In this paper we construct a geometric model for the triangulated category generated by the simple modules of any graded gentle algebra. This leads to a geometric model of their perfect derived categories and by a recent paper of Booth, Goodbody and the first author also of their derived categories of objects with finite-dimensional cohomology. The construction is based on the ribbon graph associated to a gentle algebra in the work of the third author, and is linked to partially wrapped Fukaya categories by the work of Haiden, Katzarkov and Kontsevich and to derived categories of coherent sheaves on nodal stacky curves by the work of Lekili and Polishchuk. The ribbon graph gives rise to an oriented surface with boundary and marked points in the boundary. We show that the homotopy classes of curves connecting marked points and of closed curves are in bijection with the isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in the derived category of the graded gentle algebra. Intersections of curves correspond to morphisms and resolving the crossings of curves gives rise to mapping cones. The Auslander-Reiten translate corresponds to rotating endpoints of curves along the boundary. Furthermore, we show that the surface encodes the derived invariant of Avella-Alaminos and Geiss.

    For persistence modules of circle-valued functions, the interleaving distance equals the bottleneck distance between arc barcodes on a geometric model.

  2. Geometric models for endomorphism algebras of tilting modules over gentle algebras

    math.RT 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For gentle algebras from surface tilings, the endomorphism algebra of a tilting module attached to a faithful dissection is isomorphic to an explicitly defined quiver algebra, and a new tiling realizes that endomorphi...

  3. Homological Bounds of Gentle algebras

    math.RT 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under a strong-source or strong-sink condition on maximal forbidden paths, gentle algebras satisfy hb.dim A ≤ 2·gl.dim A − 1 (or 2·f.dim A − 1), yielding a new quasi-tilted criterion when gl.dim A = 2.

    math.RT 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a gentle algebra, indecomposables in the 1-periodic derived category are exactly string objects from curves between marked points and band objects from primitive closed curves with indecomposable k[x,x^-1]-modules.
