Tilting in $Q$-shaped derived categories

The main result of this paper is that there is sometimes a triangulated equivalence between $D_Q( A )$, the $Q$-shaped derived category of an algebra $A$, and $D( B )$, the classic derived category of a different algebra $B$. By construction, $D_Q( A )$ consists of $Q$-shaped diagrams of $A$-modules for a suitable small category $Q$. Our result concerns the case where $Q$ consists of shifts of indecomposable projective modules over a self-injective $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebra $\Lambda$. A notable special case is the result by Iyama, Kato, and Miyachi that $D_N( A )$, the $N$-derived category of $A$, is triangulated equivalent to $D( T_{ N-1 }A )$, the classic derived category of $T_{ N-1 }( A )$, which denotes upper diagonal $( N-1 ) \times ( N-1 )$-matrices over $A$. Several other special cases will also be discussed.
