Semi-orthogonal decompositions seminar

In this seminar we study work on the derived categories of coherent sheaves on schemes, particularly focusing on methods related to semi-orthogonal decompositions. After building up the basic theory of derived categories, we will examine various cases of semi-orthogonal decompositions arising in geometry. Finally, we will see some examples of how these techniques are used in modern algebraic geometry research, with the specifics flexible depending on participant interest!

A more detailed summary of the seminar, including topics for the future talks and references, is available here (last updated January 8th).
