Every other Hodge isometry of the cohomology of a K3 surface is induced by an autoequivalence of the derived category pdf-file
Unpublished preprint FU Berlin (2002). This material is included in my thesis.
The same argument appeared in the paper "Autoequivalences of Derived Category of A K3 Surface and Monodromy Transformations" by Hosono, Lian, Oguiso and Yau.

Fourier-Mukai transforms and stable bundles on elliptic curves pdf-file
Contributions to Algebra and Geometry (Beiträge zur Algebra und Geometrie) Vol. 46, No. 2 (2005), 423-434.
Joint work with Georg Hein (2003). See also Chapter 14 in the book "Abelian Varieties, Theta Functions and the Fourier Transform" by Polishchuk; and see this and this paper by Burban and Kreussler for the case of singular curves.

Groups of autoequivalences of derived categories of smooth projective varieties pdf-file
This is my PhD thesis, handed in January 31, 2005. My supervisor was Daniel Huybrechts.

Equivariant autoequivalences for finite group actions pdf-file
Advances in Mathematics 216 (2007), 62-74.
This stems from chapter 3 of my thesis but contains major improvements. The arXiv version can be found here.
If reading the article, it is valuable to also look at section 4 of this paper by Dolgachev.

Postnikov-Stability for Complexes on Curves and Surfaces pdf-file
Accepted by International Journal of Mathematics.
Joint work with Georg Hein. Here we provide a new notion of (semi)stability for complexes (or objects in a triangulated category). The starting point is that semistable bundles on a curve always have a non-trivial orthogonal complement in the derived sense. In particular, it is a different type of generalisation that Bridgeland's notion of a stability condition which start from the Harder-Narashiman filtrations. The arXiv version can be found here.

McKay correspondence for the Poincare series of Kleinian and Fuchsian singularities pdf-file
Mathematischen Annalen 347 (2010), 689-702.
Joint work with Wolfgang Ebeling. The arXiv version is here.
Also see this article by Kajiura, Saito, Takahashi about a different lift of the Milnor lattice of a Kleinian singularity, to a hereditary category (be sure to also look at the appendix by Ueda). And see this paper by the same authors about a lift to a hereditary category of some Fuchsian hypersurface singularities coming from weight systems. Note that the categorical approach of the above article works for a much larger class of Fuchsian singularities.

Postnikov-stability versus Semistability of Sheaves pdf-file
Joint with Georg Hein. A sequel to the first article on Postnikov stability. We show that Postnikov-stability encompasses both Giesker and slope semistability, in arbitrary dimension. Available on the arXiv here.

Poincare series and Coxeter functors for Fuchsian singularities pdf-file
Advances in Mathematics 225 (2010), 1387-1398.
Joint work with Wolfgang Ebeling. The arXiv version is here. This article introduces a notion of Coxeter element for Fuchsian singularities of higher genus, where the Milnor lattice does not have a root basis anymore. We justify this definition by showing that it generalises earlier results about Poincare series and proceed to lift the Coxeter element to a functor.

Autoequivalencs of toric surfaces pdf-file
Accepted by Proceedings of the AMS.
Joint work with Nathan Broomhead. The arXiv version is here.

A geometric construction of Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams of bimodal singularities pdf-file
Joint work with Wolfgang Ebeling. The arXiv version is here.

Comparing Coxeter functors made from exceptional and spherical objects pdf-file
Joint work with Chris Brav. This is a preprint, feedback is welcome. The first two sections (including the statement and proof of the main theorem) are finished.

How not to hang a picture on a wall — Topology in school pdf-file
This is not mathematical research. I wrote this article because I got positive feedback about my short notes for some Kangaroo sessions .
