Abstract: We study triangulated categories which can be modeled by an oriented marked surface $mathcalS$ and a line field $eta$ on $mathcalS$. This includes bounded derived categories of gentle algebras and -- conjecturally -- all partially wrapped Fukaya categories introduced by Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich. We show that triangle equivalences between such categories induce diffeomorphisms of the associated surfaces preserving orientation, marked points and line fields up to homotopy. This shows that the pair $(mathcalS,eta)$ is a triangle invariant of such categories and prove that it is a complete derived invariant for gentle algebras of arbitrary global dimension. We deduce that the group of auto-equivalences of a gentle algebra is an extension of the stabilizer subgroup of $eta$ in the mapping class group and a group, which we describe explicitely in case of triangular gentle algebras. We show further that diffeomorphisms associated to spherical twists are Dehn twists.
