Derived categories of cyclic covers and their branch divisors

Abstract: Given a variety

Y

with a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, we consider a degree

n

cyclic cover

X o Y

ramified over a divisor

Z s u b s e t Y

. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of

m a t h r m D^{b} (X)

and

m a t h r m D^{b} (Z)

with distinguished components

m a t h c a l A_{X}

and

m a t h c a l A_{Z}

, and prove the equivariant category of

m a t h c a l A_{X}

(with respect to an action of the

n

-th roots of unity) admits a semiorthogonal decomposition into

n - 1

copies of

m a t h c a l A_{Z}

. As examples we consider quartic double solids, Gushel-Mukai varieties, and cyclic cubic hypersurfaces.
