Schedule and Abstracts

Th: 14:00 - Homological projective duality for the Segre cubic
Pieter Belmans
The Segre cubic and Castelnuovo-Richmond quartic are two projectively dual hypersurfaces in P^4, with a long and rich history starting in the 19th century. We will explain how Kuznetsov's theory of homological projective duality lifts this projective duality to a relationship between the derived category of a small resolution of the Segre cubic and a small resolution of the Coble fourfold, the double cover of P^4 ramified along the Castelnuovo-Richmond quartic. Homological projective duality then provides a description of the derived categories of linear sections, which we will describe to illustrate the theory. The case of the Segre cubic and Coble fourfold is non-trivial enough to exhibit interesting behavior, whilst being easy enough to explain the general machinery in this special and very classical case. This is joint work with Thorsten Beckmann.


15:00 - Coffee Break


Th: 15:30 - Lagrangian fibrations on hyper-Kähler fourfolds
Emanuele Macrì
I will present joint work with Olivier Debarre, Daniel Huybrechts and Claire Voisin on the SYZ hyper-Kähler conjecture for fourfolds under certain topological assumptions. As application, this proves a conjecture by O'Grady that a hyper-Kähler fourfold whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to the one of the Hilbert square of a K3 surface is a deformation of a Hilbert square.


Th: 17:00 - Hyperkähler varieties as Brill-Noether loci on curves
Soheyla Feyzbakhsh
Abstract. Consider the moduli space MC(r; KC) of stable rank r vector bundles on a curve C with canonical determinant, and let h be the maximum number of linearly independent global sections of these bundles. If C embeds in a K3 surface X as a generator of Pic(X) and the genus of C is sufficiently high, I will show the Brill-Noether locus BNC ⊂ MC(r; KC) of bundles with h global sections is a smooth projective Hyperkähler manifold, isomorphic to a moduli space of stable vector bundles on X. The main technique is to apply wall-crossing with respect to Bridgeland stability conditions on K3 surfaces.




Fr: 9:00 - Nonexistence of semi-orthogonal decompositions of derived categories
Federico Caucci
Semi-orthogonal decomposition (SOD) of triangulated categories is a central concept introduced by Bondal and Orlov some years ago. Due to its conjectural relation with the minimal model program, it is natural to try to understand which derived categories of varieties do not admit non-trivial SODs. During the talk, I will show how a relative point of view involving the Albanese map could shed new light on this non-trivial problem.


10:00 - Coffee Break


Fr: 10:30 - Derived invariants of irregular varieties
Giuseppe Pareschi
I will talk about various derived invariants of smooth complex projective varieties governed by the Albanese map, including the relative canonical ring. I will also show some applications to the derived invariance of Hodge numbers. This is a joint work with Federico Caucci and Luigi Lombardi.


Fr: 11:30 - Simple K-equivalence and derived categories
Marco Rampazzo
A simple K-equivalence is a birational morphism which is resolved by two smooth blowups, generalizing standard flops and Mukai flops. By the DK-conjecture of Bondal, Orlov and Kawamata, the existence of such map is expected to lead to a derived equivalence. Kanemitsu gives a partial classification of simple K-equivalences, by reducing their study to special Fano manifolds admitting two projective bundle structures, called roofs: these objects are widely studied because of their connection with the phenomenon of “double mirrors”, i.e. pairs of non isomorphic but derived equivalent Calabi—Yau varieties. I will discuss the relation between roofs, double mirrors and simple K-equivalence at the level of derived categories, verifying the conjecture in several classes of examples.
