Derived categories of irreducible projective curves of arithmetic genus one

Abstract

We investigate the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on irreducible singular projective curves of arithmetic genus one. A description of the group of exact auto-equivalences and the set of all t-structures of this category is given. We describe the moduli space of stability conditions, obtain a complete classification of all spherical objects in this category and show that the group of exact auto-equivalences acts transitively on them. Harder-Narasimhan filtrations in the sense of Bridgeland are used as our main technical tool.
