The G-noncommutative minimal model program conjecture

Let GG be an algebraic group, let XX be a smooth projective variety with a GG-action, and let π:XY\pi:X\to Y be a GG-contraction. Let Stab(XG)\mathrm{Stab}(X_G) denote the space of stability conditions and let {σtπ,ψ}\{\sigma_t^{\pi,\psi}\} be a family of paths in Stab(XG)/C\mathrm{Stab}(X_G)/\mathbb C. For a GG-equivariant morphism π:XX\pi:X\to X' satisfying Rπ(OX)=OXR\pi_{\ast}(\mathcal O_X)=\mathcal O_{X'}, use the induced functor π:DGb(X)DGb(X)\pi^{\ast}:D^b_G(X')\to D^b_G(X). The GG-noncommutative minimal model program conjecture. (A) One can associate to π\pi a canonical family of quasi-convergent paths {σtπ,ψ}\{\sigma_t^{\pi,\psi}\} in Stab(XG)/C\mathrm{Stab}(X_G)/\mathbb C. Generic values of ψ\psi yield a GG-linear semiorthogonal decomposition of DGb(X)D^b_G(X), and different generic values give mutation-equivalent decompositions. (B) For a generic ψ\psi, the semiorthogonal factors of DGb(X)D^b_G(X) are closed under tensor product with complexes of the form π(E)\pi^{\ast}(E) for EPerfG(Y)E\in\mathrm{Perf}_G(Y). (C) Given a further GG-contraction YYY\to Y', the semiorthogonal decomposition of DGb(X)D^b_G(X) associated with XYX\to Y' refines the decomposition associated with XYX\to Y. (D) If π:XX\pi:X\to X' is a GG-equivariant morphism of smooth varieties with Rπ(OX)=OXR\pi_{\ast}(\mathcal O_X)=\mathcal O_{X'}, then for suitable parameters, the semiorthogonal decomposition of DGb(X)D^b_G(X) associated with XYX\to Y refines the decomposition obtained by combining the semiorthogonal decomposition of

π(DGb(X))DGb(X)\pi^{\ast}(D^b_G(X'))\cong D^b_G(X')

associated to XYX'\to Y with

DGb(X)=ker(π),π(DGb(X)).D^b_G(X)=\langle\operatorname{ker}(\pi_{\ast}),\pi^{\ast}(D^b_G(X'))\rangle.

The conjecture proposes a categorical version of the minimal model program in which GG-contractions determine canonical, compatible semiorthogonal decompositions of equivariant derived categories. The provided context establishes the relevant equivariant stability-condition and derived-category framework, but gives no evidence that any of (A)--(D) is known or resolved.
