Tensor weight structures and t-structures on derived categories of Noetherian schemes

Abstract: We give a condition which characterises those weight structures on a derived category which come from a Thomason filtration on the underlying scheme. Weight structures satisfying our condition will be called $\otimes ^c$-weight structures. More precisely, for a Noetherian separated scheme $X$, we give a bijection between the set of compactly generated $\otimes ^c$-weight structures on $\mathbf{D} (\mathrm{Qcoh\hspace{1mm}}X)$ and the set of Thomason filtrations of $X$. We achieve this classification in two steps. First, we show that the bijection of S\v{t}ov\'{\i}\v{c}ek and Posp\'{\i}\v{s}il restricts to give a bijection between the set of compactly generated $\otimes ^c$-weight structures and the set of compactly generated tensor t-structures. We then use our earlier classification of compactly generated tensor t-structures to obtain the desired result. We also study some immediate consequences of these classifications in the particular case of the projective line. We show that in contrast to the case of tensor t-structures, there are no non-trivial tensor weight structures on $\mathbf{D}^b (\mathrm{Coh \hspace{1mm}} \mathbb{P}^1_k)$.
