Abstract

Homological mirror symmetry predicts that there is a relation between autoequivalence groups of derived categories of coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties, and the symplectic mapping class groups of symplectic manifolds. In this paper, as an analogue of Dehn twists for mapping class groups of closed oriented real surfaces, we study spherical twists for derived categories of algebraic varieties. We introduce the intersection number and relate it to group-theoretic properties of spherical twists. As an application, we compute the center of autoequivalence groups of derived categories of K3 surfaces.
