Representable triangulated functors in terms of semiorthogonal decompositions
Jonas Frank, Mathias Schulze
TL;DR
This paper extends Bondal and Kapranov's representability results from cohomological functors to triangulated $\\mathsf{S}$-functors within an enriched, monoidal framework. It develops a setting with $\\mathsf{S}$ symmetric closed additive monoidal and $\\mathsf{S}$-triangulated categories, and proves that a triangulated $\\mathsf{S}$-functor $\\tau: \\mathcal{M} \\to \\mathcal{S}$ is $\\mathsf{S}$-representable whenever its restrictions to the components of a semiorthogonal decomposition $(\\mathcal{U}, \\mathcal{V})$ are $\\mathsf{S}$-representable. The proof glues component representations using the enriched Yoneda lemma and homotopy-cartesian arguments, with a variant under an additional SOD $(\\W, \\mathcal{U})$ simplifying certain steps (BK-alt-hyp). Conceptually, the work generalizes the classical BK89 lifting of representations to a setting where hom-objects live in an ambient triangulated category $\\mathsf{S}$, with potential applications to lifting Serre functors in derived categories.
Abstract
A theorem of Bondal and Kapranov lifts representations of cohomological functors from semiorthogonal decompositions of triangulated categories. We present a version of this result for triangulated functors. To this end, we introduce suitable terminology in enriched category theory and transfer the original proof.
