Twisted complexes on a ringed space as a dg-enhancement of perfect complexes

Abstract

In this paper we study twisted complexes on a ringed space and prove that it gives a new dg-enhancement of the derived category of perfect complexes on that space. A twisted complex is a collection of locally defined sheaves together with the homotopic gluing data. In this paper we construct a dg-functor from twisted complexes to perfect complexes, which turns out to be a dg-enhancement. This new enhancement has the advantage of being completely geometric and it comes directly from the definition of perfect complex . In addition we will talk about some applications and further topics around twisted complexes.
