Representability and autoequivalence groups

Abstract

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$, we prove that the bounded homotopy category of projective $A$-modules and the bounded derived category of $A$-modules are dual to each other via certain categories of locally-finite cohomological functors. The duality gives rise to a $2$-categorical duality between certain strict $2$-categories involving the bounded homotopy categories and bounded derived categories, respectively. We apply the $2$-categorical duality to the study of triangle autoequivalence groups. These results are analogous to the ones in [M.R. Ballard, {\em Derived categories of sheaves on singular schemes with an application to reconstruction}, Adv. Math. {\bf 227} (2011), 895--919].
