the present paper the authors use the derived categories of bounded complexes of sheaves to construct building blocks on Schubert and Brieskorn varieties. These are, contrary to the above, in general nonhomogeneous varieties.
