Usage in scientific papers

Furthermore, Bridgeland has shown that if B is obtained from A by a simple tilt, i.e. by tilting at a torsion theory generated by one simple ob ject, then the intersection of the closures of U (A) and U (B) has codimension one.
Stability conditions, torsion theories and tilting

In this case U (A) ∩ U (B) is non-empty and of codimension one when B is a simple left tilt of A [5, Lemma 5.5], i.e. when B is obtained from A by tilting in the sense of at a torsion theory generated by a simple ob ject.
Stability conditions, torsion theories and tilting

Stability conditions, torsion theories and tilting

Furthermore, any left tilt at a torsion theory containing finitely many (isomorphism classes of ) indecomposables is obtained in this way as a composition of simple left tilts.
