Description:

The study of derived categories has a central role in algebraic geometry. A celebrated theorem by Bondal and Orlov states that smooth projective varieties with ample (anti)canonical bundle and equivalent bounded derived categories are isomorphic. This statement is not true in general, but weaker formulations involving the notion of semiorthogonal decomposition have been proved in many interesting geometric contexts. Furthermore, moduli spaces of stable objects in the derived category provide a way to construct new smooth projective varieties and to study their birational geometry by wall-crossing. In the framework of resolutions of singularities, derived categories can be used to characterize the singularity of a variety. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts working in these fields to discuss the recent developments in the theory and exchange new ideas.
