Abstract
Segal [17] proved that any autoequivalence of an enhanced triangulated category can be realised as a spherical twist. However, when exhibiting an autoequivalence as a spherical twist one has various choices for the source category of the spherical functor. We describe a construction that realises the composition of two spherical twists as the twist around a single spherical functor whose source category semi-orthogonally decomposes into the source categories for the spherical functors we started with. We give a description of the cotwist for this spherical functor and prove, in the special case when our starting twists are around spherical objects, that the cotwist is the Serre functor (up to a shift). We finish with an explicit treatment for the case of $\mathbb {P}$-objects.
