Kuznetsov–Smirnov's residual-category conjecture for coadjoint varieties

About 5 years old · traced to

Let XX be the coadjoint variety of a simple algebraic group G\mathrm G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let T(G)\mathrm T(\mathrm G) be the Dynkin diagram of G\mathrm G, and let Tshort(G)\mathrm T_{\mathrm{short}}(\mathrm G) be its subdiagram formed by the vertices corresponding to short roots. A rectangular Lefschetz exceptional collection on XX has residual category R\mathcal R as its orthogonal complement. Kuznetsov–Smirnov's conjecture. The category Db(X)\mathbf D^{\mathrm b}(X) has an Aut⁡(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X)-invariant rectangular Lefschetz exceptional collection with residual category R\mathcal R such that, if T(G)=An\mathrm T(\mathrm G)=\mathrm A_n and nn is even, then R=0\mathcal R=0; otherwise, R\mathcal R is equivalent to the derived category of representations of a quiver of Dynkin type Tshort(G)\mathrm T_{\mathrm{short}}(\mathrm G). The conjecture predicts a uniform description of residual categories for coadjoint varieties; the source gives related constructions and quantum-spectrum evidence, but no general proof or resolution.
