Abstract

For $Y,Y^+$ three-dimensional smooth varieties related by a flop, Bondal and Orlov conjectured that the derived categories $D^b(\coh(Y))$ and $D^b(\coh(Y^+))$ are equivalent. This conjecture was recently proved by Bridgeland. Our aim in this paper is to give a partially new proof of Bridgeland's result using noncommutative rings. The new proof also covers some mild singular and higher-dimensional situations (including those occuring in the recent paper by Chen [11]).
