Brauer groups and crepant resolutions (Q868914)

In this paper a twisted version of the categorical McKay correspondence is conjectured. Recall that the (untwisted) categorical McKay correspondence conjecture was stated in \textit{T. Bridgeland, A. King} and \textit{M. Reid} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 14 (3), 535--554 (2001; Zbl 0966.14028)]. Let \(G\) a finite group acting on a smooth irreducible variety \(U\) over \(\mathbb{C}\) and \(X\) a crepant resolution of the quotient \(U/G\). If the action of \(G\) preserves the canonical bundle of \(U\) and the fixed point sets always have codimension \(>1\), then it is conjectured that the bounded derived category \(D_G(U)\) of \(G\)-equivariant coherent sheaves on \(U\) is equivalent to the bounded derived category \(D(X)\) of coherent sheaves on \(X\). On one side, following \textit{A. Adem} and \textit{Y. Ruan} [Commun. Math. Phys. 237, No. 3, 533--556 (2003; Zbl 1051.57022)], given a class \(\alpha\) in \(H^2 (G, \mathbb{C}^{\ast})\), one can define the twisted equivariant derived category \(D_{G, \alpha}(U)\). On the other side, following \textit{A. Caldararu} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 544, 161--179 (2002; Zbl 0995.14012)], given a class \(\beta\) in the Brauer group Br\((X)\), one can define the bounded derived category \(D(X, \beta)\) of \(\beta\)-twisted coherent sheaves on \(X\). By constructing the subgroup \(B_G(U)\) of \(H^2(G, \mathbb{C}^{\ast})\) as the set of the classes contained in Br\((X)\), the authors can conjecture the equivalence between the categories \(D_{G,\alpha}(U)\) and \(D(X,\alpha)\) for \(\alpha\) in \(B_G(U)\). The authors prove that this two categories have periodic cyclic homology of the same dimension. An explicit example of the group \(B_G(U)\) is given and some open problems are stated.
