Symmetries of derived module categories via higher tau-tilting- and almost T-Koszul theory

Derived module categories are central mathematical objects since they can appear in many seemingly quite different fields of pure mathematics. Indeed, a given derived module category can sometimes be seen to be essentially the same as a very different kind of category arising in e.g. commutative ...
