Introduction to Derived Categories and Semiorthogonal Decompositions

ABSTRACT: We will give a brief introduction to bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties, by focusing at semiorthogonal decompositions. We will start by describing the derived category of projective spaces, and then present more recent applications to classical problems in geometry, by following work of Kuznetsov.
