Tilting objects in periodic triangulated categories

Abstract

A triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$ whose suspension functor $Σ$ satisfies $Σ^m \simeq \mathrm{Id}_{\mathcal{T}}$ as additive functors is called an $m$-periodic triangulated category. Such a category does not have a tilting object by the periodicity. In this paper, we introduce the notion of an $m$-periodic tilting object in an $m$-periodic triangulated category, which is a periodic analogue of a tilting object in a triangulated category, and prove that an $m$-periodic triangulated category having an $m$-periodic tilting object is triangulated equivalent to the $m$-periodic derived category of an algebra under some homological assumptions. As an application, we construct a triangulated equivalence between the stable category of a self-injective algebra and the $m$-periodic derived category of a hereditary algebra.
