Abstract: We prove that if two abelian varieties have equivalent derived categories then the derived categories of the smooth stacks associated to the corresponding Kummer varieties are equivalent as well. The second main result establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of equivalences between the twisted derived categories of two Kummer surfaces in terms of Hodge isometries between the generalized transcendental lattices of the corresponding abelian surfaces.


Let \(A\) be an abelian variety with a \({\mathbb Z}_2\)-action given by the involution \(a\to -a\). The author proves that if two abelian varieties have equivalent derived categories then their quotients by the corresponding involutions also have equivalent derived categories (in the orbifold or stacky sense, as the quotients are singular). This result was known in the surface case [see \textit{S. Hosono, B. H. Lian, K. Oguiso} and \textit{S.-T. Yau}, Duke Math. J. 120, No.~3, 635--647 (2003; Zbl 1051.14046)]. The author also proves that the derived categories of twisted coherent sheaves on two Kummer surfaces associated to abelian surfaces \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) are equivalent if and only if \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) twisted by some classes in the Brauer group have Hodge isometric generalized transcendental lattices. This result was earlier known in the untwisted case.
