Bondal–Orlov–Kawamata DK conjecture

Let μ:X1X2\mu:X_1\longrightarrow X_2 be a birational map of smooth varieties, resolved by morphisms

fi:X0Xif_i:X_0\longrightarrow X_i

such that f1KX1f_1^*K_{X_1} and f2KX2f_2^*K_{X_2} are linearly equivalent; this is a K-equivalence. DK conjecture. Then X1X_1 and X2X_2 are derived equivalent. This conjecture predicts that K-equivalent smooth varieties have equivalent derived categories, and motivates the derived-equivalence result proved in the paper for simple flops of type D5D_5.
