A note on semiorthogonal indecomposability of some Cohen-Macaulay varieties

Abstract

In this short note, we observe that the criterion proven in [12] for semiorthogonal indecomposability of the derived category of smooth DM stacks based on the canonical bundle can be extended to the case of projective varieties with Cohen-Macaulay singularities. As a consequence, all projective curves of positive arithmetic genus have weakly indecomposable bounded derived categories and indecomposable categories of perfect complexes.
