Exceptional collections on isotropic Grassmannians

Abstract

We introduce a new construction of exceptional objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves on a compact homogeneous space of a semisimple algebraic group and show that it produces exceptional collections of the length equal to the rank of the Grothendieck group on homogeneous spaces of all classical groups.Comment: v1: 51 page; v2: 55 pages, to appear in JEM
