A RECOLLEMENT APPROACH TO GEIGLE–LENZING WEIGHTED PROJECTIVE VARIETIES

Abstract

We introduce a new method for expanding an abelian category and study it using recollements. In particular, we give a criterion for the existence of cotilting objects. We show, using techniques from noncommutative algebraic geometry, that our construction encompasses the category of coherent sheaves on Geigle–Lenzing weighted projective lines. We apply our construction to some concrete examples and obtain new weighted projective varieties, and analyze the endomorphism algebras of their tilting bundles.
