Triangulated categories and associative algebras in the geometry of singular varieties

The project belongs to algebraic geometry, homological algebra and representation theory in its interaction with theoretical physics. In the given research projects we can underline three guiding lines: - study of derived categories of coherent sheaves on singular varieties and their behavior in families, in particular in the case of degeneracies of elliptic curves, applications to the theory of the Yang-Baxter equation; - study of derived categories of certain associative algebras, their group of exact auto-equivalences, in particular effects of the Zopf group; combinatorial description of indecomposable complexes, derived categories of coherent sheaves on noncommutative curves; - stable category of Cohen-Macaulay modules over possibly noncommutative Gorenstein rings and their homological properties. There is interest in the study of these topics from the side of algebraic geometry and representation theory, as well as from other areas of mathematics (Yang-Baxter equation) and theoretical physics (mirror symmetry, D-Branes). The interactions between these areas make the topic particularly appealing.
