Non-commutative desingularization of determinantal varieties, II: Arbitrary minors

International Mathematics Research Notices

2015

In our paper “Non-commutative desingularization of determinantal varieties I”, we constructed and studied non-commutative resolutions of determinantal varieties defined by maximal minors. At the end of the introduction, we asserted that the results could be ...

On the derived category of Grassmannians in arbitrary characteristic

Compositio Mathematica

2015

In this paper we consider Grassmannians in arbitrary characteristic. Generalizing Kapranov's well-known characteristic-zero results, we construct dual exceptional collections on them (which are, however, not strong) as well as a tilting bundle. We show that this ...

Strong global dimension of commutative rings and schemes

Journal of Algebra

2015

The strong global dimension of a ring is the supremum of the length of perfect complexes that are indecomposable in the derived category. In this note we characterize the noetherian commutative rings that have finite strong global dimension. We also give a ...
