Bondal–Orlov–Kawamata crepant-resolution derived-equivalence conjecture

Let XX be a normal algebraic variety with Gorenstein singularities, and let

π:YiX(i=1,2)\pi:Y_i\rightarrow X\qquad (i=1,2)

be two crepant resolutions by schemes or Deligne–Mumford stacks. An equivalence of triangulated categories is said to be linear over XX when it is compatible with the maps to XX. Bondal–Orlov–Kawamata's conjecture. There is an equivalence

F:Db(cohY1)Db(cohY2)F:\operatorname{D}^{\operatorname{b}}(\operatorname{coh} Y_1)\simeq \operatorname{D}^{\operatorname{b}}(\operatorname{coh} Y_2)

linear over XX. This conjecture expresses the expectation that crepant resolutions have the same categorical geometry; the source presents it as central motivation for non-commutative resolutions, without recording a general resolution.
