Folding derived categories with Frobenius functors

Following the work B. Deng, J. Du, Frobenius morphisms and representations of algebras, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358 (2006) 3591-3622], we show that a Frobenius morphism F on an algebra A induces naturally a functor F on the (bounded) derived category D^b(A) of , and we further prove that the derived category D^b(A^F) of for the F-fixed point algebra A^F is naturally embedded as the triangulated subcategory D^b(A)^F of F-stable objects in D^b(A). When applying the theory to an algebra with finite global dimension, we discover a folding relation between the Auslander-Reiten triangles in D^b(A^F) and those in D^b(A). Thus, the AR-quiver of D^b(A^F) can be obtained by folding the AR-quiver of D^b(A). Finally, we further extend this relation to the root categories ?(A^F) of A^F and ?(A) of A, and show that, when A is hereditary, this folding relation over the indecomposable objects in ?(A^F) and ?(A) results in the same relation on the associated root systems as induced from the graph folding relation.
