Derived categories of Thaddeus pair moduli spaces via d-critical flips

We show that the moduli spaces of Thaddeus pairs on smooth projective curves and those of dual pairs are related by d-critical flips, which are virtual birational transformations introduced by the second author. We then prove the existence of fully-faithful functors between derived categories of coherent sheaves on these moduli spaces. Our result gives an evidence of a d-critical analogue of Bondal-Orlov, Kawamata’s D/K equivalence conjecture, and also a categorification of wall-crossing formula of Donaldson-Thomas type invariants on ADHM sheaves introduced by Diaconescu.
