Bondal–Polishchuk transitivity conjecture for full exceptional sequences

Let T\mathcal{T} be a triangulated category admitting a full exceptional sequence of length nn, and let Bn\mathfrak{B}_n denote the braid group on nn strands. The group ZnBn\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes\mathfrak{B}_n acts on the set of full exceptional sequences in T\mathcal{T}. Bondal–Polishchuk conjecture. The action of ZnBn\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes\mathfrak{B}_n is transitive on the set of full exceptional sequences in T\mathcal{T}. This conjecture concerns the classification of full exceptional sequences up to shifts and braid-group mutations. It has been proved for the derived category of a gentle algebra arising from a dissection of a marked surface with zero genus, while the paper provides counterexamples in other settings.
