Equivalences via categorical sl(2) actions -- Sabin Cautis, May 1, 2009

The cotangent bundles of complementary Grassmannians G(k,N) and G(N-k,N) are related by a stratified Mukai flop. We illustrate how to use categorical sl(2) actions to construct a natural equivalence between their derived categories (of coherent sheaves). The resulting equivalence generalizes Seidel-Thomas twists. This is joint work with J. Kamnitzer and A. Licata.
