Dévissage for generation in derived categories
Abstract
We study a form of dévissage for generation in derived categories of Noetherian schemes. First, we extend a result of Takahashi from the affine context to the global setting, showing that the bounded derived category is classically generated by a perfect complex together with structure sheaves of closed subschemes supported on the singular locus. Second, we make an observation for how generation behaves under the derived pushforward of a proper surjective morphism between Noetherian schemes. These results enable us to explicitly identify strong generators for projective schemes with isolated singularities and for singular varieties over a perfect field.
